You were in Liverpool on Grand National weekend? Hectic! Did you manage to avoid the throngs of massively overdressed, very drunk people? :D (I avoid town like the plague on National weekend; the evenings, at least, are really unpleasant :/ ).
Either way, I hope you had a lovely time ♥
And I hope the blue screen of death has been blessedly absent :)

Thank you for all of this♥
It means a lot to me that you read this, and that you liked it. It's taken so long, and been kind of painful at times, so the fact that you think it follows on well from the first part is incredibly gratifying,especially so since, early on in particular, weeks would go by between one sentence and the next. I was rather worried that it would feel disjointed or jumpy for exactly that reason. It was all rather daunting really :)
It also became clear quite early on that the whole thing had kind of grown far beyond being an excuse to write incestuous smut and seems to be moving towards having a plot, which is also kind of scary, cos I suck at plot. And dialogue too! This is probably the most dialogue intensive thing I've ever written and I find it incredibly hard to do.
Erm, so yeah, there are a number of reasons this part took such a ridiculous long time, but I'm glad I persevered, and I'm very glad that you thought the persevering was worth it :)
(And talking of The Night Starts Here, I'm very much looking forward to the next part, however long it takes! Any news? :D)

Edmund was my favourite part of this too! He's so much fun to write :) All those good intentions, and so little understanding of what might actually be comforting or helpful. He means well, but he fails pretty comprehensively here. Maybe it'll come right in the end, despite that. We'll see ;)

I'm almost 3000 words into chapter 3, so I can safely say the next part won't take 8 months. Yay \o/ I really hope you like where the next bit goes. I'm kind of unsure about it. It needs some work, but hopefully it'll be ready to post in a month or so :)

Thank you so much for this lovely comment. It really does mean so much to me ♥ ♥ ♥

I hope things are going well with you :)
