I FINISHED A LOST BOY!!! :D

Holy sheep, for a while there I thought I'd never get through it! [beam] I just got to a point, like breaking a logjam, where it all flowed from there, it was almost like October of '08, when I started this thing and wrote 40K in two weeks. Wow, that was two years ago!

So it's done. It's 39 chapters long, and 89,536 words. That's not counting "Turf Battles," by the way -- only the main novel. "Turf Battles" would add another 17,494 words, for a total of 107,030 words. Whoa. [stares at number for a while]

What I'm going to do now (after going to bed) is read over the chapters I still have to post (33-39) and apply sandpaper as needed. That shouldn't take more than a day or two. So on Monday or Tuesday I'll start posting, and I'll post a chapter a day until the whole thing's up; it'll take one week. And then we'll be done, OMG! :D

If you need to refresh your memory [cough] the first chapter is here, and the last posted chapter (32) is here. All the chapters link through to previous and next, and each chapter has all the previous chapters linked in the header, so however you prefer to read.

I want to thank everyone who's been reading, and especially everyone who's commented, for your wonderful support and saintly patience. I love this story and I've loved sharing it with you all, and I love this verse, so thanks as well to poisontaster for letting us play in her sandbox. You're all awesome. :)

See you again in a day or two. [wave]

Oh my god I can't believe that you have actually finished the story. I love the story but had given it up as a complete lost cause. I'm going to reread all the chapters to get back on track with the story so that the new chapters will flow on.

Great stuff I say :)

Congratulations! :-)

Funny thing, I was just thinking about this story a few days ago and even re-read some of the chapters. So excited to hear that we'll see the rest soon. :-)

I was just thinking about this fic last week and hoping it would eventually be finished and hurrah for you! Can't wait to read it!

Hurray! I was very afraid that real life (yours, LN's) had gotten in the way of finishing.

So glad to hear it! I can't wait to read the rest.
