^^ Don`t worry, really.

It's done when it's done.

:D

I'm kinda inbetwween happiness and confusion: Happiness that there is news, and confusion about my fellow fans - why would anybody write hatemails?! Don't gimme an answer, it's rhetorical, I don't wanna know. I guessed these forums are for the impatient, antsy fans to express their curiosity and I think this works fine. Whenever I get antsy or dissapointed, I check in here and always find something to cheer me up, (like SulaMoon's post, love your spirit! ) other people who wait, too, and nice people to chat with by the way ;)

I mean it's about Star Trek, about great characters and a great story, and there are many lovely stories up here of which home is only one (sure it's great but you know what I mean).

People should really not pester Lanaea. I love home because I love Spirk, that's it basically.

YAY there's news. :-D

And I thought I was being silly by checking.

That was me, that posted your page on this forum. It was mainly because someone else was wondering who you were and how to ask you, though I do admit being concerned that other people had asked you before and you were (understandably) tired of weird fans of your sister's writing. :-I Sorry.

Lanaea still loves Star Trek.

Lanaea still loves Home.

Yay! That's good news! December is good. I can wait.

I'm pretty sure getting hatemail is just another part of being internet famous.

I was gunna reread Home soon but now I think I will wait to see if an update does happen. Seems like that would be the perfect time to reread the previous chapters, huh?

Ah well, I wish Lenaea and The Girl from Shangri-La the best. I can totally respect real life getting in the way of art/writing/other hobbies because that's just what it does.

SQUEEEE~!

Although I'm more than a bit late about hearing this news, but it totally made my day!

I'll admit that my heart always breaks a little every time I check on Lanaea's page and saw no updates, Obviously I've been spoiled by her daily updates. I never lose my faith that Lanaea will eventually update, she's too awesome, her stories is too awesome and she has devoted so much of her time writing those stories to ever leave it hanging. But sometimes I can't help my heart break and later feel betrayed by myself.

But hearing from you, that yes Lanaea is going to update eventually, gives me another surge of hope ;)

Home is the very first Star Trek fanfic that made me fall in love with the fandom, I'll wait faithfully for the next update and tries to get a life while at it

Please send my best regards to her, She deserves a commendation and medal of honor for her fantabulous stories and her devotion to it at the very least. Since I don't have any authority to grant her any of those I'll send her virtual hugs and cookies instead.

xoxo.

Any news is good news!

Meanwhile, I can just reread Home every so often when I'm feeling sad that there's no updates.

I know I'm not supposed to be excited, but it's December :-P

I've started checking again XD

Oh yes me too! I am very very excited as well!!!

I couldn't imagine a better holiday than an update!

"She doesn't resent any of you, nor your interest in her."

Good! I was worried that about that! Thank you for giving us an update! I meant to respond to this a long while ago, but as you know RL gets in the way of so very much.

now you made me all excited, too! I forgot about the update-posibility in december.

I started reading the reviews (5664 and people still add more) and there are some very sweet ones among them, really cute.

Man. I'm not even that obsessed with Star Trek anymore, but I'm sooo excited about the possibility of an update. XD

Also, this is going to sound really corny and i am a little embarrassed and I don't even think Lanea reads the forums 'cause she's busy with real life, but I feel the need to say this because it's kind of important and... stuff.

So. I was in a relationship in which I was treated like complete shit. I didn't realize it at the time. It was one of those situations where the person has you believing you deserve how badly you're being treated. I was really depressed, and he made me cry every day, and then would accuse me of various things if i ever told him he had to stop making me cry every day. Either way, i would end up apologizing for him being a jerk to me. And I feel really pathetic that I stayed with him for as long as I did, looking back, but it's hard to explain the mindset of this kind of thing.

