Well, I dunno. It was a big accomplishment the first time around... averaging 30,000 words a month, even if it was fic, for twelve months straight says... well, something about the quality of my social life, I suspect ;-P
The edit was less hard work, then: it was very much a 'tidy-up' rather than a re-casting (Draco's entrance in the fic bothers me, still - as it progresses, his motivations become clearer, but it would've been nice to have conveyed that a little more clearly to the reader from the outset...).
For the most part, I suspect my friendslist here have either all read TTK, or else it wouldn't entirely be their cup of tea, so I didn't feel the need to pimp it 'round and about, as it were.
Yes, death and angst... I was thinking of coming up with some kind of angstometer/fluffometer gauge for the chapter headings, so that people could brace themselves for whatever was coming next...
Ah, but you'd only inflict it on the dingers. Everything else has been automated. Also, if you submit a couple of chapters, which clearly show you know what you're doing, you can be put on a "bypass" list where they just automatically upload your stuff because they know your work will always be acceptable. In which case, it wouldn't be extra work for anyone at all.
Yeah ... I think with 90 chapters, Schnoogle might be better. Let me know if/when you decide to submit it - I can have people keep an eye out for it and switch you over to "bypass".

But I'm going to email you the eBook format version, to see if that works with Stanza OK.
