Things are going pretty well. I split the story into thirds (for posting, although I may not need to do that) and have gotten the first two thirds back in more-or-less final form from the betae. I just have to finish the third third to match some changes in part #2 (slated for next weekend), send that off for one last beta, then send the whole thing off to Non-Canon Reader #2 - AND THEN WE ARE DONE. (Which is good, 'cause I got RL friends showing up the weekend before.)
Came close to making myself sick - even left work early yesterday - but am a little better now and can see the glimmer of the finish line in the distance. WOOT! \o/
I can't say I love love the story - I'm too much of a perfectionist, and I wanted another full rewrite or two - but I've had a blast with the research. And now I'm looking into visiting my setting on vacation. :D
