It's almost like I'm an author!

Oh man guys! Look what sentra04 made:



It's Damned Demented Demons ... IN BOOK FORM.

LIke, it's actually THE SIZE OF A NOVEL...and I knew it was 100,000+ words, but for some reason actually SEEING it in bound in novel form is just astounding to me. And then I think that I wrote not one but TWO stories of that length, plus all the little individual stories and Seers, Souls, and Scotland...guys, I've basically wrote 2 novels and a book of related short-stories in 3 years.

And it has my NAME on it sort of...and and...franztastisch's lovely 'verse fan-art....and man, I am so thrilled. Let's look at it again:



You know, this makes me feel so damn accomplished, that it doesn't even matter that I don't have a job and I'm completely broke and I've been living below the poverty-line for the past four years.

sentra04 is going to make me a copy (she's also going to do Vile Violent Vacations and possibly the other stories and send me those too)...and I'm going to sit it on my shelf and when my original-fic novel is rejected by publishers, I'm going to look at it and think "Hey, at least the Supernatural Fandom loves me and thinks I write well, and they are the ONLY ONES WHO MATTER."

(It'll go on the shelf next to my Master's thesis, which is another thing that I'm quite proud of.)

(And yes, I realize that a lot of people in the Supernatural Fandom write novel-length fic/multiple novel-length fic every year....I'm just saying that MY GOODNESS WE ARE ALL AWESOME! DON'T YOU GUYS FEEL AWESOME?!)

Almost got your copy of DDD done. VVV will take a little longer - i had a lot of formatting errors and such that need to be fixed before i can print your's out.

BUT!!

DDD should be done here in a couple hours. Since it will be awhile before your copy of VVV will be ready - i was thinking about going ahead and mailing you DDD once it's done (and after my next pay check ^^;) Or would you rather wait until they're all done?

I don't mind either way

Ooo, exciting!

If you want to save yourself postage, you can wait to mail both at once. But it's up to you! Maybe it doesn't matter either way? Anyway, I will PM you my name and address. I certainly wouldn't say no to receiving a book in the mail. :)

I hope all those mistakes you found in VVV aren't because of me! :S I think VVV is my most edited story (tying with Sam Is... probably).

no no no - they're all on me right now. I haven't even gotten to stat reading mine to look for errors on your end. ^^; i pasted one of the chapter's twice - and my printer and i have been going rounds getting it printed out correctly.

Seriously - my misprint pile is now larger than the print pile ^^;

[hells-half-acre.livejournal.com]

Haha, ok, I mean, that sucks about the misprint pile :P But I'm glad that it's not like you are printing stuff and being like "wait! This is crap writing!" lol

Printers are always such little finicky frustrating things. I always find that just when I get them behaving properly and printing what I want, they promptly run out of ink. :P

[sentra04.livejournal.com]

yes! and it takes me five six pages to notice... and since they're front and back - that a huge section to go back and reprint later....

and trying to change the cartridge in the middle of a print job...

man, oh man
