But you're all so wonderful and helpful and supportive with this fic- a fic that's completely out of my comfort zone and so deep in unfamiliar territory that it frightens me sometimes- and it's been keeping me going.

I've been playing with this chapter for almost two weeks now, and while I'm not completely satisfied with it, if I don't post it now, I probably never will. :\ Thank you for all your feedback! I'll be finishing up review responses right after I post this, and then I'll get right on the next chapter so there'll hopefully be an update next Thursday, ( Read more... )
