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

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 [livejournal.com profile] 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 ([livejournal.com profile] 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 [livejournal.com profile] sempraseverus and I are going to be working on an original fic soon with her illustrating! And [livejournal.com profile] 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...

My head is about to explode...

I am so happy you are happy with the exchange. I am certain it will be wonderful. I hope I can guess which one is yours. XD

I hope it will please everyone. I have grown quite attached to it, and I truly think it will be one of my best when all is said and done. At least, I truly, truly hope so.
