Hooray!

[girlyswot]

At last I can say I'm a Sugar Quill author!  I've been lurking around there for somewhere between eighteen months and two years and now, finally, I have a story up.

Thanks to 

amamama for nominating me, and to tdu000for the beta and everyone else just for being lovely.

It's Long Love's Day, btw, so most of you have already read it.  I hope to start publishing The Squib there soon.

Congrats!!!

I can remember oh so long ago when I became one, too!

You can ask moonette1 the story about it. We were quite nervous awaiting our answers.

*grins at the old skewl memories*

Thank you!! I feel quite ridiculously squee-ey and excited about it. Maybe because so many of my friends have been at the Quill since oh so long ago! I actually wasn't that nervous because, in the bizarre way things worked out, I became a beta reader first so I got a say in the decision. *grins*

Yay, congratulations!!!

[girlyswot.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

Congratulations! Just be patient with the very long lead-time from submission to posting... I got on the "easy" way, via a challenge.

[girlyswot.livejournal.com]

Yes, I gather it's not always very speedy. This time I must have got lucky - I submitted it to Madam Pince at lunchtime and by about 4pm it was up!

I've got the dossiest beta job in the world. Ros emailed me her story; I read it with great enjoyment and then told her it was perfect as it was and needed no alterations. This was my first beta reading job and I think I managed it with style and aplomb!

[girlyswot.livejournal.com]

I can see that aplomb from here! It's hiding behind Young(ish) Albus.

Well done, I won't even attempt to try! *I bow down to your greatness*

Thank you! Maybe next time they have a submission day? They are looking for authors with completed fics, so that's an incentive to keep on with Fight for a Life.

Yippeeee! *skips around* That's so cool - congratulations! And you deserve it. The stories are wonderful. I'd be giddy, if it was me.

*Hugs* This calls for a celebration, methinks.

Cheers!

[girlyswot.livejournal.com]

Definitely giddy! Thanks so much.

Congratulations!! It's about time, LOL.

[girlyswot.livejournal.com]

Yes, that's sort of how I feel too!!

[ladywhizbee.livejournal.com]

Congratulations! It does feel quite good doesn't it? :-) I'm glad that you'll finally be able to archive your stories there--you certainly deserve it.

Thank you - it feels great!
