Oh, and by the way...
MY EXCHANGE FIC IS DONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My first ever, way longer than I thought it would be, fic is done and turned in to the mods at 5:38 this morning. I've been doing the Gangnam style happy dance all day. :D
This was a fabulous experience, even though I spent plenty of days thinking I was absolutely crazy for signing up. I hadn't written ANYTHING for the past few years, except for work things and a bit of fun community writing at the DH2 fangirl weekend.
I had tons of help along the way - pokeystar helped get me started, mischievous_t, pyjamapants, apollinav, geminiscorp, and annietalbot all gave me great feedback/alpha work, gingertart britpicked, and annietalbot SPaGged the thing in rocket-time so I could turn it in under the deadline. And the sshg_newbies comm has been a great source of commiseration, encouragement and resources. And the mods - wow - when they heard about my surgery this summer they let me know that they'd understand if I needed an extension, but thankfully, that wasn't necessary. (All that recuperation time at home gave me tons of writing time, actually!)
So THANK YOU to one and all who played a part in helping me do something I could never have accomplished alone!