Well, I went on this website and was checking for updates because December was approaching, but I wasn't really lingering. Then, one day, I decided to reread a bit of Home. And it kind of shocked me how the relationship between Jim and Spock was portrayed - how they treated one another and looked out for each other and were so clearly best friends first who had each others back. And how they were total equals in everything they did. Because it's such a realistic portrayal of a relationship and how a relationship should be. So yeah. I got out of a really bad situation... because star trek slash inspired me, and showed me what kind of relationship I actually want. _ So yeah. Kind of corny. Really sort of weird. It won't make a lifetime movie, I think. I just thought that maybe I should put it on here as a thank-you, because it really helped me out, and I figured after a while (even thought this is a kind of embarrassing story to tell) that if my writing ever helped someone IRL, I'd want to know. So yeah. Um, thanks.

Oh man, that's a really great thing that happened to you!

O:

Personally, I really liked Home because it sort of spoiled me, so well written, and not in a way that should make Lanaea feel pressured, just I dunno, the style was very good, and that's something you can't change, you just have. Ah, I sort of admit to feeling sad and resigned about the last chapter, but I always think about this fondly. Every once in a while I'll read through it. I especially loved how she had a special focus on actual missions, and how they were resolved. I loved the humanity the characters expressed... plenty of stuff! I of course, would love if she updated, but I can wait forever really, for another chapter. Haha, as a college student, I forget about this for huge stretches anyway.

I'm pleased though, to hear something, even though it was from a while ago, it's still nice.

=D.

I am still checking up.

Haven't been reading since the last update, and this is my first response to the forums but, I just kinda wanted to say, I am still watching. I haven't given up after a year, and do not intend to for a long while.

I still check in on things, too. Illogical probably, but maybe if news from the next movie starts coming out she'll be inspired again? That's my hope, anyway.

HO-LI-SHI!

not ten minutes after do I get a reply!

Sorry, I was just lying down when my phone went off letting me know I had an email, I thought I had revived my first birthday text of the night when I look and see this! Totally the least expected thing of the night!

I was sure I was the only person checking these forums anymore!

Haha, I'm a night owl with forum alerts - I just happened to be around! ♥ And Happy Birthday!

:D HAH! night owls FTW

thanks bro!

Gosh, guess what impression you two gave me?

I've been reading my emails around noon (in Germany) and found none, and then, approximately two hours later I found 5 or six mails informing me about posts in this forum!

I was totally excited! Of course I thought there was something new with Lanaea.

Anyway, Happy birthday!

Liz =D

The same thing used to happen to me, but in the end my heart couldn't take it so I canceled the forum alerts....

Now I check in every once in a while, hoping some more news will pop up.

Happy Birthday!!!!

Making this inquiry here because this thread seems to be reasonably active, but...does anyone have a .pdf version of Home? Or .doc, any other e-book reader friendly format? I would be much obliged if someone did, and was willing to share :)

You know, if it is out there, I wouldn't mind having a copy to read on kindle.

you can use fanfictiondownloader: http://www.fanfictiondownloader.net/index.php on this site. Just select the .mobi extension to read it on your kindle :)

A warning to those who choose to go that route: I think that program allowed nagware to install itself on my machine :/ I had to stop using it for that reason.

@ Oceans in hand, really? I have not had this problem. The software was recommended on the kirk/spock livejournal. sorry to hear you had troubles with it.

It could be my crappy Microsoft spyware protection...I've been doing fine with copy/paste pdf epub, just...fics this long are somewhat daunting xD

I am getting close to doing it myself; if that happens, I'll post mediafire links on this thread.

sounds quite long indeed, i do that for some fics on LJ .

since it's really easy to do with the software I thought I'd help out:

home for Kindle: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=TQ7B8ZFR

home PDF file: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=0FWQLM3P

I also use Calibre : http://calibre-ebook.com/ to edit, convert and organise my ebooks.

hope that's OK :)

*pokes forum* Is this thing dead? Its 2011 now, and the story "Home" is still unfinished...I think. At the end of chapter 33 it said " to be continued" so I wasn't sure if that was it or if there was more coming. Does anyone know if Lanaea is still using FanFiction, or has she posted the rest of her work somewhere else? Please tell me anyone, I would love to find out how the story ends. :D
