We’re thrilled to welcome our first Guest Author, @gabapple! Best known for her intricate odysseys Never Look Away and The Vitya Diaries, Gab has been weaving fantasy elements and folklore into canon from the very beginning. She doesn’t take shortcuts, preferring paths that are unexplored and treacherous for the heart, keeping us on our toes. We can’t wait to learn more about her mysterious plans for the zine.
Chapter 27 of Never Look Away is currently at 21,000 words and counting, with 7 to-dos remaining, plus beta and revision… I’ve been at a hotel working on it all weekend, and will keep at it as I’m able to between zine projects and my full-time job. I’m REALLY hoping we can post it this week!
In the meantime, have you read Vitya Diaries? It’s NLA canon and supplementary to the fic. While it’s not necessary to enjoy NLA, it does add to our Viktor’s backstory, and is currently 88,000 words to enjoy! You can find it here: https://archiveofourown.org/works/11799600/chapters/26615346
ALSO, please follow our twitter accounts for more frequent updates on where we’re at with the chapters. We tend to talk about the fic a lot there. I’ve been lamenting about my writing crimes all weekend (and posting the occasional snippet from the upcoming chapter)…
Hope that helps! Our boys will be back together soon. <3
