Inspiration hit this evening, and the last two or three pages of chapter 28 ("Deification") more or less wrote themselves! The finished chapter is now posted for your perusal ( Read more... )

Chapter 27 ("Ominous Omens"), marking the beginning of "Goddess" is now up and awaiting feedback (*hint, hint*) from those of you so inclined. In any case, I hit a record length of ten-and-two-thirds pages in Word, so I hope the length of the chapter makes up a bit for the length of the wait... A piece of TRD trivia, by the way: those of you who ( Read more... )

Chapter 26 ("With this Cord") is posted and awaiting commentary (which I'm hoping fervently for, as the amount of research that went into writing that handfasting would have bordered on masochistic if research weren't one of my passions). As I mentioned in the AN corresponding to this chapter, sections of Phoebe and Cole's vows were adapted from ( Read more... )

Chapter 25 ("Understanding") is up for your reading pleasure (and hopefully your comments!). I'm tired right now, so am going to keep this short and hopefully update in the next day or two with progress notes for Chapter 26 (tentatively titled "With this Cord"). In any case (for those of you who don't bother reading the ANs), I just wanted to ( Read more... )

Chapter 24 ("Acceptance and Welcoming") posted early this morning, ringing in the New Year in a productive fashion and finally completing the Wiccaning that I'd struggled so long with...it's one thing working with just straight supernatural magic, but with something like a Wiccaning or a handfasting, I have a belief system to be true to (because I' ( Read more... )

I really must stop posting at these obscenely late/early hours... Anyway, Chapter 22 ("Future Unfolding") is now posted! I'm satisfied with the way it turned out, and am hoping to receive feedback over the weekend (not that I'm not always hoping to receive feedback, but that's beside the point). I think you'll all enjoy it, at least...I know I

Chapter 21 ("What Lies Between") is up and awaiting your perusal (and--I hope--your feedback!). It's an unprecedented slightly-over-nine pages, which I hope makes up for the wait.

In any case, I should have been asleep at least four hours ago, so I'll close with that and make another entry at a more civilized hour.

Okay, so Monday turned into Thursday--you all know the drill by now--but chapter 20 ("Making Connections") is finally up! Bit of a cliffhanger on this one, I'm afraid, but I'll try not to keep you waiting as long for the next chapter as I did for this one (and I mean that, because I'm really looking forward to writing it)! It should cover the ( Read more... )

Chapter 19 ("Struck Senseless") is posted, along with chapter 1's new prologue, and all chapters have been edited, polished, and received small additions. So if any of you feel like re-reading from the beginning, this is the ideal time! (And those who don't, please, at least read the prologue ( Read more... )

Posted chapter 18 ("Beautiful is the Child") at approximately 4:00 A.M. today, detailing the hours up to and including Wyatt's birth. I was exhausted all day--which work didn't help--but it was worth it! I'm satisfied with the way the chapter came out, especially as it was so long in coming. Still, all the research I did ultimately paid off: I ( Read more... )
