And it's off!

[emmagrant01]

Wow. I have just sent the final draft of Surrender the Grey off to beta! I'm hoping to get comments back from them within a month, and my goal is to post the final version September 1.

It was really, really fun to spend a lot of time back in that universe, though. I love those characters so much, and I'm still sort of stunned that other folks liked them as well. I wish I had more stories to tell in that universe, but at this point, I just don't. :-/

But now I can move on to other big fic projects! :-D

yay! *does a happy dance*

can't wait to reread it!...seriously i have been fighting with myself because i wanted to reread it just as badly as i wanted to wait for it to be finished .

[emmagrant01.livejournal.com]

It was really fun to re-read it all in the process, actually! When the whole thing is done, I want to read LMH and STG back-to-back, because I haven't done that yet. :-)

[vlredreign.livejournal.com]

Good to hear! I have refrained from retreading both, cause I knew you were chasing the bugs out of it. Will those two dtories be available for download, emma?

[emmagrant01.livejournal.com]

Yes, the eBook version of STG will be posted on September 1 as well. :-)

[elsie.livejournal.com]

Ooh, that's great -

- wait, what? Big fic projects?! I seem to remember something being cryptically mentioned way way back about you and geoviki and blackboggart and I think abbycadabra ... it made me squee a lot. :D

[emmagrant01.livejournal.com]

Yes, that's one of them! We're finally about to get rolling on that. ;-)

[krissielee.livejournal.com]

...I swear, eventually I'll sit down and finish reading that story...but until then, know that I still think you're brilliant, and that once I do have time to read I'll wonder why it took me so bloody long. *looks at list of things to do, and fics to write, and remembers why*

[emmagrant01.livejournal.com]

Hey, at this point you might as well wait for the final version! ;-)

[krissielee.livejournal.com]

Heh, yeah! XD Took me long enough to get around to it...I think I never made it past 9, not that I even remember what happened there...

[daisy-chan.livejournal.com]

ooo. Order of the Dragon time?

::goes to reread flashback bits of StG because she doesn't want to think about tomorrow being Monday::

[emmagrant01.livejournal.com]

Yes, that's one of the next projects! W00t!

[rabidpotterfan.livejournal.com]

Ooo...ebook version and coming out on my birthday too! :) I can't wait!

[emmagrant01.livejournal.com]

I, uh, planned it that way. ;-)

Left my heart

[merriquemaraude.livejournal.com]

Hiya Emma!
I've started translating Left my heart, and the first two chapters are now up on our web site Kelmien kartta (that's Marauder's map in finnish). You can also find Vendela Bourne's translation on your Under a mistletoe on the same page!

URL is http://www.kelmienkartta.net/suomennokset.htm

[emmagrant01.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much!! I've updated my translation list (http://emmagrant01.livejournal.com/261654.html) with those links. :-)

[pombagira.livejournal.com]

Ooo.. how exciting...

*bounces around!!*

[emmagrant01.livejournal.com]

:-D

[caitlen.livejournal.com]

too exciting! Can't wait to re-read it again! I love these two works of yours.. *lusty sigh* *happy sigh!!*

[emmagrant01.livejournal.com]

Hee, thanks! :-)

[sesptwd.livejournal.com]

I actually got a tingle upon seeing that icon again.

*swoons*

[emmagrant01.livejournal.com]

Aw, aren't you sweet? ;-)

Hey, I just tried to email you something and it got sent back. What's your current email address?

[sesptwd.livejournal.com]

sesptwd1@gmail.com
or can always be reached at sesptwd@livejournal.com

*curious*

[winnett.livejournal.com]

We did love them. Will you post where the final will be held so I can go out and relink it to my rec page? Then I can sit down and read through them both again. Which I don't do often for really long works.

[emmagrant01.livejournal.com]

The link to the main page will remain the same, actually: http://www.queerasjedi.com/emma/hpfic/stg0.html. I'll just change the links on that page when it's posted, and I'll add links to other places I'll post the fic (like Skyehawke). :-)

[puppydifranco.livejournal.com]

YAY!! I loved that story so much...

[emmagrant01.livejournal.com]

And that's just so amazing to me! :-)

[abbycadabra.livejournal.com]

Ha! Just to show you what a ditz I am... I thought that the whole time you were talking about finishing up STG, you were talking about some sort of Stargate fic. At first I was sort of like, "Whoa, when did she break into that fandom?" I thought that during that long hiatus I had away from LJ and the internet that you had turned into this big Stargate fan... I was just going to roll with it. ;)

And hooray for other big projects!

[emmagrant01.livejournal.com]

LOL, seriously? Yet another sign that I've been really, really slow about getting this done. :-P

And yayes, new projects!

[nefru.livejournal.com]

make it Order of the Dragon project, pretty please :)

[emmagrant01.livejournal.com]

Oh, it absolutely is! I'm excited to have a chance to work on that, at last. :-)

[winstonmom.livejournal.com]

Yep, I checked the calendar and is time for my yearly reread of STG. I am glad this review maybe right on time for this event.

I will always count LMH and STG as my all time favorite fics, and I am ready excited to read it again and see if I can pick the changes.

[gblvr.livejournal.com]

I know you probably posted about this, but I can't find it, so I'll ask here: has the final version been delayed? I'm asking because we're reading it for bookgroup this month....

[emmagrant01.livejournal.com]

Yes, it has, for a variety of reasons. And with a huge stack of holiday exchange fics to write, I'm now shooting for getting back to work on it in December, with a hope of having it done for Christmas.

I tell you what, though. If you want, I'll send you the almost final draft as a word doc. It probably won't change much more from that. Let me know if you want it, and what email address is best. :-)

[gblvr.livejournal.com]

I totally understand -- I have a behemoth of my own that desperately needs revising, but finding the time is next to impossible!

If you don't mind sending it, that would be awesome...I won't have to compile the separate parts this way. Thank you so much! My email is gblvr@yahoo.com.
