Right now ...

[blamebrampton]

I have two fics to update, one new one to sketch, a novel to work on, a house to clean, five fics open in tabs to read, about 40 recs outstanding and still 2/3 of hd_hols to look at.

What am I doing?

I am obsessively renewing my email in case the hd_worldcup listings come out. Because I am now officially keen, and both the teams I put as first and second choice are filled with really really magnificent people including actual people I know. I think that age, nationality and natural stoicism aside, I may very well be squeeing.

Which means I will not make it through the ballot and will be reduced to tidying my house. Oh well, I find all the best stuff that way ...

Raining here, too, I am so happy! My garden may yet live!

Of course you're talented, so shush. You will be great. And the animagus theme is so exciting, as is Harry/Cedric. I am doomed never to catch up on my fandom reading, and may as well abandon all hope of re-reading Tolstoy. (I'm actually happy to drop War and Peace off the list, once was enough!)

Will watch Torchwood. Jack improves everything.

Yay! Rain just means more weeds for our garden, but I still love it. Rain is so dramatic.

It is! I started the Harry/Cedric today, and I'm itching to start on inspired, but we don't get our assignments 'til Feb. Occasionally I do something that I don't hate, but it's very rare. But I did get an odd review today, which I am almost absolutely sure was supposed to be complimentary, but confused me. It said that I was a drama geek, and that my ending to my big chaptered snarry reminded him/her of how they narrate in the theatre. They also said that an indie film could be made out of my fic. Now, personally, I like indie films and I take this as a compliment, but I'm not entirely sure...

My problem is that I never have enough time to read all the books that I want to. All my time is being devoted to reading fanfic I have been trying to for ages, and reading the many books I have bought over the last few months. Plus, my friend wrote a 90 000-word fic that I swore I would read. But I'm not loving it so it's hard to get into.

He does. And Ianto. Mmm...Ianto.

I saw the upcomings on the ep I downloaded ...
Tosh: So it's the end of the world, we're all going to die ...
Owen: Right. We may as well all have sex.
Ianto: Just when I thought the end of the world couldn't be any worse.

Is it still raining down there? Tis here and is lovely!

I think that they were going for a compliment that they could not carry off. I would have said that your work has a satisfying original drama to the actions and narratives without ever falling into dramatic cliches.

And 90K fics deserve all the delays they get!
