Updates Real and Imaginary

[sevendeadlyfun]

So, the remix is done and posted. Except for maybe a bit of post-beta fiddling I did which was only the inserting a few words to make a sentence flow better and I should know better but I don't and UGH! I can't handle this kind of pressure, okay? Also I can't wait for next year. This one didn't give me enough good angsting time (despite what anxiety_junkie will tell you, I hardly angsted AT ALL. Three emails is barely any angst in my book. So there.)

I'm back to grinding away at all my regular fic. I have the next chapter of Ashes open and I'm scribbling away. And by scribbling away, I mean, of course, that I occasionally will type out a sentence fragment or two, both of which I will rewrite two days from now and then erase in a week after having left the thing up on my desktop that long hoping something will come to me. So probably another month for that, unless I get struck by lightening naked James Marsters inspiration.

The Monster is recovering sort of nicely from his tonsillectomy. Still croaky and sore, but no major issues so far. His mother is not recovering so nicely. I am stuck at home inside while he recovers and IT IS KILLING ME, YA'LL. My perspective is so skewed by less than a week as a shut-in I was seriously contemplating buying a pair of snakeskin platforms. With 5 inch heels. SEND HELP (and some hot River/Doctor/Amy porn).

I'm anxiously awaiting the arrival of my latest few comics issues so I can see what everyone finds so objectionable. It's nice to see some stirrings on the comics side of the fandom (even if they are mostly negative). Now where's all the comics fic hanging out? I can't ever find any, apart from some very tentative Buffy/Satsu. I feel like I'm the only writer doing comics fic (which I know is patently untrue but it sounds appropriately dramatic).

Update me, flisties? Everyone ready for....ya know, that big upcoming thing? SIGH. It's the solitude. It's unhinging me.

Man, do I feel this remark. Thankfully, I've got the fics written for my spring_with_xan day. Hopefully now I can concentrate on my summer_of_giles fic. (I signed up for these why, again?)

I've read up to #34 of the Buffy, not sure of the # on Angel, comics. I'm pretty much witholding judgment on both until the end of the "series". I've written a couple of "comics" (sorta-compliant) fics, mainly Buffy ones. But, it's based on stuff earlier in the season. I don't blame the direction of the comics for my lack of more write-y during this time frame, just my muse in general. Seems she's gone on an extended vacation - the wench.

Can I just say that it seems like it's been awhile since I've visited your journal, or have you added a new header/layout lately? Pretty!

*nods* Yes, this is true. There was a surprising lack of angst this year, definitely.

Well, angst from you, anyway. The fic itself was pretty angsty. :P

Well, I can link you to some mock!fic, but I'm afraid the comic aren't really material you can base the good stuff on.

Your being stuck at home whilst the boy recovers makes me want to write a story in which Darla for some reason is thrust into the maternal caregiving role with Spike.

Maybe in my AU!verse, when he's stuck in the wheelchair, because to me that would have a lot of snark and humour potential, but I'd actually really like it to be when he was a fledge...

I miss you and hope things are going all right and you got out of the house and aren't in danger of shoe extremes.
