I've written 16 and a half chapters, but the story has taken a different turn, so I'm not sure how long this new version will be. I thought I had an idea, but then the story went in a different direction.

I had forgotten what it was to write. It's such an interesting experience. I feel the emotions of the characters intensely. I'm not the sort of ( Read more... )

I was poking around on google docs and found a bunch of documents with ambiguous names including one called, "The End" which was full of notes for NoG/Invictus/RoS!

It had abandoned plotlines from NoG, scenes I cut, and stream of consciousness writing I used to do.

Here's an example of it from Harry's POV towards the end of NoG, "What am I to you ( Read more... )

I finished reading through NoG. There were a lot of formatting issues on ao3, so I fixed all of those, or at least I think I did. I still haven't finished uploading the rest of Invictus because I want to make sure I have the most recent version, so I'm uploading the livejournal version, which means either I don't have the paragraph spacing or the ( Read more... )

I finished reading through Invictus yesterday. I tried to post it all to ao3, but it stopped working in the middle of it, so I only got up to chapter 44. Will hopefully finish uploading the rest of that this week.

I'll need some help.

Chapter 16

[Sorry, it's been so long that I no longer remember what I had beta'd, but I'm going to post all that I have. I wrote the first part of this long ago, then wrote 17, but never wrote 18. I just now finished up this chapter. I could post 17 as is, but I want to remember or figure out the ending before I post that.]

My boys turned one yesterday. It's been an insane year. They both require visits to specialists and consultations with various doctors. One of my sons had nerve damage in utero and we were originally told that it was permanent 7th facial nerve palsy, but the latest specialist I've seen thinks that the original diagnosis was wrong. Both boys have ( Read more... )
