The end of an era

Back when I first got accredited on Perfect Imagination, and I was a green beta with no experience, I agreed to take on an angsty Dramione.

The author felt pretty sure it would be only 75k words or so.

One year, 54 chapters, and approximately a gazillion words later, I just now sent off the last pages.

We're done!

Pop the cork - it's Champagne Thursday!

Brava, you! It's a sense of accomplishment that no doubt has a bittersweet edge, I'm sure.

And you'll be doing the same thing soon with Lay Me Low. It's a funny thing. I'll be glad to finish it, but at the same time there will be a great feeling of loss. I guess parents feel the same way when the chick leave the nest.

*clinks a glass with you* I'll go fill up my glass of Grey Goose and join you.

Oh, I'll be much sadder over the end of an era when LML wraps up. We really will have to celebrate here. But then there'll be so much to do afterwards!

This is true - there won't be time to sulk - we'll be onto the next one! ;)

Seriously, she couldn't have had a better beta - I know I thank my lucky stars every day for you.

Well actually, I know I annoyed her greatly at times!

I almost thought that Jules was referring to YOU, because i know how your stories take on a life of their own. Then it registered: DRAmione. Okay... NOT Teddy, then, lol. It's early and I'm not sufficiently caffeinated yet....
