Belated (but HUGE) Thanks

May 11, 2009 10:22

Due to its top-secret nature, I didn't name the name of my glorious beta-reader, Melusin, when my exchange fic went up. Then, due to scatterbrainedness, after the big reveal I completely neglected to laud her publically for all her hard work and the generous time she spent helping me get "Three Moments in Time" into readable shape. Let me say it ( Read more... )

thank you. I don't know if you knew, but it went out originally with all the footnotes omitted. I thought they'd be a bugger to code.

I actually wound up giving birth the day before the story went up, so it took me until the end of the Exchange to realize it had posted at all. I had a brief panic thinking I had managed to miss a few emails, and was therefore sacked. So I missed out on the two versions drama, though was gratified at both the quick fix and that so many people read both versions!

There was absolutely no way we weren't going to read both versions. It was actually an interesting experience, reading it without, then going back and reading with.

This was a fantastic story (of course). And All Hail Melusin, indeed!

Awww, thanks so much.

The babies aren't old enough to wave back, but they grunt and flail in your direction. :)

I had to go back and consult my chart to see if I liked it. My notes say "excellent, hilarious OCs, cool time turner" !!

PS: Did you have those babies yet? Have you been pregnant forever or does it just seem like that?

mad_queen_mab May 11 2009, 22:16:54 UTC

I did indeed have the babies (on the day my exchange fic posted, actually). Hence my vanishing from the internet. Glad to hear you liked the story. It was very fun to write; I lucked out prompt wise.
