Cyberwoman Ianto, I need to hear those beautiful Welsh vowels!
Sleeper Jack: Come on! Have a little faith, with a dashing hero like me on the case, how can we fail? [silence] Ianto: ...He is dashing, you have to give him that.
Reset Martha: So...what's his "dabbling" like? Ianto: ...Innovative. Martha: Really! Ianto: Bordering on the avant-garde. Martha: Wow! Ianto: Oh yeah... [stares into space] Huh... [snaps out of it] So, should we get your cover story sorted? Martha: [delighted] Absolutely!
CoE Ianto: [shaking his head] It's not that. It's my job. It's... difficult. It's... [hesitates] He is very handsome.
That's kinda how I feel about it. I gave up on trying not to start new stories a long time ago. I've lost way too many good ideas. Better to have them in progress than lost forever.
LJ is a pain to post on. It's a reason I have so few fics on here these days. I get sick of trying to format them.
Titles for fics can be a pain. I hate coming up with them so much. Good luck getting the play fic posted. Does sound like the coat fic is making progress for you.
Creepy guy, it turns out, is posted to downtown for pretty much the whole of July at this point. But it also turns out that he's really super nice, too. So I'm not nearly as worried about working with him now. It's weird how people can give you a totally wrong first impression like that. He's still sort of creepy, but I think that's just how he is. At least I'll have Sherre back soon. I really miss working with her, and the pair of us work really well together.
The Coat fic is sort of finished, I might try to fluff it up a bit though. It was exactly 1000 words, but I added a bit to the end. It's what I wanted though, I'm using the title of Guy Clark's song - Like A Coat From The Cold. Love that song, it inspired the fic =)
I'm always making notes for stories and writing bits of them - got lots of snippets in notebooks as well as the officially started fics! After the bingo is done I'll still have plenty to work on!
Isn't it always odd and fun when a story comes out to a word count like an even thousand or, in my case, 60606. I dunno what's up with that one. I weighed myself the other day. 166.6. I'm seriously starting to be a bit freaked out.
Awesome that the fic worked out for you in the end. Song inspired fics are always fun to write, especially when they turn out to be close onto or exactly what you wanted.
Sounds like you really will. I'm not actively watching anything other than Ghost Adventures and AfterShocks and I can't do fic for them. I really need to get to work on some of my fic pieces, but I'm so focused on my novels it's sort of hard. I just know that when I finally watch AoS that I'll be hit hard with new bunnies.
Yeah, it was a nice surprise. Duncan asked me how it went with him yesterday and I was happy to say fine. It's like having a father watching over you at work. Duncan is just a sweetie, but I'd want him next to me if things went bad. He said the same thing about me today, which made me blush.
Eeep! That's too many sixes! I had one come out at 9999 words once, lol! Just could not get that last word to make an even 10,000. The coat fic is going down well, it's only a little over 1000 words, but I'm happy with the end result. Written most of the last fic today. Some fine-tuning to do and it needs an ending too...
Bugger, just missed the auction I was waiting on, lol! No one bought it, so it might get re-listed. I'm always doing that, getting distracted by emails! Ah well, better luck next time!
Sounds like you're really lucky with your colleagues! I'm so pleased for you =)
I pulled out a parking permit today, for a doctor joining the hospital, and it was 0666. I said "I'm not giving you that one" and put it back and everyone just looked at me. They all got it when I told them what the number is. I'm seriously getting worried about all these sixes showing up in my life.
Oh my lord, that's funny and frustrating at the same time. I think I would have found a place for a "the" or something just to get it evened out.
Distraction by e-mail is a dangerous thing. :) Hope it does get relisted for you next week or soon in the future, at any rate.
I'm so lucky with these boys. They make work a pleasure, even when people around us are being stupid or frustrating.
Item is re-listed already. i know it's a CD but I can't remember... Oh, yes I can, Mickey Newbury. Hopefully I won't get distracted this time, they don't come up at a reasonable price very often. I have a backlog of cataloguing to do, stacks of CDs. Haven't had tome with all the writing.
Goodness, that Doctor was lucky you didn't give him that permit - it would have freaked me out, I'm not fond of 6 anyway. 13 doesn't bother me, but... *wibble*
I tried, but I couldn't find anywhere to add even a 'the'. It's like that sometimes, lol! I edited a story today and managed to add over 500 words, lol! It needed a better ending than the one it had.
