People, I've actually finished "Turn Left - The Veteran's House"!

No, really, I have!

It ended up with 11 chapters altogether, including the Epilogue, 9 of which have already beta read by the wonderful and generous [livejournal.com profile] lindahoyland, the noblest lady of the British Isles and a great benefactor of cats and non-native English speaker authors.

I'm planning on resting on my laurels for a day or two, and then I'll start posting the story to FF.Net, AO3 and [livejournal.com profile] hiddenrealms, simultaneously. A chapter, max. two a week will be fast enough, I think.

Just a reminder: this is the Sherlock AU based on an online game, in which John doesn't run into Mike Stamford at the beginning of the tale. Instead, he goes into a little village to try fixing a half-ruined house he'd inherited from a distant uncle years previously. But, as Miss Marple would tell us, you can find the most shocking things in a little English village. Including dubious archaeologists, construction workers that look like South American drug barons and zombies. *evil cackle*

Actually, I am - immodest though it might seem. ;)

Congratulations!

That's very sweet of you to say.

I'm up to my ears with BTMEM at present, so might be April before I get round to editing, but have your chapters safe.

That's quite all right. You've dug through 9 chapters already, those will keep me covered for 5 weeks, at the very last - longer if I only post one chapter a week. The important part is that I'm done, and it happened fairly quickly, considering how long it usually takes me to finish something.

Kudos! Sounds like an interesting AU premise, and I love your summary.

I don't tend to read on ff.net, but when you've uploaded it to ao3 I'd be tempted to give it a whirl...

Thank you, I'm immensely relieved.
I've just posted the first chapter to [livejournal.com profile] hiddenrealms and to the Pit of Voles.
