Changes....last update

[tabaqui]

Yup. You read it right. This is the last update to Changes for... Well, for a while, probably. The story is over!
I'm equal parts giddy and maudlin.
It's been a long, crazy ride - just amazing, frightening, wonderful... Changes has brought all sorts of people into my 'space' and helped me to make some wonderful friends. I don't even know where to start!

Well, i do, actually. I start with Canadian Snoopy, who has just...vanished. She got me writing again, encouraged me, and did amazing fb and beta-ing on the first half of 'Something Rich and Strange'. I would NEVER have written Changes without her, and I love her for it. Snoopy - I miss you every day - thank you, thank you, thank you.
And then Lazuli, who graciously offered up advice and space - namely Excessent and it's archive The Attic - to host Changes.
And so many others...PerfectWhorl, who fb'd and encouraged and raved and made me feel great, and kyrieane and roxymissrose and reremouse for their support and encouragement, 'dirty' beta's and super-fast fb's that told me i hadn't lost my mind and totally screwed up this or that chapter or moment or storyline. Ladies, i'm so glad to know you, and so honored to call you 'friend'! Love you all!

Now, some 'stats'. Here's the final word count.
'Something Rich and Strange': 222,872
'Hold Fast': 226,532

There are .zip files of both parts on my website, and part one is 736k, part two 792k.
Wow.

I re-formatted the page that 'Changes' lives on, so if you go there and something doesn't work, please tell me!
Now, onto the last chapter. I hope it stands up to expectations. And to everyone out there who has read this for the past year and four months... Thank you so very, very much! I am so pleased and gratified by your continued fb and support!
*If i've forgotten someone...well, whap me with a trout!*

Thank you thank you!
Ummmm... no next part. Anything that comes after this is going to be just one-offs.
Glad you enjoyed it!

Re One-offs. You think. Once the yen for writing loooong fic takes hold, it never lets go. Just a friendly warning. This has been a fine fic, with intense emotions, pain and rejoicing. And it was nice to find the Shee appearing--the Seelie and Unseelie courts. Haven't seen them in ages, in all their grim and unearthly majesty. Thank you for months and months of good reading.

Thank you so very much - i'm so glad you liked it!
