Finished!
My Yuletide story is done and posted!
This is a fantastic feeling, particularly as there was a point a few days ago when it felt as if it would never happen -- not that you you're going to be able to identify it by looking at the longest stories in the archive; just that it's significantly longer than I thought it was going to be, with a corresponding increase in my stress levels as December passed. My poor put upon beta deserves special thanks for a super speedy turnaround, despite my increasingly frantic e-mails saying things like "well this is the first part, but I think there's around X pages still to come."
Panic notwithstanding, writing it has left me with a big urge to tell everyone that the original creator of my Yuletide source is insanely brilliant. Seriously -- the detail in their world is amazingly creative. Um… just wanted to say that -- can't really elaborate without giving anything away.