Not long before you get a day off again, I think. Something to look forward to!
Good luck with the CD. And the backlog of cataloguing to get to too. I know how that can be. I'm supposed to be fleshing out a novel right now, and am slowly getting there. It's a sequel and I also have proof editing to do. Work is cutting into my writing time
( ... )
OOh, three days in a row, whatever will you do with yourself with no work? LOL!
I find myself trying to edit 6s out of my wordcounts sometimes, lol! I'm mostly not superstitious, but I don't know why I just try to avoid that number as much as possible.
Missed 2 auctions yesterday trying to post my fic to LJ *sigh*
Hope you get time to work on the editing and writing. i need to do my fan_flashworks piece, and some drabbles, and edit the Miniatures fic... Tomorrow i'm gonna be busy!
Yay for a good Ghost Adventures and getting the chance to actually watch it!
Write and edit, no doubt, and keep the dogs from panicking over fireworks for the whole bloody weekend. I hate the 4th of July with a passion.
It's not a nice looking number, unless you have it written in Japanese at any rate. Then it looks like this.

Which is actually really quite pretty when written with a brush. It's said ro-ku.
Bloody fic posting on livejournal.
I managed four chapters yesterday of redrafting, so that's something. And about ten pages proofing on the other book. That led to a headache, so now my stomach is a bit sour. I'm managing to eat though, so it'll be better in a bit.
Good luck getting all your things written, edited and posted. I just know how hard posting is so I can really feel your pain on that one.
Four left to post. I didn't get any editing done yesterday because of the posting nightmare again. Today's fic was a short one so there weren't any real problems.
My stomach's a bit hit and miss at the moment, blaming stress and cold, wet weather. Summer's vanished, hailstorms forecast. I hopev eating improves your situation.
That really is a lot prettier than the English version!
Ugh! Fireworks may be pretty, but the noise and pollution are not good. Hope the pets aren't too badly affected.
Posting problems are such a pain to have to deal with. You always know exactly what you want and how you want the piece to look, and then the stupid site screws it all up.
It did, but I set myself back again with my bread and honey snack. Too much wheat at once, I think. Mum made the bread so I know it's safe for me to eat. Now to get you better weather so you can start feeling better. I'm not really one to talk though, it started raining and thundering around one here today and is still going. When they say rainy season, they MEAN rainy season.
Isn't it?
Monty and I spent an hour hiding in my parents' closet today to get him away from the thunder. I have a feeling we'll be back in there next Friday too. He doesn't like anything that makes a loud bang. Car backfire, gun shot, fireworks, or thunder. It's all the same and scary to him. The other animals are cool about it, fortunately. Monty is about all I can stand.
Poor Monty! Spending time in the closet doesn't sound fun at all.
I got the editing and headers done for the final three parter, the miniatures fic. I hope I can get my fan_flashworks fic written today, when I've done today's posting and cross-posting. One fic today, two fills tomorrow and the final section in two parts on the 30th, plus posting my blackout to the site. That's the plan anyway!
Still haven't had breakfast yet *rolls eyes* I cooked fish fingers last night, came back to edit and they burnt, set the fire alarm off! They were rather... crispy, but I ate them anyway. Charcoal is supposed to be good for the digetion, lol!
Hope the thunder stays away for a while to give you and Monty a chance to recover. Today is chilly and damp again. Can't do laundry because until we get dry weather I have no way of drying it with the heating off. =(
It's really not, and he's started shaking so badly with the thunder that not even the closet is enough to settle him down. My folks are outside, so I've got music playing loudly right now in an attempt to block the sounds for him
( ... )
I'm wearing woolly jumpers and extra soxks - it's colder indoors than out! =(
Poor Moty, I wish there was some way to explain that storms won't harm him, but maybe it's the subsonics in the rumbling unsettling his nerves.
When the fire alarm went wrong, I thought there was something wrong with my CD player, i kept adjusting the volume trying to make the horrible screeching go away, lol! Then I remembedred ther fish fingers when I smelled something *rolls eyes* I'm a genius sometimes!
I managed to get everything posted on the schedule I set myself, not just got to wait and see what (if anything) happens. No activity on the community since April is worrying.
I'll keep my fingers crossed that the tropical storms do a wide detour around you ;)
