I will give you a heads up when we're ready to go.
I'm so sorry, but if it makes you feel any better, my fun-time-Buffy party night involved watching a robot throw Spike through a window, so if you want to trade... no wait, I wouldn't give up that memory for anything.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

My Big Bang story = done.
117,000 words of John-centric gen that draws on stuff we learned all the way through S6.
I'm still feeling a bit shocky that it's actually done.

Because books.
DUDE. That's quite a few thousand words longer than the book I just turned in.

I have loved the stars too fondly to be fearful of the night.
For the big bang authors on the board, how do you feel about PDF and other e-pub versions of your work? I'm reading a story now where the authors have been asked several times for a pdf and are refusing - not because they don't know how to make one but because they don't want that version of their work distributed. I'm confused as to why that is objectionable - is there some advantage to having an LJ only version of a story?

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Got that "...what do I do with all this...*time*, now?" feeling, do you? Sit by the computer and hit refresh waiting for fb, of course! Or read all the other BBs you haven't had time to more than register while your head was down concentrating on yours.
Or, take a walk, work in the garden, hit the gym, have a spa day! Congratulations on finishing and getting it posted. It's on my queue.

I think they want to have control of the text, lcat. If you make a PDF or an epub version, they can't edit that. You can take it away and it's frozen in time. Also, you can distribute it as you will.
Congrats, Anne! Whew! That's one hell of a bang!

Control of the text makes sense. As a non-writer, I think if I ever managed to do any kind of creative writing and was asked for a pdf, I'd just be chuffed that people liked my work enough to want to save it to their hard drive!

Heh. "Have a nice day."

Also lcat, some fic authors will eventually rework and propub a fic. But in order to do that there must be no previous versions of the story in existance. If someone produced a fanfic version after a story was professionally published, the author would be vulnerable to legal action by the publisher.
