teddy_radiator... to finishing my exchange fic. It's really all over but the shouting, which is probably what Jules will be doing on the last two chapters. If I've done my job.
Seriously, I fretted through this story; I knew it was a good prompt, I know I'm a decent writer, but putting it all together with everything Real Life was throwing at me really had the old insecurity-ometer pegging the dial.
You know what fixed it? My beta. My clever, uncompromising, tell-it-like-it-is, right-on-the-money beta,![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
stgulik , the patron saint of insecure writers. Bless her. If you like this fic (and I hope you will), just know that it would not be a tenth as good as it is without her intervention, encouragement and sparkling wit. Remind me to tell you about the best email I have ever received. It has sat by my laptop during the writing of this fic and has gotten me inspired more times than I can count.
Thank you, Jules, for making my first Exchange experience one that I will never forget - for all the right reasons. If there is a beta heaven, you will be among the archangels.
