Chapter 75! Thank goodness.

It's finally done, and sent off to the archives. I'm absolutely thrilled that I finally finished it. I had a really great time writing it...I was able to do a lot in this chapter that was just plain fun. I'm really wondering about the reaction, though. I hope people enjoy it.

That is, if anyone is still reading tLS! Heh.

It's the longest chapter I've ever done...6800 words, holy cow. I had to fight with it at the end, but it came out the better for it, I hope.

Wow, thank you so much! I'm so glad that the reread is going well--I really worked hard at revising the first twenty chapters to make them smoother, and I'm glad it paid off. Now if I can just get some time together to revise the next fifty-five...hee!

I love your set up SO much though.

I spent soooo damned much time in background...it's a bit excessive, really, but I wanted this to read kind of like book 6, and that's why I included Harry's POV and so much extra detail. I still haven't even approached JKR, of course, but I like to think that it's at least a bit more canon-oriented than some.

Some people won't read SS/OFC at all, and I'm so grateful that you took the time to try it. I can understand why people would want to skip the pairing...I've never really found one that just jumps out at me and makes me want to read the whole thing. At some point I always jump ship.

I've come to the conclusion that the people who read these long, epic SS/OFC fics are saints. hee!

I'm glad that the comm looks okay! Once I have more chapters uploaded I'll advertise it. I just don't want to tell people about it now, and flood their fpage with entries.

Hope you enjoy the new chapter!
