Hi, my name is Melissa, and I write original sci fi, space opera, fantasy and a whole lot of video game fanfictions. What can I say about The Sword of the Clans that won’t get you all to run screaming for the hills? It’s a very long term project, often described as ’Gaelic speaking shepherds in space’, which, although I’d say it’s currently at least 80% complete (it’s 73,000 words at the moment) has always been the work which gets pushed to the back. This seemed like a fantastic opportunity to focus on it for once, so here it is! :)  (It will probably fall between 300-400 pages, but the 400 page mark notation seems amazingly resistant to editing..)
