Congrats on your fics! I'm really glad Secret Wars was eligible this year--sometimes getting certain comics approved can be a struggle.

"rushed treat > no treat."

I know the feeling. I wrote one fic that I really wasn't satisfied with, but went ahead and posted it anyway, and now I'm cringing at the thought. The recip was gracious, which I really appreciate, but I do sort of feel bad for putting her in that position.

Still, if nothing else, I think the recips are glad someone was inspired by their letter/request to write them the character(s)/pairing(s) they wanted.
