Ça va? Ça va. Long time no see.
I don't know if anyone who's still here even remembers me, but...
I wrote The Aphanes ten years ago in 2005. I know. This story (and The Heart's Landscape) never really left my mind. The old website is long gone and so is the computer I wrote this on, but I rescued the chapters from archive.org. I've never been 100% happy with the first three chapters (neither have my readers), and it felt really good to come back to them and tighten things up.
I made a lot of edits, massaged the dialogue, and tried to make the technology sound current. (The original mentioned a Discman, and people cared more about newspapers back then.) A couple of chapters have changed substantially; most are only different here and there. But it's the same story.
Anyway, it's now up on AO3.
I do plan to give the same treatment to THL, and to finally finish it, and yes I mean it this time.
(And yeah, I do feel old, thanks for asking.)
(Livejournal is WEIRD now.)
