Iz.............................Celebrating!!!

[teddy_radiator]

Because I've finished my first ever Exchange fic. I'm drunk on several lite beers, I'm giddy with joy, I just read a Snape/OC that made my heart pulse in my seat and I'm THRILLED TO BE DONE WITH MY EXCHANGE FIC!!!!

Seriously, this has been so exciting for me! I wasn't even going to do it, until droxy bullied bribed encouraged me to do it, and boy am I glad she did. This has been a learning experience. Firstly, I learned that I can write another person's prompt if necessary; secondly, I learned that a good beta (stgulik , of course) can literally bring a sick fic roaring back to life with a few well-placed edits, and thirdly, I can write smut with substance. I like what I've written. Really, really like it.

This has been a revelation to me. I'm capable of taking all the elements (my Muse, my beta, my friends) and use them to make something good. I'm sorry, folks, the beers are talking. A little.

And sempraseverus and I are going to be working on an original fic soon with her illustrating! And mimimanderly and I are in the middle of The Sempra Deck, which I am proud of.

If I can get a job in the next month, I'll be dangerous!

There is a second prompt from my recipient that has me intrigued...let's see...three full weeks until the deadline...

You have no idea how much I look forward to reading that story of yours.
Almost more than I look forward to Tuesday night (Potter). Scratch that, I look forward to your story more.


And you called me a tease!

Now, have another beer. I'm having one!

By the by, what scene is your icon from? It's...fascinating!

That's so very kind of you! I hope it will be pleasing to you.

Justpinkpastel made it for LJ - it's the Unbreakable Vow scene - she knows I have a thing for Alan Rickman's hands...

His hands are a law unto themselves, if you know what I mean. One of these days I'm going to have to crack open the sketch pad for a niiiiice close up of Sev's hands doing unspeakable things.

PULEASE!!!! And if I'm very good and very sweet, would you send me an original???? I have a wall of Snape, you see....

Hmmm....only if I can persuade you to write Frollo smut. Because that's the motor that drives and motivates ickle Mojo. * Waggles eyebrows*

He is quiet Snape-ish, isn't he? Give me more information about him. I am woefully ignorant of the story, but I like what you are writing soo much!

Where to start? You've never seen the Disney version of Hunchback? It's really Disney's darkest and finest. Sassy girl meets unbending judge. Better yet, give me a moment and then pop over to my journal, I'll upload a small clip. Just to give you a feel for the character(s).

Hands doing what exactly, Master? Oh, the clips are up. Enjoy!
