amor_remanet is a goddess divine.

My very last fic exchange/fest fic is off to beta, and I can now go to bed with slightly less guilt. I say slightly, because I've run this one down to the wire (the piece got completely out of hand length and action wise - I just couldn't cut it off, and I still think it could have been expanded more), gotten an extension from a kind and understanding storymistress, run the wire again, and somehow been lucky enough to have a beta that can handle last-minute emergency beta jobs with finesse.

I think I definitely need to take a break from worrying about deadlines and fests and things and just get a handle on my life, and perhaps write something just for the sake of writing it, fandom or not.

We'll see. This last fic was a challenge. It was a pairing and a request that I've never written before. I found it hard to form and plan and write, but a challenge in a good way, too. I can only hope that the recipient thinks so too. That's the hardest part... I had a goal: Make so-and-so happy. I really, really hope I didn't miss the boat on this one, because if someone is going to take the time and effort to write fic for others, they deserve something they enjoy too.

*sigh* Must stop being a whiny pansy now and go to bed. Another long day shift awaits.
