I just finished the last story in the Scholomance series. After seven years.

\o/

It is not getting posted right now because it awaits beta, and I think some minor tweaking of the very end, but I still had to squeak now that I'm no longer going to jinx myself. But, omg. The date on A Rare Descent is July 29, 2000. SEVEN YEARS. HA. When I say it's going to be finished, it's going to be finished, baby! *

And now I go to get book 7.





* ...possibly after everyone is dead or doesn't care anymore.

God, I betaed one of those, five hundred billion years ago. I wasn't even Eso yet! So excited you're finally finishing it (and I really ahve to reread the Weather series, which still makes me squirmy and happy to think about).

I am bravely waiting until tomorrow morning to get DH, in part because I'm not quite done rereading HBP, mostly because my ankle is still the size of a basketball and not so much with the line-standing. But damn it, I'm there in SPIRIT. I've been to midnight parties for the last three books, and not doing it for the last one seems weird and wrong.

Well I'm excited

I doubt you remember, but I wrote you once a long time ago begging you to continue the story -so thank you for doing so and I look forward to reading it!

(Now I have to reread the other parts.)

Scholomance is probably in the first ten HP fics I ever read. It predates my LJ, it predates my writing slash, it predates my daring to *speak* to anyone in fandom; I was a lurker then.

I am SO, SO happy to know I'll get to read the end of it. There are no words. Seriously.

Thank you. :-)

Eeee! I read those when they were new! Eeee! This woulda been when I was a lurker and didn't have LJ handy.

Oh, goody! I've been hoping you'd finish it someday!

I can hardly wait!

Oh, hoorah! I've actually never read this--I'm so excited! Yay!

I think my heart stopped briefly when I read this, since I was just thinking yesterday that after all these years those are still my favourite HP fics, and how sad it was the arc was never finished. omg excited YOU ARE MY HERO.

I may, just possibly, have suddenly done a dance.
Or, well, The Dance, actually.

YAY!!!!^(infinity)
OMG, I love that series, and was sooo hoping you'd finish it. I didn't want to be pushy, though, since inspiration will come when it will, but I can now tell you that I have been looking forward to this day for... hm, SEVEN YEARS! It's possible I've looked forward to this even more than DH.... :) Thank you so much for continuing this series, and I absolutely look forward to when it gets out of beta.

Oh my god. You know, those stories were how I found your fic in the first place, and it took me forever to realise that, oh, wait, that was in 02. But by then I'd found your other fic, so i pouted and moved on. Hee, this is awesome!

*gleeful sounds* I had actually forgotten that was written by you, having read it years ago before I even got this lj account. I am very much looking forward to reading it.

YAY. I think those were the stories that got me to read the books.

NOT DEAD YET.

Also not really in HP fandom any more, but for the last Scholomance story, I will make an exception.

....if you post it right now, I swear I will abandon the seventh book and read the last part instead. I think I have waited for it for atleast five years, could be more. God I cannot wait! You had me jumping across my living room. Post it post it post it!

Jesus, I remember back before HP fandom blew up--back before the books were even a phenomenon in the US--and that was about the only HP fanfic there was.

*feels old*

I had to go check that that was the one I thought it was, because, yes, seven years, but \o/ I remember when you started posting these! (…dimly.)

I don't feedback enough of your works, but I read every one that I even have an inkling about in a given fandom. I just want to say that I have loved your Scholomance Series since I discovered it probably five or six years ago. I am so happy that it's finished, and I'm going to go save it so I can read the whole thing later tonight. Thank you!

From: [identity profile] shinra-lackey.livejournal.com
Oops, and I just realized that the last two stories were still in beta. That's what I get for reading too quickly when I'm excited. At least this will give me a chance to reread the first four parts, so yay!

Um, hi? Just a lurker here..:D

The Scholomance series has been torturing me in a good way since forever.
Thanks ever so much for finishing it.:D

Oh man. I remember when you were posting stories to hpslash. I think I even remember writing you with encouragement (having this vague feeling that "maybe she doesn't have anyone really telling her how much they like her fic." Shows what I knew!) In any case, I totally *have* been waiting patiently (7 years whoa) for that story to be finished. :D
