Chapter 72 uploaded!

[valis2]

The Last Sanguimagus has been updated, again!

I'm so excited to hear the opinions on this chapter. It is really one of the most intense things I've ever written. I've revised it more than I normally do, and poor mariannelee had to see it three times.

It's here on fanfictionnet if you want to read it right now. It will be up at the other archives in a few days.

I am glowing, honestly.

Huh? How weird! I c&p the link from the email, and tested it twice, and it seems to work.

I even tried it from the entry.

*boggles*

[ac1d6urn.livejournal.com]

Hmm, weird. It started working after I visited your userpage and tried loading initial chapter.

[valis2.livejournal.com]

Very odd!

And now I'm a little confused. Are you reading it? If you are, I had no idea!

[ac1d6urn.livejournal.com]

*grin* Err, not from the beginning. But you mentioned the 'intense' and I got too curious for my own good.

[valis2.livejournal.com]

Ah! *laughs*

I hope it makes sense, at the very least. *grins* It isn't the normal narrative flow because the character is telling the story, so don't hold it against me... ;)

[ac1d6urn.livejournal.com]

*blush* I usually read the book endings before I read the rest. Horrible habit, I know.

[valis2.livejournal.com]

Hee! Everybody else following the story has waited for the backstory for over a year...too funny!

[valis2.livejournal.com]

Let me know if it works for you now. I repasted it.

[ac1d6urn.livejournal.com]

Interesting. Works in Opera now that I've visited your user profile. Doesn't work in IE since I haven't done that in Internet Explorer yet. Wonder if the server itself is using cookie tracking to prevent direct links. In any case, most of your readers probably won't have that problem since they loaded TLS chapters in the past.

Browsers can be such a mystery sometimes.

I use Firefox and installed a NoScript extension recently that blocks javascript. Now I have to click to allow it at every site.

It's worth it, though. Sometimes I travel to horrible free websites, hunting for fic, and it does really seem to block a lot of the ebil things.

[ac1d6urn.livejournal.com]

Heh. Good idea. *tests with firefox* Same thing. Errors out until I load your user profile directly. Hmm. Probably some server setting. In any case, it looks like false alarm. Thanks for checking the link for me though. Eeep. *stops the OT spam*

Intense, indeed! Wow. Sarah is a better match for Severus even than I had realized, in terms of being able to understand (and be understood). And Severus realizing she'd loved Erich? Ouch.

*jumps for joy*

I always thought that her backstory was so intense that I had to hold off on sharing it too early, for fear of going "over-the-top". I was so afraid that this would be a jumping-the-shark moment for readers, so I had to do it just right.

Got to read this one right away! Don't want to spoiler it, but it's brilliant!
*end silly fangirl mode*

Really beautiful detail (in a creepy sort of way). Ch 73 will be the Rest of The Story, right? Left a proper review at ff dot hell. Squee.

Aww! *dances*

You are so sweet. I look forward to your reviews, always, they're so thoughtful and interesting!

[snegurochka_lee]

I admit I haven't read this, mostly because I suck, but I wanted to tell you that every time I see the title I get a little happy feeling inside. It's just, like, the best title ever. And I don't even know what it means. :)

*promises to read it*

[valis2.livejournal.com]

hee!

Y'know, I always think the the title scares people off. It's so nice to hear someone say they actually like it.

It was originally supposed to be called something else entirely, but there is a very well-known fic that had just come out at the same time by that name, so at the last minute I had to change it.

[dark-cygnet.livejournal.com]

Just read the chapter. WOW Valis. This is incredible and the mood you invoked with your words. fantastic job, can't wait to see the rest!

[valis2.livejournal.com]

Oh, thank you so very much!!! *dances in joy* You are so sweet!

*lionsmooches*

[snapesforte.livejournal.com]

Aargh! Where did it go? Fanfiction net has stolen it!

[valis2.livejournal.com]

Wah! What is going on with ffnet?!

It seems to be working for me, but ac1d6urn had a problem, too.

Let me know if you can read it now. If you can't, I'll send you a Word file.

[snapesforte.livejournal.com]

*sneers at fanficiton net*

If you don't mind sending a Word doc, I's appreciate it. I still haven't learnt what the word 'patience' means.

Oh, hey, it's already up at Occlumency!

Right here (http://occlumency.sycophanthex.com/viewuser.php?uid=179)

Heh...no one is reviewing...I think that everybody thinks that this is still the update for 71.

Makes sense, given my slow track record as of late...
