my_thestral | I finally made it! :)

Yey, I finally managed to finish my endless Art of denial fic - it ended up being over 128K long and has 26 chapters - and I already got someone complaining that he expected an epilogue. Isn't that enough words, for fuck's sake?! :) The fics is stretched over 20 years - and still someone wants a closure after the story's done. Oh, well, it's not the kind of fic that could make everyone happy.:)
I know the length and the pairing (Ron/Draco) will put most readers off, because there's just not a big community out there who would enjoy it, but I went a bit out of my shoes to put most of the story from Draco's perspective, rather than Ron's, so that's an oddball for me. And you know what - I know it's mushy and very cliche-ed but I don't even care, I'm quite proud of it. :) I might even consider posting it into communities (and kick myself afterwards). If anyone has a good idea what's a good community to post a Draco/Ron fic into, then do let me know, I'd appreciate it.
I'll post the last chapter separately, this is just to let you know that for once, I feel like I've actually accomplished something and I don't even care if no one likes it... :) Yey, me, for effort alone! :)

Thank you, you always come through for me!:) I have to see in which of those I even have posting privileges - I'm pretty sure that I do in dracomalfoyfans and perhaps hp_fantiction as well. But if hp_slash is active, I could be best off there. I don't even know what I'm doing here - I've never posted into communites before, so I don't know what are the rules. Can you post to more than one community or is that considered presumptuous? Can you just insert and A03 link also, cause I don't see any other option it's all too scattered around my journal for anything else to work.:P
Thank you for replying so quickly, I'll send a reply to your proper mail later, right now I only have time for a few odd lines here and there, damn work! :P (I wanted to say fucking work, but someone complaint in the comments of my fics that I write "fuck" too much and I just felt like replying - I do that in real life as well, so kindly fuck off, my fic, my rules - but in the end I was much more polite, I don't believe in scolding people for their comments. :)

Congratulations, Love!

I'm happy for you. I knew that you can make it. Praevarus told you already in what communities you can post it. hprarepairs is also active soon they had a Fest if I'm not mistaken. I sent you a link for Hugo from there, if you remember.
Feel free to shape it like everyone else.
Title:
Author:
Pairing:
Summary:
Note:
And then put links to different chapters in the story, no matter where they are.

Congratulations, again.
I'm sorry that I didn't send you mail, but it still hard to collect my thoughts and I don't keep at computer for long.

Thank you, girl!
You have no idea how very on time your comment was. I already had all the thing written and then I saw your post and I had to completely re-arrange it and add summary and so, cause I really didn't know how to do it right the first time. :)
So thank you very much, it's really nice of you to help me even if you don't like the pairing and all - and being all sick as you are, that counts for even more!
And thank you for your trust in me - at some point I thought I'd never get to the end and writing mushy is not really my thing, but it is whatever it is now - it can't be all bad if one guy wanted also an epilogue written. :) Eh, you can't ever make everyone happy! :)
I really hope you get better soon and we can see some of your splendid art and during that time just rest, yeah?:)

I promise I'll going to read it, hon. :D

Dear god, now you scared me! ;) Well, I'll be honoured if you do, but don't expect much from it, I don't think it's your cookie. YOu know what - if you do bother and you figure out you just can't be bothered to finish - don't stretch yourself too far just cause we're friends. I know it's not something everyone could enjoy, it's mushy and perhaps you, as a man, won't like the emotional element in it much.
BTW - I do enjoy your little vignettes of Ron, Draco and Harry's relationships, thought I'm mostly like: yey, he's got Ron again!:) I don't usually comment, because I read them mostly at work and I can't really parade it.:) But good work - and god, you're productive, wish I was so inspired! :)

Girl, I love mushy and emotions. Those are the best. :D Have a bit of faith in what you're writing, hon. :D

I have to be honest. Most of the time I don't read stories which are too long, because of my ADHD (distraction and stuff) and my lack of time, but I really want to read this on. Give me a bit of time and I will. :-)

Thanks so much for the huge compliment. I know. My love for Ron radiates through every story. :P

That's why I love AO3. I'm not at comments. Mostly I write "good story" or something. On AO3 I can leave kudos on the stories that I love. (and there are many! :P)

Like I said, I'd truly be honoured if you dedicate your time to reading this - having a son with ADHD at home, I understand perfectly well what an effort it is to you to even attempt reading something as long as this and it's that much more appreciated. And there will be absolutely no hard feelings if it's not your cookie or you simply can't finish - tastes and writing styles are different, maybe this is simply not for you and I have no problem with that.
Ron's also my favourite, but this particular fic is more from Draco's perspective. I've only got like 7 stories written (1 unfinished) and I'm nowhere nearly as hard-working as you when it comes to writing!
Big hug for simply being such a nice guy! :)

You're a sweetheart, hon! <3

It doesn't matter how many stories you've written. It's the fun writing brings that counts. :D

I finally made it! :)
