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 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...

The one with Sempra will be an original. I've had it brewing in my head for ages, but when she told me she'd like to do something original with me, I just leapt at the chance. I'll work with her and Mimi anyday of the week.

Thank you for the flower - I think I'll put it in my lapel!
