First, the good news.

The good news is that, at around 11 last night, I finished Nights of Gethsemane. Well, okay, I didn't technically finish it. I still have to go through the long process of editing it and getting it through betas which (at the current beta rate), will be months. But . . . the first draft is finished. I could die tomorrow and I would still have a story to post XD

The bad news is that, as I was typing it up in my room, my internet connection was wonky and it cut out before I finished typing. As I use google docs with google gears to have offline access, I didn't care about this and shut down my computer. Only, when I went to turn on my computer this morning, it wouldn't go into windows >< I have no idea what is wrong with my computer and I don't know of any good computer shops here. It may be months before I am able to get another laptop >____<

I am currently writing from my friend's laptop, but I won't be able to get online as much as I did before. >< Hopefully I can somehow manage to either fix my old laptop or get another laptop before when I next return to the states because I can't imagine spending months borrowing computers.

Luckily, I didn't lose much of the ending of the story. I'll have to rewrite the last 500 words or so, but that's not too bad.

So, unless I find a major plot hole or get sudden inspiration to take the story in a completely different direction than it is now, the story will be 65 chapters long. The later chapters are much, much shorter than the earlier chapters. I have several that are under 3k, but so much happens in them, I think it's better to break them up and have several short chapters rather than a few really long, huge chapters.

I'll probably spend a couple of weeks going over the last chapters again and again, and then I'll start writing Invictus. I can't wait!

At the same time, I'm starting to clean up and edit an RP that I did with shantiwrites. I hope to turn it into a passable fic and post it. I'm not sure how long that will take, as it is the first piece I've ever (co)written in which the POV shifts and I've not grasped how to properly shift POVs yet. Anyway, here's to editing instead of writing!

First of all, as I don't think I announced it before, the Russian translations for A Bunny Tale can be found here (Part 1) and here (Part 2). I thought of that the other day, because I took a trip to see the turtles lay eggs and there was the cutest little bunny at a restaurant we visited. The bunny would come on the table and eat your food after you had finished. The bunny was not supposed to be eating off the plates, so as soon as the owner came by, he'd hurry off. He was so small and adorable, I thought of Harry who is also a very naughty and mischievous rabbit.

My monkeys are still wonderful and still very gay. Our monkey named Voldemort is the cutest thing ever and every time I see her, I want to take her home with me. For those of you interested in that sort of thing, most of the sex I see is male/male and most of the pairings are older males with younger males. It's often older males on top of younger males, but I've seen the reverse fairly often as well, and I've also seen two males have a long sex session together where they take turns topping. The reversible the sex, the more bonded the males tend to be. Some males like to bottom more than others, and some are considered 'sexier' than others and can give other males erections just by walking by. All of the sex I've witness is consensual, and that is the norm. However, one of my coworkers did see an older male aggressively mount a younger juvenile male. That capuchin is a bit of a jerk though. For most encounters, both parties are quite happy to engage in sex. I've seen plenty of butts being offered for fucking to know that it's not normally a show of dominance or aggression. Few things amuse me as much as seeing a juvenile male walking sexily past an older male, with the older male unable to resist the 'call'.
