yay!
Well, I THINK that went well--at least, there was a very good number of people in the audience, and they were amused by my jokes (they even got the Doctor Who jokes!), and some of them asked questions after, and one of my grad-school friends (actually, Broadsword Friend!) came up to me after and proclaimed, "I wanted to ask you a question but I couldn't think of anything because it all made so much sense!" Which I believe is a good thing.
Also, someone asked me to sign a copy of my book. Which is always going to be all kinds of startling and flattering and exciting.
And then friends took me out to dinner, and we had champagne and chocolate-almond pudding pie (because it was also Pi Day!). And then I came home to find that the fabulous
raffi had made me gorgeous Erik/Charles medieval-AU art! For which I wrote comment!fic, naturally. (Thank you again, my dear, you're wonderful! Totally the best reward for academic endeavors!)
And THANK YOU to everyone who said nice things when I was nervous about this! You guys are the BEST EVER. *hugs*
Um, as a measure of gratitude, want some tiny tidbits from works-in-progress? The Erik/Charles one is this month's holiday fic, which is Easter, which of course means obligatory-sex-pollen-trope-fic. The James/Michael one is from something I'm working on forlittle_werewolf, who requested something with kids, and somehow this turned into sick!James and Michael being forced to babysit Brendan...
