Last week I wrote the first draft my story for rarewomen and was very pleased with it. Then I let it sit for a week.

Last night I looked at it again, and it's a piece of crap. I think maybe half of it is salvageable; the other half will have to be completely rewritten. Bah.

(...and this is why I usually need at least two months for any sort of fic thing...)

hee -- it's really okay, I'll fix it and it will be fine. I do actually like fic exchanges because they force me to take that extra polishing step because I'm wracked by guilt at not making it as good as possible (and also because I have two months, so I might as well :) ), and I'm usually happier with the result. At least, I'll be happier in a month or so, if not right now :)

Can you post them all as rarewomen treats? It's annoying to have to wait a month for something you want to post now, though!

They will be treats. One of them actually is kind of a planned treat for my recipient, since the fic itself is going to be so damn dark. But to think about posting them implies that there is some kind of coherent narrative structure. And, no.

hee. Well, maybe someday? :) I've got the coherent structure, more or less, I just haven't gotten Anything Else, bah.
