No worries  Wink
I'm not that stressed out right now. I just have a bunch of stressed people around me (especially a worried mom and a nagging "colleague"/boyfriend). The stress probably won't show up until a couple of weeks before hand-in... Just be glad you don't have to be in the same room as me when I'm hyper stressed. I tend to come close to biting people's heads off...  rolleyes

I am trying to finish a new chapter, but it was very difficult to write it this time. I knew what the chapter would be about, but I think I've got at least ten different versions, none of which I'm perfectly happy with... So I'm taking a little here and a little there, and doing my best to patch it all up until it looks ok.  Undecided

Thanks, everyone  Grin

Got a bit bored, so I made a music video. Planning to do a better version later, though.

If anyone wants to see it, you can find it as a download here (EDIT: new link, see next post by me).

Oh, and it's a spoiler if you haven't read the previous few chapters...  Wink

That glimmer of hope is always present isn't it? I guess that's a good thing.
Where did you learn about all the medical parts of the story? Just good old research? Or personal experience?

This story teaches me a lot of things.
In biology class we were learning about genetic disorders, and part of it was sex-linked genetic disorders. When I saw DMD, I was thinking loudly in my head "I know what that is!" I had half a mind to start talking about it because I knew about it.
But I didn't. Just sat quietly, quite happy with myself. It's little things like this that keep me in a good mood.  tongue

The main inspiration from LFB actually came from a school assignment a girl in my photoclass did. She had photographed three brothers where two of them had DMD, and made it into a touching music video. I got curious, and did some research on it. At around the same time, I also entered the "supermommy" contest, and suddenly the story was born.

A lot of the underlying story comes from personal experience, though most of the medical stuff is research. A lot of "House MD" and "Grey's anatomy", A touch of Youtube, but mostly research on Wiki and medical sites.

And there's (nearly) always hope  Wink


EDIT: did a couple of changes to the video. Also added a little intro...

I know there wasn't a new chapter last weekend - but there will be one (hopefully) tomorrow. Quickest chapter I've ever done, I think - despite several crashes (a bad hair, curiously enough a fixed hair from the booty...but I got the non-fixed version, and it worked)
