thanks to the anon who messaged us. i missed entirely that the id was there. [in my defense, i just woke up and skimming thru :) ]

[Part 3 of a 3-part post-curse AU that mostly ignores Season 2 developments; see the notes for details.]

Show starts in 40 mins.

Hi everyone! This is normally the time of the weekend when I post an update -- warning, this is NOT one. Instead, it's a double announcement. First, I'm very excited to share that Allaine of Femslash4Fans (at BlogTalkRadio) has kindly invited me to come onto his internet radio show to talk (alongside fellow author heartsways) about my writing, Emma and Regina and OUAT. I'm sure many of you will already be familiar with the show as it's covered OUAT twice before, and I expect that heartsways and Allaine will work hard to stop me from sounding like a complete idiot. This will be taking place on the 12th of February at 7pm EST. You can listen live or download later at Femslash4Fans. ... Second, on the slightly more left-field front: After some significant soul-searching about the third part of this series, I've decided to start rewriting it from scratch. [Nobody panic!] I realize this is a radical decision but I've talked it over extensively with the people who have been with me throughout the journey, and we are in unanimous agreement that somewhere along the way this third part has turned into something different from what I actually set out to write. This is all super subjective stuff and so if you really like these eight chapters, you're not "wrong"--but I'm simply not writing the story that I wanted to, so to do the first two parts of Plunge justice, I'm going to take a second stab at the whole thing. The eight chapters that already up will be deleted once I am ready to start posting the rewrite. If you want to keep this aborted attempt at a third part, download what's here now! I'm sure--like, "I will always find you!!" levels of sure--that the redrafted version of FP3 is going to be better story, but.... that's just me. You don't have to agree. When it goes up, I am happy to hear whatever you're thinking, even if it's, "you animal, those first eight chapters were far better!"  That's... what I get for jumping the gun on publishing something unfinished and then realizing I want to drastically change it.  :) Thanks again for all your support and interest -- I will see you all again in a little while, when I have enough of FP3 v2 written to be sure that it's what I want it to be. - maleficently
