The fic that would not die

So it turned out that I was really, really unhappy with the last chapter before the epilogue of "Take Me Home." Not only that, but I was made of math fail once again, and there were only 28 chapters.

I ended up scrapping Chapter 28 anyway, and then the re-write turned into two chapters. Gah.

So after that triumphant last post in which I declared the story finished, I feel kind of stupid in declaring victory once again, but this time it's true, I swear! Not only that, but the epilogue will get posted tomorrow, so there's no chance of going back now.

Eesh.

I am Posty McPostsalot today, it seems.

So wait....what I read this morning has changed?

Nope. That's the revised version. I'm just late in posting my wibbling about the fic. :)

Does this mean that there's a chapter and an epilogue left? Also, never claim fail on providing more on a good story. Just consider it giving the readers the cupcake beaters to lick as well as the cupcakes. "Ooh, for me? You shouldn't have!"

No, there's just the epilogue left. 29 chapters + epilogue. :)

I cannot express how much love I have for your icons.

Either way, I'm still pleased. I sort of don't want it to end, but I'm just dying to find out what happens and how it wraps up.

I didn't make that one either. LOL I seem to steal all of my best icons!

I steal almost all my icons. I have no talent for them, so I take the ones I like and credit the makers.

I'm kind of sad the fic is ending too, but I have lots of other fic to write, so it's not so bad.

LOL Now are you sure it's done?

No complaints here. I've enjoyed the heck out of what I've read so far (I had a bad period of computer fail when I couldn't get your LJ to load properly. o_O?) so now I can finish it all in one shot. \o/

Weird. I had someone on FF.net who couldn't get the story to load either. There is serious communication fail with this story, it seems.

Must be the Trickster, 'cause I'm making him look bad.

I'm glad you're enjoying it! And yes, I'm sure it's done this time. ;)
