Honeytrap news

I... I think I might have finished Honeytrap edits? I still have copyedits to do, and there are usually some incidental edits as I do that, and then I need to get the proof copy and discover all five thousand typos that were somehow completely invisible on the computer screen...

So there's still quite a lot to do. But the major structural revisions are complete, almost exactly a year after I started the book.

...I am having a little trouble letting go, so I've been writing a few Honeytrap DVD extras, which I would post except alas the ones I've written so far contain spoilers for the ending. It worries me slightly that I have so much to write about what happens after the ending - have I ended the book too abruptly yet again? But, one, the book is already nearly 110,000 words long, if I add much more the paperback will be physically painful to hold, and two, whenever you end a story, there's always going to be more story after that, unless you end with "And then they died hand in hand and the gods turned them into two intertwined trees like that Greek myth."

Anyway, if there's some Honeytrap scenelet that you've always yearned to see, now is the time to ask; I'm giving myself till the end of June to write Honeytrap things. [personal profile] littlerhymes suggested Daniel and Gennady going to a pizza place for Gennady's first pizza.
