YES! IT'S DEAD!

A DOGA plug... and it's been a long time coming. by Huinesoron on 2008-06-20 03:07:00 UTC Reply

This mission has been in the works since the end of 2005. The first part was posted at the beginning of 2006, but the second half has languished in an incomplete state for two and a half years...

... until now. Ladies and gentlemen and Agents of all shapes and forms, I am proud to present...

... on behalf of Agents Dafydd Illian, Constance Sims and Terri Ryan (DOGA, DMS, DP)...

... the FINAL mission in the long (long long long...) story of the OLDEST member of the Department of Geographical Aberrations...

Celebrian: The COMPLETE Mission

Yes, it's dead. AT. LONG. LAST. And only the last quarter is new (most of the first section was taken up by Ithalond), but, you know what? It was hard work.

(I'm cheering for the badfic being dead, of course, not poor Dafydd.)

It's done! It's DEAD! Huzzah!

And you'd better not take another two and a half years to tell us what happened.

And has there, since, been a new division formed for analyzing Suvian devices to prevent another accident like that?

Most of us just know better. by Neshomeh on 2008-06-20 17:33:00 UTC Reply

But poor Dafydd couldn't resist the Shiny.

Incidentally, hS, how long did you know what you were going to do with the ring before you started C*l*br**n? Back as far as the Pern mission? As far as getting the ring?

So THAT's how he died! by CirГchen AnekГЎth on 2008-06-21 01:53:00 UTC Reply

The wiki ruins all hS's cliffhangers indeed. I once spent a homeworkless afternoon searching all the Agents I could think of on it. Thus, I found out that Dafydd was dead for a while. And thus, the only surprise in this was the how.

The very, very well-written how. And HOW! *is thwacked for the bad pun*

*notes for future reference* Shines... are... not... as.. they... seem.

Of course, that probably wouldn't stop one of my Possible Agents from stealing them. Hm...

Definitely as far as Pern. by Huinesoron on 2008-06-20 19:16:00 UTC Reply

I didn't have the idea back when he acquired the thing -- at the time it was just another in a line of sparklies -- but I know the heavy foreshadowing in DragonRider was deliberate. I'm not sure how long before that... possibly around the time I wrote the Woodsprite mission, or a bit before.

That was amazing. Most brilliant job. The ending was...well, frankly quite epic. It made me scared for a moment there before I ran to check with the wiki. Very nicely done, and I congratulate you on the completion of this gargantuan enterprise.

Whoa. Big words...

Darn that wiki. by Huinesoron on 2008-06-20 16:09:00 UTC Reply

It ruins all my cliffhangers.

It didn't exactly ruin it.... by SealRat on 2008-06-21 16:22:00 UTC Reply

Just now I know it's not going to be like the end of HP 6/7 that's all. Still don't know exactly what's going to happen.
Technically, you ruin all your cliffhangers. (nm) by JulyFlame on 2008-06-20 20:55:00 UTC Reply

Eh? If you wanted it to be a cliffie, why update the wiki? (nm) by Sedri on 2008-06-20 23:28:00 UTC Reply

Because it's now two years overdue. (nm) by Huinesoron on 2008-06-21 01:31:00 UTC Reply

Did Dafydd... just... die?

Ah, *sigh* - I just checked the wiki. I haven't read much of Dafydd before, but I REALLY did NOT want him to die.

Congratsi, hS. That was really, really good.
YES. by lynxihez on 2008-06-20 11:02:00 UTC Reply

Unfortunately, since my school intranet has blocked Freewebs, I have to wait until I get home from school. But it's DONE. Like, actually DONE. Apologies for capslock, but it's like HFA II has updated - something I've been waiting for for a long time, while slowly dying of suspense. Well, for about six months, anyway. I'll comment again when I've read it. St00pid school computers... *wanders off muttering about what she'd do if she had access to the server*

*Apologies for any incoherency in this post. It's just it's my birthday in like six days and I'm excited about that as well, and now you've updated this, it's just...squee! 'Kay, done.*

You. Evil. Man. by Sara on 2008-06-20 07:33:00 UTC Reply

That ending was brilliant, if you don't mind the pun. But now I'm antsy 'cause I wanna know what happened...gah! So so so so evil! And the bit with the ring...not surprising, recalling that essay, but still...

There are no words.

You are an evil, evil man.

There will be a 'what happened' story. by Huinesoron on 2008-06-20 15:55:00 UTC Reply

As soon as I get After Midnight done... which at this rate will be around the turn of the century, but still.

Gaaah! You can't take that long! by Cassie Cameron-Young on 2008-06-20 17:54:00 UTC Reply

You can't leave us all in suspense for another 92 years!

If you attempt to do that, I foresee much hS-poking. With extreme prejudice. And possibly pointy objects.

It is partly written. by Huinesoron on 2008-06-20 19:17:00 UTC Reply

Specifically, the first part is done (although it'll need revising). Probably... oh, a quarter of it. And I /do/ know what's going to happen. And believe me, I want to be done with it, too.

Right, now I'm off to read it... I'll post again with lots of compliments later...
Most excellent! by Enelya on 2008-06-20 06:24:00 UTC Reply

I must admit that I was never brave enough to read the original fic itself. You must have minds of adamantium. New recruits, we can always use those - and the outrrrrrrrrageous French orc was much-needed hilarity.

Eep! The ending!

It's finally done? C*l*br**n's dead? *dies of shock* Hooray! And congratulations!

O'course, that was a particularly evil way of ending it. But we all kind of knew it was coming, so yeah.

Sorry... it's exciting! Now, I'm going to fortify myself with chocolate and read it.
