I didn't believe I could do that.

thedivinegoatI just posted my Yuletide fic. An hour past the deadline, (I think, I got a bit confused with the time zones) but it's up. I hate it, and it's awful and my recipient will probably hate it, BUT IT'S UP. I DIDN'T DEFAULT!
ETA Um, I was so excited at not defaulting, (seriously, about three hours ago at 11pm, and we had guests over for Dinner, I was convinced I was going to default) I forgot to say that I really, really need someone to beta my fic as it's the unbeta'd draft I've uploaded. It's mainly spelling, grammar and punctuation I need going over - (I'm not saying my story's perfect and wouldn't benefit for refining, but at this stage I think it is what it is). It's about 1400 words long, so if anyone would have a few moments spare to go over it for me, I'd be really grateful.
ETA2 Um, if anyone does reply able to beta, it might be a few hours before I get back to you because I'm going to bed now. *Falls over*

So, yes. 1400 words is CAKE. And nothing near death.
