COMPLETE

[starfishstar]

Remember that enormous, epic Remus/Tonks story I started writing, oh, nearly six years ago now?

I just posted the final chapter.

Of course, somehow, inevitably, the way the timing of it worked out left me scrambling to revise and post the final chapter of the story while also preparing to leave for an entire summer of travel in less than three days from now.

I got the story done; presumably I will also manage to get myself onto the plane and to Europe. Very soon, I'm sure I'm going to feel very, very accomplished.

Right now, though, I mostly just feel utterly zonked, and I want to go to bed. So I'm going to do that.

More thoughts soon!

How does it feel to complete such a massive project? Overwhelming, I suppose? Surreal?

Well done, you! :D

[starfishstar]

Hi, thank you! (Sorry for the delay, I'm only now finally more or less settled in back in Berlin and able to catch my breath again...)

You know, I've been on the move so much, I'm still not sure how it feels! Definitely a little bit cut adrift, like, wait, what do I actually focus on if not this project that's been demanding my attention for so long...?

[rs_collab_mods]

no worries! :D what will you be doing this summer? :)

:DDD you know, the obvious answer to that would be...the NEXT big project!! :D

ETA: this is nerak_rose - i forgot to log out of this account...

I'll be hanging out in Berlin catching up with friends, then traveling a bit then GOING TO ICELAND TO FINALLY TAKE A LANGUAGE COURSE AND THEN ALSO HELP ORGANIZE A MUSIC FESTIVAL!!! This has been my dream summer for a really long time. :-) (I'm right now sitting here trying to figure out accommodation for during the language course...am I nuts to think I could camp for the whole three weeks and still manage to be presentable enough for the attending the course and everything?)

And yeah, I've been wondering what my next big writing project should be! Actually going to post about that soon. :-)

But first...time to watch Iceland in the Euro Cup, because if I have to cheer for somebody, it's gonna have to be them. (Supporting Germany is pretty boring, especially if you're IN Germany...) Áfram Ísland!

[nerakrose]

omg that sounds like so much fun!! which music festival is it??
(you're not nuts and tbh you could probably do it. it's the cheapest type of accommodation really, and hotels book fast (and are expensive) because of the high demand. i'm not so sure about your valuables though - where in the country would you be staying?

haha! i haven't been paying attention to the Euro Cup. i don't care that much about football, and i'm not patriotic enough to care if Iceland wins... it would be really cool if they did, though!

[starfishstar]

It's called Melodica, a small acoustic music festival, and I'm friends with the folks who run it... I actually helped out with the organizing a bit last time I was in Iceland, but had to leave before the festival itself happened, so I've been dreaming about going back for it again!

I think I really probably will camp - I still have my tent & camping gear from last time I was in Iceland! The course is in Ísafjörður, which of course is tiny tiny, but every Icelandic village I've ever been to had a little campground somewhere downtown, so, hopefully this'll be the same.

And oh, yes, believe me, I'm the very opposite of patriotic, and I care zero about football... But in Germany you're so surrounded by it, I felt like I had to either spend the next weeks being annoyed about it, or pick a team to be mildly excited about! Iceland is at that lucky confluence of being a place I like a whole lot, and also not such a superpowered team that it's practically boring to root for them, like Germany... I really want Iceland to make it into the next round, so I can have something to be excited about for a little longer!

Congratulations on finishing! Oh that must be such a bittersweet moment. I hope you got all the sleep and that the last-minute things will all go well, and you get onto that plane! :)

[starfishstar]

Thank you! It's definitely an exciting moment, and also somehow strange.

But I made the plane and all is well. :-)

Congratulations on finishing such a big project and I hope you have a fantastic holiday !

[starfishstar]

Thank you on both counts!

[gracerene]

Congrats!!

And OMG have so much fun on your travels!

[starfishstar]

Thank you! And yes, it's going to be an epic summer. :-)

Hello! I've been cut off from the internet world for so long. I'm looking forward to reading the updated chapters! Thank you for writing and contributing to the Remus/Tonks ship. With our pens, we make them alive.

Anyway, I'm very happy for you on your completion of this very long story. It must be very fulfilling. =)

[starfishstar]

Aw, thank you, I appreciate the congratulations! It really was *such* a long project, and *such* a big deal to finally finish it!
