Wow!
As of this moment, Charm Offensive has seven hundred hits on the AO3. And forty-five of those people definitely liked it since they left positive comments/kudos. Not to mention the feedback I've had here and over on the livejournal comm I posted it to. (And in RL! Thank you again to my pre-readers of Friday night.) This is the advantage of writing in a fandom that's in the middle of a popularity explosion.
The last time a story of mine was this popular was Ten Thousand Candles. It amuses me that the two stories have the same basic plot line - 'Charles Xavier gets on with his life after having a Very Bad Day' - but it plays out in two very different ways *g*.
I know it's been a long time since I posted much of anything, and this was a real confidence boost. There is a reason why Charles is my One True Character. (Even though, for a change, Charm Offensive wasn't from his POV.)
Now I need to get on with my other, less cracktastic First Class bunnies and my X-Men ficathon story. I'm hoping whoever got my prompts is half as happy with them as I am with mine - I've got a choice of three I could write easily enough. The one that attracts me most would require an actual Plot, but I think I might actually be able to manage it anyway.
