Update on all things written

loaded_marchIt's come to my attention, mostly through sheer dumb luck, that I haven't posted an update of any kind in a while. Why didn't anyone tell me?
My absence from LJ can be traced back to a number of reasons, not excluding, sorry, too lazy and yeah, in a minute. Mostly, though, I've been in a low-simmering HULK SMASH anger setting that is in no way conductive to posting anything other than work-related rants, but no one wants to hear those.
Since this is an update on things written, such an update it will be, hereto:
1) My RVBB submission is completed, right down to a rigorous beta, and I can't wait for everyone to see the gorgeous artwork that I managed to snag. I don't have a posting date yet -- they haven't been announced.
2) On the tail-end of getting my RVBB through the edits, I received another round of edits to go through -- the ones for LM15. More on that later. I took a break, though, because I hate editing with the fiery heat of a thousand burning suns, and I wanted to avoid the whole rage!delete that would happen if I didn't take a mental health day (or several).
3) In-between waiting for my beta from RVBB to come in and in pockets of time in-between, I wrote and finished LM-Epilogue. Finished, however, is a very loose definition, because I know I left some parts marked with WRITE THIS LATER. But once those are done, I will be sending it to the same person who betaed LM15.
4) You won't be getting any more information on the Epilogue other than it's mostly finished and destined for the beta, but I will tell you that I plan on posting it shortly after LM15 so there won't be a lot of waiting in-between (not like what happened after LM14 and before LM15. Yikes).
5) My next writing project after this is for![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
merlin_horror. I have, I think, 5,000 words for it, but it's not working, so those are probably bound for the Trash, and I'll be rewriting from scratch.
Anyway, the nitty-gritty for LM15 is this:
I didn't go through Draft Zero before sending it to the kind soul who volunteered to rake it with a fine-tooth comb, and although I'm impressed with the number of things that have been caught so far (I have only gone through two chapters), I'll be going through it again before I post. Based on how long it took me to go through two chapters of my beta's comments, I can guesstimate that I'll be finished those edits by the end of the week.
But don't get your hopes up. I still have to go through it again. It's 10 chapters at roughly 20,000 words each. I don't know how long that's going to take me. I am shooting for mid-to-late August, but don't quote me on that.
