Fannish dream: yesterday night I dreamed that Stephen Fry was visiting my grandma and me (my grandma's been dead for a decade, but there we were, back in our old house), and we were... having tea. Which is not a British cliché in that case, we drink tea a lot here as well. Anyway, he was very nice and pleasant company, and I woke up in a really

Stephen Fry is such a hoot, you can tell me about him anytime!

Looking forward to the recs. They are beaucoup de work to pull together, and it is the lord's work.

I've been too busy with the holiday celebration here, but I will try what you've sent me either later tonight or early tomorrow. Thank you!! ::hugs:: *smooch*

Well, the main work was already done after all; I just had to copypaste them together which didn't take all that long. Now I'm just wondering whether I should go in first and fix all the broken links, of which there must be dozens. Ah, maybe I'll just post the whole bunch as it is and fix the links later one by one.

I went through the Betterbuffyfics yahoo message archives and picked out all my recs over the years

!!! That must have been a job of work, to say the least.

It's nice when the drawing isn't like pulling teeth, isn't it? Makes the whole world rosier.

It didn't take all that long. Yahoo's message search feature works fairly well, and fortunately all the recs are marked so I just had to search for the right keywords. The thing is that now I got five years' worth of recs... I imagine that at least one third of the links don't work any more. *That'd be work, to fix those... not sure, maybe I'll just leave them as they are and let people rely on their google-fu.

*nodnodnod* I have 23 drawings finished, 14 left to color, and I'm feeling relaxed. Normally I'm never relaxed in the middle of a project. I hope I can hold onto that feeling.

Congrats. The "investment" I've made in writing has not paid for itself yet, not even a good downpayment :)

As to recs, I'd just get 'em up with a big caveat about broekn links and fix 'em as you go. If people know the story title and author they can always google 'em in the meantime.

It's a long-term investment. :o)

Yeah, I really should do that. Somewhat reluctantly, but I don't fancy going through 120 links at once, many probably broken. Damn entropy, sites going down constantly. (But I just gave up my old site so I shouldn't complain.)
