I have now received my first bad review for In the Family Way on Wraithbait. And when I say "bad," I don't mean criticism for a particular scene or aspect of the story because I've received that already. No, I'm talking about a review in which the reader pretty much trashed the whole fic and found very little that she liked about it. ( Well, they say honesty is the best policy! )

For anyone who might be interested, there is now a reader friendly version of In the Family Way available here. In case you're wondering, it's "reader friendly" because it has been broken down into four parts as opposed to, uh, eighteen. Unfortunately, the bad cover art by yours truly takes a bit away from the friendliness, but it's easy enough to scroll past that. *g*

I'm still in a state of total disbelief, but it appears that I've finally finished the last installment of In the Family Way. It's hopelessly rough and I still have to finish typing the remainder of my hand-written draft, but I'm hoping to get through the revision process in the next few days and then post it.

Yes, I do realize that there's only three or four people who are likely to read this, but I seriously don't care. All that matters is that it's done. It's taken more than three years, but the behemoth is complete at last.

Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah-hallelujah! Hal-le-eh-lu-jah!

I know this isn't going to mean much to anyone who isn't me, but I'm thrilled to announce that In the Family Way has inspired vonnix to create an icon using one of Andrew's lines from the story! As this is the first (and probably only) piece of fan art this fic has spawned, I just had to share it:



Tee hee hee! Thanks, vonnix! You ROCK! :-D
