Acknowledgements, Notes and a Place You Can Comment
<< Master Post
ETA 12/09/11: Hi, I bet you're wondering where the heck this has gone, eh? Well, it's now available over here as an ebook! Yes, you have to buy it, but it's less than a dollar/pound! It's in Kindle format, but you don't need to have a Kindle to buy it. You can download the free Amazon Kindle app. It also comes with an extra 10,000 words of story and it is updated, polished and adjusted for publication. I haven't taken the chapters down, so if you have links you'll still have access, but if you don't already have the links then there's no way to find the chapters (they're not tagged). If any of you still come back to read this, occasionally or not, I do hope you'll consider buying it. Thank you all. ♥♥
Notes: I dreamt this up. No, seriously. I was struggling to find a plot for my big bang - I’d started three. No, seriously, this is number four - and, tired and unhappy, I went for a nap and had this amazing dream, in which I was playing on this wall by Asda in my town and there was this hole in the wall and I climbed through into this whole other world.
Admittedly, the dream then went weird and I was sixteen and my dad was there and very, very strange things happened, but that first bit stuck with me and turned into this. I went running through the house shouting, “I have a big bang, I have a big bang!” Total awesomeness.
This is probably been the most frustrating and brilliant thing to write. Annoying as hell to edit. So much fun to finish and look back on.
And I must say; LiveJournal chose the perfect time to start cooperating with me again. I cannot describe how happy I am I could post onto here, rather than google sites. (:
I’ll probably write some random one-shots (AU, canon, missing scenes etc) for this set of characters over at runaway_tales eventually, so if you’re interested, have a look at my sidebar, which, if I do, will have a link that says: “03. A Hole in the World”. Any ficlets will be put within there.
I haven’t got much else to say, really, so I’ll leave it at that.
Acknowledgements: First off, skullgirl013, who, although she says she doesn’t do anything, is probably the most amazing beta I could ask for. She catches the huge errors, she helps me work out my plots (many long bus rides yelling down the phone about where things are going and how they’re going to work out and why won’t Bianca kiss Alexandra already?! Ugh!) and she supports me. She doesn’t yell when I’m not writing, but encourages. She doesn’t lecture about how I should be finished already and she stops me from deleting whole word documents when I’m pissed off. She’s the best and I couldn’t have done this without her.
Which brings us to ben_wilson_trs, whose support means the world to me. He’s one of my best and most supportive friends. ♥♥♥
Also, kat_sor because she’s always supportive, cherry_soup888 because she’s just awesome in general and is pro-lesbianism and purplevks because she’s my new friend, my plunderbunny and tells me to go edit when I should be editing. Also, her writing is kickass and you should go read her big bang when she posts it!
Last, but by no means least, my artists. My amazing artists; boxedfish and shan_3414 whose artwork both brightened my day every time they showed me a new draft and is an amazing addition to my big bang. I’m not going to lay any limelight on one piece in particular because it’s all as amazing as each other. So, I’ll just say - for the millionth time - thank you. You’re both incredible.
You should go comment on their art. You can find boxedfish’s here and Shan’s here.
Regarding Feedback: I um and ah a bit over creative criticism. I’m a fragile person, but if you’re nice about it, feel free. If you find a typo or a huge error (like I found I put “grapping” instead of “grabbing” earlier, which made me lol I admit), let me know, please!! Feedback in general is amazing. Comments feed the bunnies and my ego. Just make sure you comment on the art, too, okay? (:
