Written for WriterCon UK and inspired by a lovely banner done by teragramm, which I will put up if I can figure out how. lol
Much needed beta help from rahirah, Eowyn, Always_jbj and Just Sue
2. Two by Slaymesoftly [Reviews - 5] (3316 words)
To catch this site up with my LJ and other site, I'm posting both chapters. Future updates will be on an every-other-day schedule,beginning tomorrow.
3. Three by Slaymesoftly [Reviews - 3] (3280 words)
For anyone who missed my beta thank yous - the thankees are rahirah, Eowyn, Always_jbj and Just Sue. Some gave plot and idea assistance, acting as sounding boards while I tried to figure out in which direction I wanted to take it, and others are polishing up my text. Any mistakes are undoubtedly the result of my compulsive tinkering after i get my chapters back. :)
4. Four by Slaymesoftly [Reviews - 5] (4330 words)
Any mistakes are the result of my constant fiddling and shouldn't be blamed on my wonderful betas: Always_jbj and Just Sue. :)

Sorry for the delay posting, the site was all wonky and then I got busy and forgot that I hadn't updated on here when I did everywhere else.
6. Six by Slaymesoftly [Reviews - 4] (2464 words)
A reminder that a lack of mistakes indicates the sharp eyes of Always_jbj and Just Sue, and a plethora of them indicates my inability to keep my hands off it after they've finished. And, that thanks also go to the members of the Redemptionista Writers Group and to Eowyn_315 who act as sounding boards while I flail around to find the direction for this fic.

I'm adjusting the posting schedule from every other day to every third day. Just in case. The next three chapters are written and beta'd, but I don't want to lose my cushion in case I don't get to write as much as I'd like the rest of the week.
