I finished my first fic! (But now I am feeling sad? Is this normal?)
Post Body

I finished my first fic, it's not a long one, only about 20k, but you know it's finished.

I am kind of feeling low, though? It was supposed to be a smutty one shot, but it kind of got feelings and I really enjoyed writing it. It's a really rare pair AND a crossover so it only got the one comment, even if it got 100 kudos.

I knew I had to finish it, but I keep dragging my feet, and I thought I would feel accomplished when I did. But, I feel sad? Is this normal? Someone has felt the same? I am now reading fluffy stuff and sighing a lot because my mind made a lot of backstory and stuff for them, and a lot of ideas that just wouldn't work with a smut-fic.

What's the best way to feel better about this?
