Well... This is the end of Neo's Time. I had a great time writing it for NaNoWriMo back in 2015 and a pretty okay time editing it these past three months. I'll admit, the editing was a much more challenging undertaking than I anticipated. Originally, I thought my first draft was pretty solid, but then I really read it and started breaking it down by chapter and individual sentences... It needed some work! Some of the chapters took 3+ hours of work to edit, others were a bit simpler. In the end, I know I'll read this again somewhere down the line and wish I had done something (or a fair number of things) differently. I hope to finish writing my original novel from NaNoWriMo 2016 in the coming months then return to fan fiction before circling back and editing that NaNo piece. Currently, I have about 11,000 words written in a Velvet-centric fan fiction that I began early last year ~ I'd like to finish that and start editing and posting it within the next few months. So, if you're interested in seeing an interpretation of Velvet, follow me as an author on here so you get a notification when I finally get around to posting that! Thanks to all of you who have taken the time to offer like, favorite, review, or email me your comments ~ between here and Archive of Our Own, I honestly thought this story would garner maybe 20 views total. But, there have been so many more of you that were willing to give this a shot. Thank you for dealing with my sometimes poor updating schedule and whatever liberties I took with the source material in the pursuit of telling a story of two young women, both broken in many ways by the circumstances of their upbringing, coming together and finding redemption and hope. Finally, thank you again! I honestly hope you found this little story to be worth your time and that it provided some entertainment over these past three months or so. Best,
