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! :)

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
