I've just sent the final draft of the last chapter to my beta.

I... don't know how to feel.

(ETA: Index post here in case there's anyone out there who doesn't know what I'm talking about.)

ETA2: Just happened to look back through old entries and found the WIP meme, wherein I moaned about this chapter and posted the first line. And indeed that line has gone. Plus the chapter has had SO MUCH work done to it that it's barely recognisable. And it's taken 5 months... /o\

Are we throwing confetti yet?

[elisi]

Neeeearly. It'll need a very thorough beta/edit, but it's there, y'know? No more scenes to add, no more major re-writes (and OH MY GOD HAVE THERE BEEN REWRITES!) and yeah. The end is seriously in sight. Now I can begin to worry that people won't like it... Or rather, that it won't be as fitting an ending as the story deserves.

I know that feeling! The oh gods it is finally OVER! And the omg-NOOOO-it-is OVER?!

Yeah..too MANY FEELINGS.

*hugs you so hard*

[elisi]

This thing is... the longest thing I've ever done. Both length and time wise. Also, probably, the most popular. And the most complex, what with marrying the 'verses. (EVERYTHING fits. Every bit of canon from both shows has been lined up. The attention to detail is RIDICULOUS. /o\)

Anyways, the relief is also rather overwhelming.

*hugs you back LOTS*

Whee! Moar My Immortal!

[elisi]

And then NOTHING MORE EVER!

(See, I don't know how to feel...)

ETA: Mind you, one reason for my determination in getting this thing DONE is that the Seeker has decided to hold my brain hostage and I NEED to get back to that 'verse. So I'll finish My Immortal (because everyone's been waiting for waaaaaaaay too long) and I'll write up the epilogue of the Martha fic (which ought to be easy, I've got it all planned out), and then I'll dive right back into 'Dating'... and all the rest. That fic is LONG. And then there's the Seeker's version of JE (set after that 'Who I Am' piece - so very much a 'future' fic) and then there's one where he [spoiler] and THEN there's the story which is what's grabbed me so, which is the story of how he finally finds what he's been seeking. :) *looks at list* It's gonna take me YEARS to write I suspect...

Hey - early morning rambling. Nice, isn't it?

I know how to feel! As a reader I feel sad! But I've enjoyed the heck out of this verse and the stories so...

[elisi]

Well I hope I'm going out on a high - or on a good note at least. And there's no more material for me to work (it always tied into canon). Miracle Day is... impossible to work with. (IMHO the crack ate it, so I don't need to bother with it as no one remembers it.)

And MOAR DATING. I love the seeker-verse, and I just love alison! So Yeah!

And don't mind early morning rambling; I'm doing the same thing. I'm skipping church this am and feeling slightly guilty, even though I have a good reason- allergic reaction to I think medication.

SO MUCH STORY!!!! The next chapter is all about her family (and I'm sooooo looking forward to it - OCs are dangerous). ETA: I'm even listening to Alex and Allison's song. Well the song that I always associated with the relationship, and which will turn up in the story eventually. Oh I have it BAAAAAD. /o\)

Oh dear, hope you'll feel better soon - you've had more than your fair share of illness. *sends hugs and prayers*

Awww *squishes* But really, though:



Go you and your determination to beat that thing into submission.

[elisi]

Awwwwww, thank you. Only took me 8 months, but I'm happy with it. And I went places I'd never suspected and I'm pretty chuffed. :)

As someone who has a couple WIPs that have been languishing for years, I am not one to throw stones. I am looking forward seeing how everything turns out.

Besides, with the subject matter of this one, it is understandable that it needs a little extra love and attention. AND this is an excellent excuse to go back and reread both stories so that I'm all caught up.

You're in the home stretch so way to go.

WIPs are EVIL. *nods* Although I think the most overwhelming emotion is relief... It's been hanging over me, causing me guilt.

The ending really surprised me. Well - I always had the VERY ending worked out, but it never felt ENOUGH and now there's all this STUFF which turned up, and is pretty brilliant and really adds impact to the whole thing. New beginnings and all that. :)

I've been rereading stuff too, just to remind myself... It's been a looooong time.
