Looks so good! I know that in your hands, the characters will remain true, and it promises to be an excellent read! \o/

Whee! I'm so glad to see your preview here--have I mentioned lately how much I love your story to bits? And I think you've chosen the perfect teaser snippets here as well.

I can't wait to fall in love with it all over again. I think this is among your best work ever and I'm getting excited about seeing the artwork paired with it too.

Aw heck, I'm just getting excited in general! :-)

Thank you! *hugs* I didn't have the time for anything more than a few extracts, but I'm glad you think they give a good flavour of the story... A story that certainly wouldn't exist if not for your encouragement and help! *hugs again*

Not long now 'til it goes live!! \o/

Hey, I was on the verge of pulling out my hair and scrapping the whole thing but for the hand-holding you (and bluespirit_star and lantean_drift) provided!

I'm more than ready for it to start--bring 'er on, I say!

So, I know I said this before (when you posted the snippet in August), but it bears repeating. Ahem.

I didn't have any time to do anything other than to post a few extracts, but I found I couldn't resist taking part in the previews regardless. Can't wait 'til it all goes live!!

Hope you're starting to feel better!

This is a brilliant preview - you really catch the reader's interest & leave them panting for more ( & now, now, now! *g*)

Yay - I can't wait for it to go live too!
*dances in anticipation*
*looks at calendar*
Yikes! This is going to get tiring... ;-)

I'm feeling quite a bit better, thanks. I should be fighting fit for Sat! *g*

*dances with you*

So glad you're feeling better and yay for Saturday!!

I'm so very looking forward to this...the fallout of Doranda is a little kink of mine in SGA fic (as is insecure!Rodney...I know, I'm a bad, bad person), and honestly I think McKay was treated very unfairly by John/everyone -- well I could meta about that for hours! But I won't! I will just say that I am very interested in what you've set up here and anxious to read it! Doesn't hurt that you are one of my favorite SGA writers to start with. ♥

Thank you so much! I love post-Trinity fics too and had so much fun exploring the aftermath in this story. I really hope you enjoy it! cep xxx
