Please indulge me while I make a little announcement.



I can hardly believe it, but the final draft of Left My Heart has just been sent to beta. The rewrite was a very big project, much bigger than I'd anticipated! I got so much wonderful constructive criticism from people on the first draft, and I really, truly appreciate it! I'm very happy with the way the final version has turned out. I hope people will be interested in reading it when it's posted! Thanks in advance to jedirita, littlesnitch, (ETA:) _inbetween_ and devon_may for taking a look at the final draft for me.

And this means... I can finally start writing the sequel! Yay! When I post the final version of LMH, I'll let you know when to expect to see that start. I anticipate posting parts on Wednesday mornings this time around. I might even post a little cookie soon! Stay tuned, and thank you so much for your support and patience. I know this was promised a while back...

Yay! That's the best news I've had all day. :D :D

[loony-moony.livejournal.com]

You just made my day. :D Now I finally have the mental strength to write my picspam. Whee! Picspam day tomorrow! :DDD

[emmagrant01.livejournal.com]

Oh, good! I was half-expecting tomatoes to get thrown at me...

[emmagrant01.livejournal.com]

Oh, cool! Picspam is something you write?

[angelofmercy.livejournal.com]

Yippie! Now I'll have a reason to get up on Wednesdays!

*squee!!*

I might even post a little cookie soon!
Ooooh... do share. :3

[emmagrant01.livejournal.com]

Cool! Thanks!

Yay! I've been waiting for this ever since I read LMH after seeing sherant's fanart for it. This is great news. XD

[emmagrant01.livejournal.com]

*grins* Oh, and now that it's been sent off, I can get to work on a beta for you...

[angelofmercy.livejournal.com]

Yes, now I must go read LMH again in order to prepare

[emmagrant01.livejournal.com]

Thank you! That art was gorgeous, wasn't it? *sighs dreamily*

[lauramcewan.livejournal.com]

you really should think of zine-ing this and the sequel, darling. :) I don't read HP, yanno, but THIS was brilliant. :)

[emmagrant01.livejournal.com]

Oh, no! Wait for the final version! It'll be posted as soon as I get the okays from the betas! It's so much better... (IMO, of course.)

[lauramcewan.livejournal.com]

lol I am tring to read your icon...is the last line supposed to be "the darkness wins" or did you mean to misspell "the"?

^_^ Feel free to smack me.

[emmagrant01.livejournal.com]

Zine-ing? I wouldn't have the faintest clue how to go about doing that! How is that different from just putting it online?

And thanks -- that's such a huge compliment!

[angelofmercy.livejournal.com]

But it's calling to me now - how can I resist?

[angelofmercy.livejournal.com]

no - i screwed up and didn't catch it for about a week and it's impossible to edit out...but i like it anyway :)

[lauramcewan.livejournal.com]

Well, you know, some stories just deserve to be in print, to hold in the hand. Sian can tell you more about actually getting one out, I'm sure. :) I have Alex's Provocateur in print and it's so grand to see and feel the words in my hands.

[lauramcewan.livejournal.com]

ah OK! LOL very cool wording, though. Are they lyrics or something you wrote?

[kinetikatrue]

Such excellent news! Will be waiting for the fianl version! And the cookie! And the sequel!

and now I will tone down the exclamation points and go back to lurking. yup. so i can wait to pounce on the aforementioned goodies. that is the plan.

[angelofmercy.livejournal.com]

Awe thanks - just me scribbling a few words

[kriken.livejournal.com]

LMH can get better? But it was so good the first time around! This I can't wait to read :) And to hear that the sequel's coming soon just about made my week ;)

[lauramcewan.livejournal.com]

ooo very cool! ^_^

[emmagrant01.livejournal.com]

Yay!

[ninamalfoy]

Oh, that's awesome news! Congratulations on finishing the rewrite; I applaud your determination to see that huge project through! *throws confetti*

And I'm looking forward to the sequel. Very much, in fact. If you must know, I'm practically gibbering. ;-)
