ahem

Y'all, I just finished my epic. Well, not finished-finished, obviously, because there's still quite a bit of tweaking/editing to do before it's ready. But I wrote the last words of it just now!

It hasn't hit me yet, but I'm sure once it does I'll be curled up in the corner, shaking and crying.

THIS STORY.

Yay! Feels good, doesn't it?

[identity profile] penny-lane-42.livejournal.com 2012-09-27 08:47 pm (UTC)(link)
I think it does! I'm gonna miss it a lot, but the accomplishment is creeping up on me!

Go out and do something special for yourself to celebrate - get your nails done, eat a quart of Ben & Jerry's, do something to mark this momentous occasion - you've earned it!

[identity profile] penny-lane-42.livejournal.com 2012-09-27 09:04 pm (UTC)(link)
Aww, thanks! It might have to wait till this weekend, but I might see if I can do a little something!

omg you're amazing *-*

[identity profile] penny-lane-42.livejournal.com 2012-09-27 09:17 pm (UTC)(link)
You might want to save that till you've read it--endings are hard, and I'm scared to death it won't satisfy everyone!

[identity profile] laeryn.livejournal.com 2012-09-27 09:29 pm (UTC)(link)
you'd be amazing even if the ending was crap, because what you've writen so far is pretty great. also, if you write an ending that satisfies everyone, you're either a genius or have taken no risks at all!

when will you upload? :3

That's good to keep in mind, thank you!

There'll be a new chapter up tonight. AND AFTER THAT ONLY TWO MORE OMG.

Hee! Thanks!

Congrats! I'm so excited to read the rest. I honestly feel so invested in the story, and I'm just a reader! I can't imagine how you feel~

[identity profile] penny-lane-42.livejournal.com 2012-10-01 08:23 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, thank you! Nothing makes me happier than hearing people are invested in something I wrote! Thanks for letting me know!

YAY LAUREN. I am so impressed. And even though I understand missing the story, isn't it lovely to be absolutely sure you aren't going to lose steam and die in the middle? That's my biggest fear with stories, always.

YAY YOU.

Thank you!

It is! Though somehow with this one I never had the time to worry about that because I was working on it ALL THE TIME. I've always had that fear before, to such an extent that I rarely, rarely wrote things longer than a one-shot (even something like Ars Poetica I wrote all of before I posted it). It was so strange not having that fear hovering all the time. Now If I could just learn to apply this to original novels....

So is this where we all bawl now? :( But congratulations and I couldn't be more happy and proud!

/huggles!

Somehow I never saw the end coming. I thought the story would go on as long as Infinite is there? Idk. Ugh. :

This can be the crying post!

Thank you so much! Your encouragment, right from the beginning, has meant so much to me!

Congrats! I mean really it has been a great err...journey? Trying to think of a word that will encompass all the feelings we've been put through with your fic and journey is all I can come up with at the moment. I'll certainly be sad. Super sad. Already am sad just seeing the 26/28 on the chapter heading but I'm happy for you! You did it! You didn't give up and you got through it all.

And I'll be here waiting for your next story. ^____^

It has been a journey! Quite a long one!

I'll be sad, too, but I'm also proud! And thank you so much for your constant encouragment! I really appreciate it!
