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! :)

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.

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.
