Clearly, I fail at life and the internets.

or at least I fail at reuploading the re-edited first 47,000 words of the novel to FFN without mucking up the final chapter, which caused me to have to delete it and re-upload it, which causes the site to now list it as "updated" when in fact I am still only half-way through Part VIII.

I suck.

I know it's been, erm... 1.5 years-ish since the last update... but Part VII of Painted Blind is posted--and I've a GIP in honour of the occasion. Huge thanks to voleuse and allaine77 for the betas... If you haven't read it since the last chapter in July 2005, I've gone through and redited the first 6 sections, and moved some bits around. So you may want to reread the last few bits, before diving into the new section.

voleuse loves me.

I know this because she wrote me fabulous Kimber/Stormer friendship fic.

Just a little Stormer/Kimber Yuletide Treasure New Year's Resolution for sadisticferret...
