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! :)

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?:)
