I HAVE A COMPLETE DRAFT. \o/

The Aral/Jole story is, at present, 27,155 words long. So ... I guess we're going to be in beta (haha, Beta) for a while. BUT I HAVE A COMPLETE DRAFT!

*blows many kisses of thanks to iulia and rubynye and fairestcat and oliviacirce and everyone else who has been listening to me whine and gnash my teeth*


...Man, now I have to think of something else to write tomorrow to keep my streak alive at 750words...

*twirls you*

You did it YAYS!

I vote for the cuddling fic :)

[dira]

I am thinking cuddling fic, yeah.

I mean, that or the one about Aral, Cordelia, and the extremely Betan Frequently Suggested Sexual Practices: An Aid to Open Communication Between Partners.

(When the Betan embassy gives them out to Barrayarans who turn up on the doorstep after dark, the checklist is accompanied by a printed sheet of Frequently Asked Questions and an entire bookdisc of diagrams and explanations.)

(Not that I woke up at 5:30 and started thinking about this, what.)

[ellen_fremedon]

Have we ever met the Betan ambassador to Barrayar, or any of the embassy staff? Because I really wonder what they must think of their jobs.

[dira]

We have not, but seriously I want to write (and read!) so many stories about them, because it must be the weirdest place to work. *g*
