So, can I just say (in the immortal words of Keanu Reeves) "Whoa!"
Seriously guys...
Thank you, each and every one of you who have read and who voted for "DUST" in the Sunnydale Memorial Fanfiction Awards. I'm absolutely floored and flattered and flustered and many other things beginning with the letter f. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
I know I've been absent. I'm sorry. Real life kind of grabbed my by the brain and wouldn't let go for a while.
HOWEVER, I've been terribly remiss and I seriously need to get back to writing. Things are looking like that's going to be possible again. I've got chapter 30 on the editing block, and will post it probably sometime in the next 24 hours. Chapter 31 is ready to be edited, but it might not go up until next week. I would REALLY REALLY like to get back to a weekly schedule. I've missed all of you, missed writing, missed posting, missed Buffy and Spike and their place in my head.
Please, feel free to give me a kick in the pants, or tell me what you're loving about DUST or why I should continue this story (or else) or whatever you think I need to hear to get me grooving again.
In the meantime, look at all the shiny awards you guys gave me! And thank you again, for believing in my weird little DUST-verse and hanging on for the ride.
<-- This one makes me proudest.
