...the exchange fic is done. Now I know how Handel felt. Thanks again to stgulik , who provided pristine beta work, as always. I'm actually sad I'm done. I will tweak a bit here and there, because I always provide Jules with some easter eggs, so she will enjoy something she hasn't already read umpteen times, but it's done, and I'm happy. Now, if I could just check with Professor Trelawney to see if my recipient is going to be happy with it as well...

I wonder if that's common, for fic writers to feel kind of blah once a piece is finished. Maybe you need some sort of ritual to commemorate your accomplishment!

[bulletimescully.livejournal.com]

Congrats! That a good sized piece you've got there! I can't wait to read it!

[teddyradiator.livejournal.com]

Thanks! Now I'm itching to post...

Maybe we could have a Dumbledore effigy burning party on Thursday night before midnight...or a JKR effigy burning party...

I have been told by my European friends who went to the debut last night that our prayers might have been answered.

In the meantime, time and chapter 21 wait for no wizard...

?? What prayers??

Congratulations on 63 847 words of well-written fic. You put fantastic effort into it and if they don't like them (mimes shooting them in the nape of the neck)

[teddyradiator.livejournal.com]

Thanks!

Trelawney's a fucking faker. You listen to Mimi; your recipient will squee with excitement.

[teddyradiator.livejournal.com]

Well, you ARE she-who-must-be-obeyed... ;P

[justpinkpastel.livejournal.com]

Oh wow! That's quite a long exchange piece!

I am sure that the recipient will love it. I mean, you are the one who wrote it... How could they not like it? You're freaking amazing!

[teddyradiator.livejournal.com]

Is it? How long are they usually?

From your lips, babe...I'm hoping they will...

[justpinkpastel.livejournal.com]

I have no clue. I'm just going off of what I have written so far for my story. Yours is about 6 times longer than what I have.

You are a great writer, and if for some reason they don't like it, I will personally go kick their ass until I get rid of whatever mental issue they have and start enjoying what you gave them.

Congratulations, Teddy! I can't wait to read it.

[teddyradiator.livejournal.com]

I really hope you'll enjoy it.

There is no way your recipient wouldn't love your story!
I am torn between wanting the exchange to start so I can read all new, wonderful ss/hg fics, and wanting it to wait because I still have a ways to go to finish my fic.
