fans of Borderlines

( my very late feedback was too long for a comment or even two, so it's below the cut )

I have just spent about a bizillion hours dithering with code, and I'm still not happy with how it looks, but I really must go to sleep now.

And so, I'm pleased to offer for your reading pleasure Borderlines 26. It's been a long time coming, I know, but as I get closer to the end, it can be tricky.

This chapter is especially dedicated to hanarobi, who is helping me to see this through and not letting me drop the ball. Mwah!


Apologies to some of you for the multiple post.

For vshendria

and all the fans of Borderlines

My gift to all:

And I thank vshendria for writing this wonderful, beautiful story, her beta(s), those who have made all those lovely banners, manips and icons for us to drool over and last but not least to all fans of Borderlines, your posts and comments have been a joy to read.

I started reading Brorderlines last week...
I am on episode 20...I just cannot quit reading this...
So very involved and very well written...
If postings of this nature are not appropriate I will gladly take it down...
I just wanted to share with everyone here just to say how much I enjoy this story,
The olny way that I know how...

( My Gift to vshendria )

Thank you vshendria for the most wonderful story...

Yup, it's a new chapter of Borderlines. Getcher Cake here!

Superduper thanks to Hanarobi for kicking my ass right when I needed it. And thanks for being patient, folks.

I'm really looking forward to your feedback (hint, hint)

I just wanted to post a mention that the latest episode of Borderlines is back at Oscillating, and will probably be taken down from its temporary address in the near future.

Again, very much thanks to Bunnie and Alchemilla.

The chapter is here, for anyone who wishes to click.

If you happen to be on my flist, I apologize for the word for word repetition here...

This Borderlines update is brought to you by Bunnie, Alchemilla_, and of course, Hanarobi. And the letter 'C'.

It appears that we Oscillating hostees have run rampant with Hope's bandwidth this month (very sorry, Hope!), which means that I am unable to post the new episode there until Friday. However, Bunnie volunteered to play temporary hostess until then. With Alch's approval, Episode 22 will be living temporarily at this address. Many cheers for Bunnie and Alch!

I cannot praise Hanarobi enough for her contributions. "Thank you" just never seems adequate but it's all I have. Thank you, Hanarobi. I heard a rumour that it was beta-appreciation month, at least for twenty-four or so more hours, and just have to say I do so very appreciate my beta, who is patient and tolerant but also busts my ass when necessary.

Just a note: As of Saturday, I will be on the road. I'm going to Austin to search for an apartment, then on to visit with Hanarobi and Princess of Geekland! Much excitement! But if I don't respond to a comment, that's probably why. I'm going to try to find an Internet cafe en route and sneak a peak, though!

Enjoy, everyone!

She may kill me for doing this, but...

Thursday, June 30th is our beloved and much treasured Vshendria's birthday!

Happy Birthday! We love you!

I want to thank you, hanarobi for your beta work. You were the very first author that I fangirled. I didn’t know about fb back then, so I didn’t get to thank you and tell how you made me laugh and cry and love the boys even more.

I just love that you are the one beta’ing this.

I imagine it is a lot of work, as each chapter is so in-depth and this story has been going on for quite a while. But I also imagine you are as wrapped up in it as we all are. I hope this story goes on for years and years, I love it so much. Thanks for your contributions and hard work!

i'm sorry to those who saw this update and thought it was actually chapter 22. i know tha happened to at least someone!

With vshendria's permission, I penned a series of eight consecutive pieces of 100 words each, focusing on Roy and Casey's relationship; adding a few kinks of my own to the mix.

vshendria's feedback has overwhelmed me, and with her approval I'm posting the link to my writing here.

hi there. i am new here. i just started reading this story a week or so ago and just got all caught up. i wanted to wait until the end to leave feedback, but now am contrite as i am quite overwhelmed here. but i will try and leave feedback that shows you how much i love it and that satisfies my need to share. it will be haphazard; i have a cold and am a bit out of it, but I don’t want to keep putting it off.

i am so blown away by this epic. god it is so good and i can't stop thinking about it. i cried throughout the story, but over chapter twenty i used up a whole tissue box. and it wasn't just tears it was real heartache.

your characters are so true to life and multi-layered, lovable and hate-able. I have had experiences that mirror so much of the story (which is what often is the case between story and reader when the story is well written). You really have done your research. It is written with intelligence and insight and is always interesting and enlightening or comforting in a weird sort of I know this sort of way.

( On to more specific feedback [*spoilers*] )

Casey and Zeke are back for another 80 pages!
Get it hot

This is a mass response to the folks who commented on my post yesterday --- I hope this is not bad LJ etiquette! With all my heart I thank you for writing to encourage me and for all your wonderful compliments and for sticking with the story.

Um...so, Chapter 20. I'm working on it steadily, like every night. About half of it is beta-able. Maybe not quite half because the second half is probably going to expand as I go and turn out to be three quarters. In other words,I'm zeroing in on it but I can't make any real promises as to when it will be posted. I think two weeks is not out of the realm of possibility.

I fear that as I get towards the end of the story, or at least the end of this section of it, the timelines are going to be longish --- not scary long, like several months! But two months may be the norm (ha ha, like it hasn't been taking two months for every chapter for the last year).

You wanna hear something scary? I've now been working on this story for over TWO YEARS.
