We both fret about having time to write a proper fic for this even, so I go and write just over the required word length and you write a 10,000 word, aching beautiful, brilliant piece of work.

Which I think says more about sanity, or lack thereof, than anything else. I just about needed to take a mental health day when I finally finished it, lol. And I know everyone can be their own worst critic, but I think a lot of it needs serious revision. But thank you so much for those incredibly nice comments, seriously. I almost scrapped this fic at one point because I just wasn't sure where it was going and there really didn't seem to be much happening. (The part where Tonks wonders if the conversation has a point was a direct self-insert, I couldn't help myself :) And I was really worried it was getting a little overly dramatic. But thank you again - I love your own writing, obviously, so it makes comments doubly special and appreciated.

its about having hope in the end to wake up the next morning and still get out of bed.

And thank you for immediately understanding what I was trying extremely hard to get across! =)

Ah, I do know what you mean. Sometimes I'll go back and read my old stuff for reference, and just... *wince*. bringandfly once read me my rights for criticizing myself too much, and she made a very valid point: the rest of the world is far to eager to bring you down without you helping them along. So. Chin up. I thought it was fantastic.

I also do not think the story wandered into the overly-dramatic. It was filled with a quiet desperation, yes. But it needed to be; that was the whole point!

Baffy is a wise woman, so I'll take that advice! :)

Although not about the stuff that I wrote years ago, I draw the line there! Cleaned out my desk today and found my old writing notebooks from when I was around twelve, thirteen, fourteen. And, OH DEAR. I was hooked on Titanic and that teen Love Stories series at the time. The main character of one story was a Mary Sue named Kayla. Enough said, really.
