WHAT. I THOUGHT THIS STORY WAS DONE! I just spent THREE DAYS reading the whole thing. Going fucking crazy and skipping class because I couldn't get enough. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. I hate reading WIPs because I go fucking spare with anticipation.
Sorry, just couldn't control my frustrated excitement. I really love this story. When Sherlock first turned into a swan, I was like "...wut" and considered leaving, but I'm SO GLAD I DIDN'T because you just did it so well and it's just coming out great. Not too corny and just, ugh, all my emotions, man.
Going in my brain's top ten list, fo sho.
So, I will be coming back multiple times a day to see if you've updated.
I'm going to say right now, I totally understand that you have a life, and I am really sorry for being pushy. But I'm totally going to be like "ZOMG MOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAR" every time. Sorry about that. Can't quite help myself.
*sigh* I always feel bad when I lose my way on a fic. I've got two languishing on FF.net and it's not looking like I'll ever get around to finishing them. Shame, too, because they were quite good. But I wrote them at the beginning of my Sherlockianism and SO MUCH of my headspace has changed since then. I don't even know if I can write gen S + J anymore. And oddly when I started out I was proud of my lack of slash writing. I figured Atlin Merrick had that covered.
But yes, right, tangent.
The swan thing was always going to happen, but somehow when I wrote Till Now it turned into something alltogether different and more grounded. The original version I posted had no mention of Jim and Seb in it. I had to put those in in the rewrite. Part of it was a failed experiment in adding verisimilitude to fantasy stories I'd been wondering about for years
( ... )
So I basically just read through all of this at once thinking it was finished. NOPE. I love this way more than I should, please please update soon! My poor heart!
1. Yaaaaaay! I mean, feel better and all, but yaaaay! 2. Good! 3. MARRIED!JOHNLOCK 4. I am glad to hear that it did not quell your slash goggles. I was surprised to hear that from people. I only saw /more/ of it. That being said, I will be sad that you will be spending any time away from your wonderful Johnlock fics, but it would force me to read The Body Farm, which I am sure is good too. I mean there are only so many times I can re-read TST.
Although, it has to be said. I get really sick of my own fics really, really quickly. It's inevitable with all the rewriting I have to do, and the constant re-reads to make sure I've got my continuity straight. But I never get sick of Till Now I Never Knew. Somehow, that one fic, that one agonising fairy tale which gave me so much grief and pain and downright fury as I was writing it, is probably my favourite story of my writing career. I cannot find fault in it, beyond a few mechanical errors. It was worth every tear, every gnashed tooth, every raw-bitten lip, because it's something I can look at with genuine pride.
I discovered this fic today,and I was eagerly anticipating what would happen next at the end of every chapter, but when I finished chapter 17, and going on to 18, all I can think about is, 'she better sodding free Sherlock from the bloody curse, because this is the last freaking chapter, and she hasn't updated it yet', and YOU HAVEN'T.
:'( This is my shedding a few tears *sniffs*
I hope you'll feel better soon, and finish up this story so that I won't die of suspense. :)
I'm one of those people who goes to work come hell or high water and today for the second time in four years I've actually called in sick. I am SO ready for this goddamn cold or whatever it is to be over.
I'm still trying to write, but mostly all I can manage is a sort of doodle...thing for another story that probably will never be posted. I've got a few of those, just things I write to keep my head quiet. The stuff I've managed for Swan is...minimal.
I honestly can't believe I've been sick since pre-Christmas. Very, very unfair.

No, seriously, I'm working on it. Pip and I have made DIAGRAMS, okay? There were INDEX CARDS involved.
