Re: Status and Support
I didn't think you were, Linda, but I am conscious of having left a bunch of stuff unread and unreviewed lately and your most recent story is on that list. I have a long to-do list in regard to fanfic. I just don't know when I can get to it.
OMG, ANOTHER new chapter! NORTH STAR Chapter 28

LOL, I am trying to catch up too. I have four laundry baskets full of pears picked last weekend that have to be canned or given to a food pantry before they rot. Harvest was late but overwhelming. At least fan fiction does not rot if you don't get to it fast.
Working on a major fan fic project. Two-thirds done. Hope to put it up in the not TOO distant future.

Yes, thank God. I'm in a similar situation with tomatoes. I keep tossing them into the trash as they develop nastiness. I should just freeze them all now and deal with them later in the winter. I would if I had enough room in the freezer...

Re: Status and Support
I know that guilty feeling. I've got a browser window full of important TnT stories from TS and fanfiction.net that I want to comment on, but I never seem to get the time to do them justice. And I've got a dozen works in progress of my own that don't seem to be any further forward than they were this time last year.
I think I need an eight-day week. Surely that would be enough.

I'm afraid I'm another one who has to hold their hand up to not reading or reviewing much lately (for which I apologise.) I've been really taken up with writing and re-writing my own novel, and now it's finally finished hopefully I'll be able to get back to the SF side of my life.
I really am grateful to those people who've taken the time to leave reviews on my stories, and I know I have a duty to spread the gladness - all I need is a few more hours in the day!

Re: Status and Support
I try to do my share of reading and commenting but I find I often fall behind. But one good thing about my trying to leave a comment on every fan fiction story I read is that I can check to see if I have already read a story and up to what chapter, by checking to see if I already left a comment. It is kind of like leaving a book mark in place.

Re: Status and Support
I submitted the first three chapters to a literary agency last weekend. Now begins the agonising business of waiting for a response - wish me luck!

Good luck!
I wonder if it's easier in the UK? You can't have as many agencies as we do. (Some fly-by-night ... we need Preditors and Editors to keep track of the fraudsters.)

Good luck with your novel! Waiting to hear must be stressful. I hope you hear soon!

Re: Status and Support
My book is currently being read by a new agent (at an established agency) that I just stumbled across on twitter. She was actively looking for women's fiction/literary fiction and I thought, what the hell, why not? The book looks good on Amazon with 81 reviews, but actual paid sales are quite pathetic, so I wouldn't mind getting a real publisher and actually getting into bookstores. Of course, the same thing could happen then, but if I got a decent advance first I wouldn't mind as much.
My little play won third place. The producer wants me to go in Tuesday. I'm hoping it's to hand over a check rather than to chastise me for something else I did wrong. Apparently there are a lot of unspoken rules in the theater world, or at least at that place, and I broke at least one of them (I showed up at an early rehearsal, and changed a line in the script that wasn't working. Oh the horror!)
And ... I finished the midterm grades for my four classes a full hour before they were due.
It's been crazy.

Re: Status and Support
Hope that new agent works out, Alelou.
I finally making some progress with this new chapter of World of Ice. I think I deleted more scenes and rewrote them in this chapter than I ever had before. Or I don't remember as such. I think the problem was I had an idea of what I was trying to show, but no scene in my head like I mostly have. The scenes I thought are going to be difficult were easy to write, because I had a clear image of them in my mind. What also didn't help was the fact I was annoyed by my level of English. At one point I thought I better start writing in Vulcan! Any way, two more scenes to write before this task is done.

This is what is called a good new one.
Well yes. I continue to write. And on Fanfiction.Net, for those who want, it is possible to cast a glance at my latest efforts. We arrived to
The Ears of the Elves, chapter Forty-four
And here is the beginning of the whole story.
But, I must say, you could also find something else on Fanfiction.net written by me. If you want.

Re: Status and Support
Right now I actually have two multi-chapter stories in process at the same time. This is daring for me as I don't like to start putting up stories that I have not completed writing; it makes me very nervous. How do other people handle this? I even got an email from a reader which was kind of a poke for me 'to get on with it' and post the next chapter of one of the stories. I guess that is the difference between a fan writer and a professional writer, LOL - sticking to schedules so readers don't get bored with waiting.
