Do you have an account at Teaspoon? I was searching for your fic there, and I could not find you.

No, I don't. Should I?

Hello! *waves* I'm loving A Matter of Time, so thought I'd have a poke around your other stuff =)

Just thought I'd let you know that the link to 'Love's Labour's Lost' is broken/missing/or something...

Oh, thanks for the heads up! Will fix.

Looking forward to reading this! I love your writing, and I'm just waiting until I have the time to sit down and read it all at once!

Hey, what a coincidence, I was just about to comment on "strictly professional"! :D

Hi! Haven't read this yet, but definately will do! Just wanted to say that coverart is amazing!

I think so too - but it's not by me, it's by [info]matchsticks. She has more stuff at her (new but being added to) the comm, [info]polaroidburn. Her work is GORGEOUS.

Hi, I know this is a long shot but do you by any chance have a single file version of your story that you'd be willing to email me at amalthia at gmail.com? your story was highly recommended to me and I'd love to read it. :)

Thank you for your time.

p.s. I'm okay with Word/RTF/HTML.

[info]demotu

October 4 2008, 18:11:13 UTC 3 years ago

Of course I do! I'll send it over.

Hi there,

I was wondering if you'd be interested in having A Matter of Time made into an ebook, which I would then cheerfully pimp for you on, say, [info]kindledfans. (It would actually work on any mobipocket-compatible device or reader.)

If you have the story in a single .rtf, .doc, or .html file, I'd be happy to convert it for you. (I'd then send it back to you, so you'd of course retain complete control over where it's available.) My email address is melina123 at gmail.com, if you're interested! If not, thanks for listening anyway :)

[info]demotu

October 7 2008, 22:48:20 UTC 3 years ago

Yes, sure, I'd be happy if you did that! I don't have a kindle but I think of them wistfully every now and then...

I can email you a .doc file of the whole thing no problem.

By ''maybe you fix it before the end'' does that mean you haven't finished it yet? Because I certainly do, but I won't say how if you haven't got there yet.

Thanks!

This was amazing!
A matter of time captured every bit of my attention from start to finish. The writing style you used was gorgeous and I loved every minute of it, from the smut to the serious stuff from the emotional to the action, everything was brilliantly timed and of the right amount, it was never too much, but always just enough. It was awesome and gorgeous and just plain wonderful.

I'm looking to read this all on one page, but the link you gave doesn't have that option. It just has the option to download the PDF or Ebook versions. Just thought I would let you know.

[info]demotu

December 2 2008, 01:30:30 UTC 3 years ago

Yep, I know. There were some html formatting errors in that version, and I had to take it down because I haven't had the time to go back and redo it. The PDF is the only option for all in one go for now, i'm afraid.

I just wanted to let you know that I downloaded the PDF fic. I am going to comment after reading. Awesome cover by the way!

I just saw this recommended on [info]myfanwy_reads and rushed right over. Just thought you'd like to know!

Grin.

Downloading as I type. Great idea doing it all in one pdf.

[info]demotu

January 30 2009, 02:19:23 UTC 3 years ago

Caveat: the PDF has more errors than the chapters posted on lj, because I've never re-edited the 100,000 word document. But other than that, thanks, and enjoy it!

lol at the above comment. we were recced to rec it and now I am doing just that, officially. Also, I'll have to read it again, I loved this fic. :D

It was a great story and I really do thank you for writing it.

Just wanted to pass on thanks for making this available as a single file. I've been trying to raise awareness that there are fans with chronic pain and disabilities who appreciate not having to spend so much time clicking through long stories or trying to piece things together. I will be reading this with the assistance of a computer voice, on an iPod. You saved me loads of effort to gather the story parts for conversion to speech, and I will enjoy this story even more for that. I will be able to do PT and walk on a treadmill while reading, instead of sitting behind a keyboard which causes me pain.

Thanks for being ahead of the curve!

Hey, you are very welcome! I confess I was just thinking in general of people who like to download to read offline, or to print, but thanks for pointing out that isn't the only thing it's useful for. I'll keep that in mind for any other multichapter things I do.

Hi there,

I just finished reading this and I'm very glad I did. This was, in fact, the very first Torchwood fic I've read and I love it! It was very well written, the characters were great (very believable) and also very hot (Kethan/Ianto/Jack *drools*)

I'm gonna look though your other fics :)

[info]demotu

July 22 2009, 02:14:44 UTC 2 years ago

Thanks very much! There's nothing else anywhere near this substantial, but I hope you enjoy what you find (as there is some porny porn. :D)

Oooh, I love long stories - and I was so stoked to see you had it available as an ebook! Unfortunately, the site the ebook was on seems to be down - could you perhaps re-upload it somewhere? That would be greatness! :-) Thank you.

[info]demotu

September 21 2009, 23:14:46 UTC 2 years ago

I actually don't think I have a copy of the ebook - someone just did it for me and uploaded it. I'll take a look - is there somewhere I can just email it to you if I find it?

Could you please send me a copy of your PDF (or, preferably, *.doc file)? Send it to my screen name at livejournal.com .

Thanks so very much. I've really enjoyed the story.

Sorry for taking so long to get back to you, but I *just* finished uploading this to AO3 here, so you can download a pdf, html, epub or mobi file there. I switched computers and haven't tracked down my original files (bad archiving, hah), so that'd be the fastest way at this point.

Thanks for the comments! I'm glad you enjoyed it.

I would love to get this as a PDF, please may I?

I have read this fic multiple times and love it as much now as I did the first time

[info]demotu

May 11 2011, 20:44:00 UTC 1 year ago

Hi! Thanks for the comments, sorry for being so slow (switched computers, didn't have the old file on me anymore), but I just finished importing it to AO3here, so you can download a pdf, html, epub or mobi file there, so that makes this all much easier. Enjoy! :)

Dear Demotu,

Hi. Can I just say, I LOVE YOU TO PIECES? Because yes, I really do. You really blew my mind with this fic. I'm off to trawl the net for more stuff by you; this is really that awe-inspiring. There's characters I just love so much, i wanna pick them up and KEEP THEM, FOREVER. Honest.

I was also wondering, could I use your name 'kethan' for Jack in a fic I'm planning to write? Credit where it's due, of course. But I'd like your permission before doing anything. And I'm pretty sure it won't be a copy, because my planned 'kethan' is a Post-COE one. Please?

Love,
LM

Hey, thank you for the lovely comment! I've written nothing else of this length, alas, but you'll find everything I have written here. Someday I'll write another novel, but who knows in what fandom? :D

You can absolutely use Kethan! Man, I think the hardest thing I did writing this fic was naming an already named character. Nearly impossibly difficult, but somehow I pulled Kethan out of my ass and it became real enough that people bought it! :) I can't imagine trying to then come up with another different name with that in my mind, so please feel free.
