I win my NaNo. *grins* Unfortunately, this STILL doesn't mean I've finished chapter 14. But I'm still planning to finish the story -- preferably before too long; I want to get it archived, and while I am not really very fussy about this sort of thing in general, I think this one I really need to finish first.

Now why do I have stage fright?

Glad to hear it - I was wondering if you were only writing so much, so fast for the competition; I know I'm not that quick for any other reason.

Anyway, congratulations! Lovely award-picture-thing you have there.

Thanks. :) I was definitely hurrying for the sake of the competition -- and as I'm still trying to make chapter 14 fit for public consumption, that's also why I went skipping ahead to various interesting scenes that will probably change drastically before anybody else ever sees them. *g*

There's certainly something to be said for the "get on with it" approach, though.

Hurray!

Woo-hoo! I'm excited to see how this story ends... and once you do get it archived, it'll probably go up on my Favorite Fics page.

You know, I wrote part of the final confrontation with Voldemort when I was skipping around.... but I'm not sure if that's quite how it's going to go yet. And, as always, needs context!

And a tying-in of more plot threads than I have yet woven in. I suspect that I will not, in the end, have done justice to the mystery-novel aspect of JKR's writing, but there's a reason for the title... it's partly a reminder that JKR will write something better than this when she gets to it. ;)

I wonder if I could manage to finish off Voldie in chapter 49?

...And also, the important sentiment I neglected: Thank you!

Congratulations! :^) Will you still be posting chapters in your journal as they become ready for public consumption?

Thank you!

And oh, yes! The encouragement is addictive, and people have made some very helpful comments both in terms of getting me to clarify what I'm talking about (such as not having the Weasleys' grass strewn with zucchini, even if it was really funny, and the fact that I do know a Nundu is not a shiny snake) and inspiring a new subplot that answers a very important question.

The only reason I stopped posting progress from the past few days is that I sort of bogged down in chapter 14 and realized I was only going to "win" if I plunged ahead into whatever interesting imagery struck my fancy.

...Oh, right, the stage fright. Still there, but not too debilitating. ;)

Congrats! :D I'm stuck on 22000 words - hoping to do a little better next year.

Thanks! I hope your 22K is something you're pleased with, anyway -- that's still quite a bit.

Next year, I hope to get started faster. I hit 22000 myself on November 24.

Well, I'm really enjoying the story, and have been reading it when I should be studying! Great job! I've never read a story with the Founders in it before, and I'm really enjoying your characterization of them and your twist on Slytherin. I think I saw in your comments somewhere that you have other Founders stories. Where are they archived? I'd like to check them out!

Wow, thank you! *sorts through links* (I gotta get everything updated consistently...)

http://www.sugarquill.net/index.php?action=profile&id=479 -- "The Cat, Bagged" and "Fragments of the Foundation" are Founderfics cowritten with [livejournal.com profile] rexlapinii. They are not related.

http://www.sugarquill.net/index.php?action=profile&id=842 -- cowrites with [livejournal.com profile] dreagoddess. "Ivory Tower" and "Swamprat" are supposed to be in the same universe, although we haven't put the two groups together yet. "Moon and Stone" (scroll allll the way down) is about all four Founders and sort of long.

http://www.thedarkarts.org/authorLinks/Persephone_Kore/ -- the two Aintzane stories and "Dragon's Den."

If I may, allow me also to recommend stories I did not write:

http://www.sugarquill.net/index.php?action=profile&id=490 -- The Thinking Cap and sequels (most recent updates at SQ are at the top) are brilliant.

http://www.sugarquill.net/index.php?action=profile&id=299 -- "Balance" is not exactly a Founderfic (then again, neither is SBTT going to be mostly), but I love that set. Three-legged cow indeed!

http://www.sugarquill.net/index.php?action=profile&id=540 -- "Forget Me Not" hurts so much, but in a perfect way. "Those Left Behind" is a resolving sort of sequel to it.

http://www.thedarkarts.org/authorLinks/Starzie/ -- "The Bloody Baron" contains a version that is obviously not how I generally see the Founders, but it's brilliant work.

Of course, there are more, but those were the first to come to mind.

Ooh, thanks for all the links! I'll have plenty to read over Christmas break. :-)
