Jess's Journal

I'm terrible about updating my website, but I just did it now because there are other things I should really be doing - I uploaded:

The Right Time (Ugly Betty, Daniel/Betty)
When Betty Suarez wins her first National Magazine Award, Daniel Meade presents it to her.

and

Piece by Piece (Gilmore Girls, Lorelai Gen)
Lorelai picks up fragments of a future and hands them to her daughter piece by piece.

I am not a web design mastermind, so apologies in advance if I messed up (which is very possible).

In the process of putting those files up there, I ended up (very) slightly reorganizing the page where I list the fic I've written, which led to me clicking around and reading some of them - always dangerous! I broke down and ended up going into one story file to make some edits (changing a word/sentence or two to clarify something I found confusing reading it over now), but there were slightly more extensive changes I wanted to make on one story in particular and I couldn't bring myself to do it. It felt like cheating somehow, even though the change wasn't anything too big - just deleting two or three paragraphs to make one scene a little tighter. But still I felt weird doing it.

Do other people edit stories after they've been posted?

Written for Melymbrosia's birthday (and just under the wire for Valentine's Day!), a short fic based on the film Bringing Up Baby:

Lovely

Susan wants David to wear a blindfold to the reception.

Thanks to Kaelie and E, as always.
