Whoo-hoo! We did it. Finally. In four sections with a total of more than 37,000 words.
This has been an interesting experience, both because of the scope (neither of us had written anything this long before) and because of how much input we asked from other people as we wrote it. It's been roughly six months of writing with some extended breaks. Another month of beta work and revising. A couple of days of coding and icon-making.
Oddly enough, it didn't end up being called 'That Charade Thing.'
Title: Masquerade
Authors: slidellra and omphale23
Pairing: K/F
Length: 37,000 words.
Rating: NC-17. Like there was any doubt about that.
Notes: Written for ds_harlequin. This due South AU is based on the 1963 film Charade, with much unrepentant theft of good lines.
We'd like to thank all of the betas who worked on this--eledhwenlin, j_s_cavalcante, madsciencechick, and wordplay. They gave us great advice, even if we didn't always take it. We'd also like to thank all of you who listened to us talk about this piece over the last few months, and shoemaster, who gave us a challenge to post it by suggesting a prompt that was so wonderfully close to a story we might never have otherwise finished.
Any remaining mistakes are entirely our own.
