"You update once every 6 months? Wow you certainly are the biggest fail on this site."
*giggles hysterically* Oh, honey, that's just the average, it's much, much worse than that. As for being the biggest fail on ffn--I can't even take that seriously, I just start giggling again when I try.
To the rest of my first night's reviewers--thanks so much, as always, for your support and persistence *grin* I know I'm a pain in the ass, and I truly appreciate your perseverance in never giving up on me. I'll try to do better with the next one. You guys made me smile when I got up this morning. Off to work with me now! |

| A bit of outside PoV on current Catechism events |
[Nov. 6th, 2009|12:55 am] |
So I've been trying to figure out what comes next in Cat and finally realized that a good part of the problem is that next Harry wakes up. And many people know a good deal more than they did before, and their reactions and behaviors with the new knowledge is hard to come up with. So I finally decided I needed to do some outside PoV stuff while he's unconscious to let me see what's going through their heads and what they decide to do. This isn't going to be part of the final story, but I thought folks might be interested nonetheless.
Also, for NaNo this year, I decided to continue existing works--that doesn't necessarily mean Cat, but so far it mostly has been. No promises, but it should have at least a decent chunk of my attention for the month. Thus far, there's about 7000 new words between the next chapter and of outside-PoV stuff thus far--so hopefully it will continue to expand rapidly, at least for the month. I'm not editing yet, just writing, but will periodically post here. Which will, as said, be largely unedited. Don't expect it to be pretty, and nothing's written in stone. I reserve the right to change my mind. That said, read, enjoy, feel free to provide feedback. Although not about typos and whatnot at this time, please. They're bound to be in there, but at this point in time I don't care. At all.
( So, without further ado... ) |

| Hey guys |

There's been a steady trickle of response lately, which I apologize for not answering individually, but I wanted to at least give a post letting everyone know that I was still out there and even still writing. Even still writing Cat, for that matter, albeit sporadically. Currently Chapter 14 is about 1/4 of it's probable eventual length, which is not to say that it will take another three years to complete...
At any rate, a snippet in thanks to those of you who continue to follow the story and show interest, and do know that I have been actively working on it lately (trading off with Carving, for those who follow that, and an orig fic), and it is coming. Slowly:p
( Snip... )
Just a taste and I'll make every attempt to get a full chapter up within the next month or so.

| Confusion about Chapter Thirteen |
[Feb. 13th, 2008|05:48 pm] |
So, apparently chapter thirteen was far more confusing than I realized writing it. I'll give it a read-through to see if I can't figure out a way to make it clearer, but since Harry doesn't really know what happened (until Vernon explains later)... well, at any rate, I'll take a look at some point. But any way what happened was:
He was in a potions accident that made him hear magic.
Hogwarts had a lot of magic.
Harry was driven unconscious by the sheer pain of the noise of all the magic around him.
Using magic to try to fix it made it worse.
They sent him to the one nearly-non-magical place they could think of--back home. He'd been commenting on being homesick anyway.
He woke up already home with only a faint ringing that signified the wards.
He did home-stuff.
Dudley has been meeting new people and connecting in different ways while Harry's been at school, and was finally seeing how his family treated Harry rather than just accepting it.
As for the end, well, I guess that bit can stay unclear for now and become more clear in the next chapter. Though several people thought that might be the end of the story (Harry died. The end. *giggle*) No. He's not dead.
Hope that clears things up a bit.

| Catechism, Chapter Thirteen: Home Again |
[Jan. 6th, 2008|04:50 pm] |
Thanks: To several of the members of catechismplans (in alphabetical order): amanitajade, Caroline, Laura Peregrine, jaymalea, lauren, margot, Molly Morrison, nicole, Rose, Thursday, and Toastie for their invaluable assistance in helping me get my head around how to make this chapter do everything I wanted it to without it being completely unrealistic. Of them, an especially big thanks to Thursday, for coming up with paint and margot, who fleshed out Clarence. The coach was an amalgam from several suggestions, but it was Laura Peregrine who first put me onto the coach as opposed to teacher idea--thanks! More thanks will be going out when I get to chapters where they helped me with other bits;) And if I missed anyone, my apologies. I know you guys probably thought you and the story both had been abandoned. You weren't. Here's proof. This one's for you guys!
Chapter Thirteen up at ffn: http://www.fanfiction.net/s/2006636/13/Catechism (though technically it's still at the point where it's saying it'll be up within 15 minutes. If you're not a fan of ffn, you can also read it ( here and now. )
Albeit in two posts. Because it's too big:p part two. |

| Varieties of Undeath notification |
[Dec. 1st, 2006|09:10 pm] |
Hey guys,
Just wanted to let you know: If anyone is at any point looking for my BtVS/SERRAted Edge story, Varieties of Undeath, grab it on FFN within the next week or so. http://www.fanfiction.net/s/2629658/1/ Apparently Mercedes Lackey has a fanfiction policy that pretty much makes it not okay to even talk about her characters with your friends, so TTH requested that all stories including her stuff be removed. I obey and shall wait for a little while and then remove it from FFN as well.
I've lost a good deal of respect for Ms. Lackey over it (I think the policy both arrogant and paranoid, an unattractive combination), but it's her stuff and if she wants to take people's interest in the characters as theft and debasement rather than flattery and compliments, so be it.

| Chapter Twelve Typos |
[Jun. 29th, 2006|07:32 am] |
Okay, I always miss a bit here and there, but this is positively embarassing. I should have edited more before posting, clearly, but probably the same exhaustion that was making me overlook millions of stupid mistakes was probably also making me make stupid decisions-- my excuse is that it was the end of a couple 12-hour shifts, and, as I said, I was not thinking well.
My thanks to Cherry for pointing out typos-- they've been corrected.
