The final chapter of Carpe Draconis is done and sent off to the beta. I will post it sometime this coming week. Damn it. I think I'm going to cry. I miss writing it already! LOL The epilogue is also written so it will be posted shortly after the last Act.

Thank you to all the fans and readers of this novella. I wouldn't have been able to finish it if it weren't for your enthusiasm and love for this story and for that I thank you.

QTP Nomination! [May 17, 2007 @ 3:39pm]

aoifene
[ mood | thoughtful ]


Er I forgot to mention this to you all because I've been so busy lately (and coz I'm a forgetful twit *headdesk*) but [info]carpexdraconis was nominated for Best WIP (Yay! More incentive for it to stay a WIP! *ducks rotten apples*) over at the Quill to Parchment Awards! Yay! *squee dance* Thanks ever so much to the kind soul that nominated me! I doubt I will win since it is up against [info]sarahtales's Drop Dead Gorgeous but still it feels awesome to be nominated (and no that isn't just lip service I really really mean that! )However, it does beg the question can CD still be consider for this nomination if isn't a WIP anymore? The last act is half way done and I doubt that it would take me after June 8 (voting begins then) to finish and post the last Act. Hmm, I wonder... :)

*loves you all*

Question for CD readers! Put in your two cents! [April 14, 2007 @ 9:29pm]

aoifene
[ mood | confused ]

The first half of the last act is done and I feel like I really am at a good place to stop for now. So I am conflicted as to whether or not to post it now as Part 1 or just hold on to it and post it when the entire Act is finished. I have reasons for wanting to do both so I am stuck. I am now going to let my readers decide.

Poll #966762 The Last Act
Open to: All, detailed results viewable to: All

Should I post the first half of the last act or hold on to it?

Post it! Post it now, bitch! erm please?

WTF...Act 28?! [March 18, 2007 @ 11:28pm]

aoifene
Er yes! A few people are wondering what the hell is going on with act 28. Here's the thing. I just went back to school to get my Master's and I had to teach over Spring Break. This means my work load has just increased by the a fucking helluva lot! So I haven't the time to write it! But never fear, it is 3/4's done as I am writing it as a gift fic for the lovely [info]micolerose's 25th bday. She did love this fic ever so!

Anyway, it's coming but it's taking awhile!

*ducks rotten apples*

Sorry!

Act XXV Update [February 21, 2007 @ 2:41pm]

[ mood | accomplished ]

Okay, I can't believe it either but Act XXV is done and sent to the beta! Now I know I've said before that 25 is the last Act but well, Remus and Severus are still in Voldie's clutches and H/D hasn't even kissed! WTF right? LOL So yeah, it seems I am now shooting for Act XXX to get it all done and ooh such a sexy number! *gigglesnorts*

Also, I just have to stress that the last remaining acts will hold true to its rating so please if you're a minor don't read or don't tell me if you're one. I'd rather not know really. Another thing, if you're looking for a light, fluffy and happy story and you're still for some reason reading this series, let me tell you right now- this is not it. It will be angsty as hell and dark to boot. I am not my flist's Angst Queen for nothing. I love angst and stories that hurt. Yes, I'm twisted but I was hoping you kind of knew that already. *laughs*

That is all.

Love to all of you and thanks for putting up with me!

Aoife

ETA: Act XXV is prolly one of my favorite chapters to write and that's saying something! I also made it special because I turn 25 next Sunday! Meep! :)
