My Yuletide story is finally uploaded
Which I believe means that I will be out of default status once the mods take note of that. (Yes, I sent the appropriate e-mail.) I will probably do another edit tomorrow if my beta gets a chance to do a fast edit, but if not, it can stand as is.
I don't ever want to tap-dance so close to the edge again. The story isn't that long, but it was like pulling teeth to get down. And that was after I threw out a half-written version and started again with an entirely new approach.
I will console myself with the thought (as someone pointed out earlier) that my missing the deadline means that my recipient will get two stories -- the pinch-hit and mine.
And the archive shows that I have two stories waiting! I can now look forward to them with a clear conscience.
