Ahem, ahem...

WARNING:  Self pimpage ahead.

I submitted my 2006 SS/HG Winter Exchange story The Beauty of Grace to both OWL and TPP.  It's still in the queue at OWL, but I'm a real author at TPP!  Miracles never cease.

In case you're interested, Chapter One can be found here...

Well done you.

Of course, you know this means that you ought to write another one. :D

[misstee123]

Thank you!

I hear rumours of another SS/HG exchange coming round sometime in the not-too-distant future, and I've already decided to throw my hat into the ring for that one. You know, now that I've had a taste of reviews, I'm hooked. I'll have to write again just to feed the cravings... :D

[scatteredlogic]

Yea! And you already have reviews! I really enjoyed that story and I can't wait to see what you write next. ~hint hint~

;)

[misstee123]

Thank you - although I'm not a REAL writer until I get my first flame, right?

~snerk~

I'll have to keep going until I get there.

What's funny is how I'm now seeing what everyone has warned about - I've had 155 reads of this chapter and four reviews. Makes me feel bad for all the stuff I've read and enjoyed without ever leaving a review. :D

Congratulations! Of course, none of us who read your story are at all surprised that the excellent moderated archives love it :D I second Shiv's suggestion that you write more!

*blushes*

Aw, shucks. You know, if you could have seen me trying to sucessfully navigate the submission process, you'd be thrilled that I manage to tie my shoes successfully every day. The first time I submitted it, I accidentally sent the unbeta'd version to OWL, leaving them under the impression (rightfully so) that I'm a raging moron. So... the fact that I even have one chapter up at TPP is a major victory for me. :D

I hear that there may be another SS/HG exchange in the works, so I can't wait to see more from you, too.

HA!! They are lucky to have your story, my dear, I wish you many lovely reviews;-)

[misstee123]

Thank you so much!

I don't think I could have done it without my f-list (esp. YOU!) standing behind me as my cheering squad.
