The Epic Beta Fic got out of Beta!

[azalaisdep]

Well... [gulps], after another round of tweaking, and complete rewrites of the first few chapters (thank you again, green_maia for the re-beta!):

the eight-years-in-the-making Epic LoTR Beta Fic, Amid the Powers and Chances of the World, is Beta no more - I decided it's Really Finished and switched its status at the Henneth-Annun Story Archive to General,

Worry not, I already have a whole series of Tales from the Powers-verse vignettes scratching around the inside of my brain!

What I think I will probably do, when the first one of those is postable at HASA, is create a new "story" to hold vignettes as individual chapters, and then use the HASA alert list on P&C one more time to invite people, if they'd like to, to sign themselves up for alerts to the future vignettes...

Yes - that's what I have done with the short piece in the Returnverse - they are posted in one story called 'For Small Returns' over at Twisting the Hellmouth and OSA.

I know there are quite a few more of your Returnverse stories - they're on my list to catch up on now that I've read the "origin" story!

(Wow, the Returnverse has its own icon! Wishing now I had the Photoshop skills to create an appropriate one for Legolas and Rowanna...)

Someone made it for me when I wrote the first one - there is a matching banner at TtH - I can't really work out how to do complicated things like that at all...

We do have an equivalent piece of software to Photoshop at home, which I can use to do basic things like adding text to images to make myself an icon - but to do the sort of thing I'd like for Powers and Chances I'd need to find a photo of a woman who fits my mental image of Rowanna (thirties, handsome rather than pretty, very strong bones - the sort of face that will age well - I have a picture of someone like a young Sigourney Weaver; with masses of dark wavy hair) and work out how to combine it with one of the right ones of Orlando-Bloom-Legolas...

What I clearly need is someone to get hooked on the story who's an avid Photoshopper (or even better, can draw - I would so love to have some illustrations!)
