Happy Birthday Gigs! :D
Jun. 30th, 2016 10:11 pmApparently this is our ten-year anniversary of me writing birthday fic. To celebrate, let's have a short Secundus piece inspired by a comment she recently left on an earlier post:
( How Now Brown Cow )
I also bring fic updates of a different sort -- the brand-new chapter of "In The Land of the Dead!" Read your fresh-as-a-daisy Chapter 4 on FF.net, AO3, or my website! You may notice that, unlike with "Losing You," the rest of the fic on those first two sites hasn't vanished -- that's because I found a way to insert a new chapter earlier into the fic on each one that stopped me having to do that! :D AO3's was easy -- just make a new chapter, and then change the "X of X many" to the appropriate number (in my case, 4 out of 12). FF.net though -- there you have to upload the new chapter first, then click the pencil next to the chapter title, which lets you edit that -- and change the ordering, I discovered.
After I'd already uploaded the new Chapter 4 over the old Chapter 4 (now Chapter 5).
So, if you got to FF.net and head forward one, you'll discover an extra surprise -- a partially-edited Chapter 5! The version as it stood made a comprehensible chapter, so I slapped it up there so I wouldn't have to get rid of all the others. It's not complete yet (edits stop around the "Hedgehog Song" line, as is probably obvious), but hey, it'll give you an idea of how the new version of the chapter will go. :)
And that's about it for today. Work was frustrating, and I'm very glad that we're only in for a half-day tomorrow. DragonVale's latest event has started -- I haven't sworn my house allegiance yet, but I'm thinking I will tomorrow. Mainly just working on getting a good collection of rings going, and trying to breed me a Fates dragon. We'll see how it goes! For now, though, I have a few last tumblr things to take care of, and then it's off to bed. Night all!
