You are too kind. I can still see many of the flaws in it, but I'm thrilled to bits that it did so well. Especially since it's so bloody long!!

Glad that you participated as well; it's always a privilege to beta for you. I think my catharsis for the angst is now writing Slave Breakers, though I'm about to write angsty SB. *g* Then back to the Elves. And Wraeththu. So many fandoms...
