see the thorn twist in your side
I'm poking at the girl!Sam five things fic, and I'm wondering how it works for other people - do you try to keep the sections of similar lengths? Start with the shortest and lead up to the longest? Or is length not a factor?
Do the sections progress thematically? Chronologically (not that they are all the same story, because obviously, five things stories are generally made up of five different AUs, but chronologically where they would have appeared and/or branched off from the canon timeline)? From least plausible to closest to canon? The way they seem to read best? Or is it just the order you thought of them?

wow. apparently 20 years ago today, Joshua Tree came out.
*feels old*
That was the first time I saw u2 (I've seen them three times), and the third concert I'd ever been to (first was Springsteen for Born in the USA, second was loverboy, and that was totally my sister's idea, and the hooters opened for them, and my brother used to see them every time they appeared in the NYC area, and that was the first and last time we all three went to a concert together until we saw Springsteen for The Rising a couple years ago, and third was u2. That's a pretty good way to start off a concert resume).

And wow again. Today is Administrative Assistants Day, but with the way things have been, nobody's really celebrated, and even though I usually get awesome flowers from my guys, I didn't this year (I'm thinking they forgot the same way I did). But I just got a little vase from the new people I will be supporting, and they totally didn't have to do that - I mean, today is literally the first day I've done any work for them - but it's really nice that they did. With a little "welcome aboard" note.
