Breaking Radio Silence: Fic

[tryfanstone]

OMG finishedThis is not my story. This is my father's epic Swallows and Amazons novel, all 228261 words of it, which I have been editing on and off for the last two years and intensively over the last five weeks. People, I was pretty desperate to get this story posted as soon as possible, and I'm very happy to say that my father will indeed see it

Wow that is a marvellous achievement for both you and your Dad! (Fancy calling a character Titty though...oh lor!) Welcome back to online-dom. Nice to have you back!

I know - when I got the last chapter of Book One up on AO3 and looked at the word count, it was a bit of a shock! Although Titty is actually a canon character...it's just that - eh, I think Dad put a lot of his own experiences (cross-country running, climbing, cycling) into his writing, there.

Although, not really back on-line. In Penrith for the duration (on unpaid leave, now), time is very limited and subject to constant interruption. This, though, I did want to post.

I did think of your dad, equally awesome, when I posted this - hope all is well!

It's my mum in the wars at the moment! She 'spectacularly' broke her arm and had it plated last week, I just got home from Shrewsbury yesterday. Drop me an email if you ever want to vent or chat in slow time!

Major congratulations to your dad and to you!

Best wishes for everything x
