your days are numbered

- Happy Memorial Day to other Americans on my f-list. I watched the neighbors ready their grills and listened to a long excerpt from Tim O'Brien's The Things They Carried on the radio this afternoon.

I feel guilty sometimes. Forty-three years old and I'm still writing war stories. My daughter Kathleen tells me it's an obsession, that I should

I would like female-centric fic lists! But you should come up with a way to make it not epically difficult on yourself. ♥

♥ I think I'm going to do it! I've been having a lot of fun finding stories that fit the bill; I just have to at least occasionally remind myself about time management (not my best skill, unfortunately).

Have been thinking of you -- hope you're feeling better.

um, hi! you totally don't know me but I am friending you because I really like your rec posts and your fic. just to let you know, so you don't start wondering who the random new stalker is. =)

ps: I wish to ask this in the most non-pressuring way possible! there was a speed-skating fic that I am pretty sure you wrote, because I recced it when I was in my post-Olympics fannish haze, and it is gone now, which makes me sad because it was amazing. will it be coming back ever/under flock/in a comm/otherwise? I just got this impulse to renew my JR/Apolo love, and so I went looking, and, well, you probably know how that goes. obviously I will respect your decision completely regardless of what it is! just letting you know that at least one fangirl out there loved it to bits and would like to read it again.

omg, how much do I suck? the answer is clearly A LOT. I'm so so sorry it took me so long to get back to you. /o\

as far as the speed skating fic goes, thank you for asking in the most non-pressuring way possible, and thank you for the lovely flattery. :) I do have it locked down, and I'm not really comfortable unlocking it, but (I feel so silly offering!) if you want, I could email you a copy or something. just let me know.

haha, no, seriously, I am clearly the queen of late replies, please do not worry. um, I would really love to reread a copy of that fic, but not if it makes you uncomfortable at all, I really mean that. (I can be reached at parva.meretrix (at) yahoo, but like I said: only if you're sure you're okay with it. and I really hope that we'll get to talk more regardless!)

sent! Let me know if it somehow doesn't show up or something.
