SUCCESS!!!

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 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 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*

Excellent! Congratulations, you can be proud of yourself for finishing it!

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.

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

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

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.

Interesting enough to actually read it? *g*

[espresso-addict.livejournal.com]

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...

[wiseheart.livejournal.com]

Well, I would be hurt if you didn't. *g*

[third-charm.livejournal.com]

Well done!

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