Crossing My Fingers

If you look at the title, of course I'm not literally crossing my fingers, that would make it difficult to type.

I'm finally close to finishing my big story, Love and Music. I'm excited for what the future holds, but I'm simultaneously sad. This was my first fanfic after all, and I'm sad to see it starting to wrap up. Of course, I want to make more stories with the Octavia/Vinyl relationship from my story, but I'm not sure how far I can take that.

This story has meant a lot to me. It was met with an okay reception, which has only grown since. It started as a seven-likes-one-dislike story, giving me confidence in my writing. Since the release, my writing has gotten better over the course, my plot ideas have become stronger, and I feel as if I've grown as a writer. I have a great sense of pride in this moderately successful story. I owe all of it to my readers, and I would like to thank all of you from the bottom of my heart. What is a writer without readers? The same as Vinyl without Octavia: nothing. So in conclusion, thank you to all my readers: you're why I write.

Anyway, onto why I'm crossing my fingers. As I've said, my story is moderately successful. I feel like this might not be the case for very long. My story has gained a large amount of momentum, which could very well push it out into the "main-stream" of stories that grace the top-stories list.

Of course, I don't know how this site works with top-stories, but I can hope, can't I?
