Oh dude I SUCK

[lettered]

I broke the rules at H/D LDWS at slythindor100 by posting Sex, Lies, and Videotape. It's similar to the 250 word drabble, Honestly Ever After that I wrote for that competition, and you weren't supposed to post any alternate versions until after the competition was over.

All I can say is I'm sorry! I completely forgot! I forgot because it became a completely

I'm sorry again.

The drabble came out of ideas for a fic I've been trying to write for years. So when I was finally able to write something I'd always wanted to, I was thinking of it as a culmination of those attempts, and not as a culmination of what I set out to do with the drabble. It was no longer related to the drabble at all in my head, which I know makes no sense.

Thanks again for understanding, and I'm sorry for the trouble I caused.

I can't imagine the need for so much repeated apology, hon. I'm sure you apologized as soon as it was (hopefully politely) pointed out to you. And then you worked to rectify your mistake. It's nice that you are acknowledging again and again that you erred, and that you did so NOT ON PURPOSE. But honestly? It's a small, understandable, slipped-your-mind, unintentional mistake in the rules of a com and you fixed it immediately. I hope you don't lose any more sleep over it.

And I am looking forward to reading it when the time comes.

omg it's stressing me out so much. I just feel like I let people down, both by posting it and then by locking it. But thanks :o( I'm told I apologize irl too much as well.

Letting people down?? By posting already de-anoned fic you yourself wrote? In a totally new form? And not on purpose? And you instantly fixed it the best you could? I mean, it's a rule, and I assume it is a rule for a reason--I trust that there's a reason. But letting someone down? I can't see that. [shakes head to clear] In any case, you've fixed it and it will blow over.

Well, I have a guilt tripping mother, like to follow rules, and do not like to feel like I've been bad and people have to decide what to do about me. Plus I love vaysh11, who's helped me in many ways in the past.

I hate clicking on a link where someone has recced a fic, or pimped themselves, and finding out it's locked, so that's why I feel guilty towards those who want to read it. Obviously, it's not a huge pain to comment and get friended, or for me to friend people who want to read it. Obviously, it's just porn. Obviously, I'll get over it. But that's why I feel I let people down ;o)

Thanks so much, oh my god I'll stop apologizing!
