Exchange Fic Update

I've got three chapters at the most and I'm done. My beta is making some very nice noises while reading it. I like the arc of the story, I like the humor, the snarkiness, the sexiness and the ending, which is already written.

All I've got to do now is write the denouement. I'm a little nervous. I wrote the first chapters, then the last ones, and now I'm meeting them up in the middle. I like to do that on occasion; it's a bit of an exercise to see how well they dovetail, and I've had good luck. So far.

The Hubs has agreed to do a 'audio book' reading of my original story, Her Minder, for my friend kela, who has a terribly long commute and loves to listen to books when driving. She has insisted on us going to the midnight showing of DH2, and I have agreed providing I get to sit in her lap and she has to comfort me while I make a food of myself. I'm going to take a box of tissues, knowing what a crybaby I am. I wouldn't be going at all except she is coming up that weekend just to go to the cinema with us.

Speak of reading aloud, he read the following quote to me a few moments ago. It was very funny, spoken as it was in his clipped, lovely British accent, in a perfectly 'naice' public service announcement sort of way:

Wow! It'll take him a while to record that, won't it? i know that when I read aloud, I can only manage a couple chapters before I develop an annoying dry tickle in my throat and have to stop. Or perhaps that just happens to me? In any case, he has a lovely voice, and I look forward to hearing him say all that naughty stuff!

Ah, men doused in gasoline *smirks*
I hope your exchange fic will be open to read - I am quite looking forward to it as I love your writing if not truly the pairing. ;)

Thanks. I really, really hope I have done well this time round.

Oooo! I can't wait to read your fic!!

I guess kela has finally solved your dilemma of wanting to see the movie in the theater, but not wanting to look like a blubbering idiot. Now you have to go!!! Yay!

As for the recent study findings... How true!
