Argh. We're going to need at least two pinch-hits for less_for_you, and that's only if orpheus_samhain accepts my suggested squeezings of two existing gifts to fit the requests of people they were not originally written for, which itself leaves two gifts floating in the ether with no recipients. If not, we're going to need as many as four pinch hits. Augh! Augh I say!

Anybody got any Severus/Lily bunnies they're looking to give away?

The Snack ficlet I asked for betas for the other day totally failed to be a lightweight, smutty little morsel. It came out at ~6800 words, which is by a long shot the longest fic I have ever completed. It's almost triple the next contender* and over 3.5 times the next one that I have actually posted anywhere.

It was also written incredibly fast, for me, since I only started it on the 11th, I think. I am regularly in awe of how people can get down more than a thousand words at all, never mind over a short space of time. 10k+ really makes my jaw drop. If I get any ideas in the first place, I run out of them long before I fill up that kind of column inches.

Anyway, it's with said betas now, but I am still chewing my nails. Not over what they might say, but over the idea that I might have been entirely wasting my time. ( more angst inside! )
