Earth 'not at risk' from collider

Sep 09, 2008 22:32

I don't know what it says about me that I'm not the slightest bit concerned that the earth may go up in a puff of smoke tomorrow. Or get sucked into a something, I think is the problem. Either way, I'm not convinced I'd be too bothered. We'd most likely not have time to notice anyway, right? I guess it'd be annoying to miss the Torchwood Radio PlayRead more... )

See, there was a whole thing about the black hole machine on 'Mock the Week' and that somehow made me feel better. I guess if we all disappear it doesn't matter so much ...?

Took me an hour with Bartlett's and my Smiths palylists to figure out a title for the Chroma competition piece. And then I just gave it the same kind of name as one of the Porn Battle fics. Sigh. It's the *little* things.

Alright, meme. Hopefully this isn't immediately obvious, but nor do I think it's sneaky enough.

You’re still little, he thought wistfully, mentally measuring out the hand span of Molly’s small paw in his.

I just hate titles so much. They're so much harder than any other part, which seems ridiculous to me. Once you've finished the story, surely it shouldn't be so difficult to summarise it's themes real quickly in a pretty way?

*g* That's 'Seven for a Secret' - the section with Toby on the phone with Molly and Huck. Molly says something like 'like we did when we were little'. Care to try again? ;)

You would think. But lately that has really not been my experience. For porn, sure. For serious stories, not so much. *pout*

Dammit! You are too clever for me. *g* (I'd just been re-reading that one lately and loving it a lot. And thinking I should leave you the excessively overdue feedback for it sometime ... )

Okay, um ...

Ten pages, front and back. Roughly two thousand words which had belonged to Sam and now belonged to both of them.

I suspect I fail at sneaky.

I can't even get titles for my porn. Maybe this is why I like five times fic so much - they title themselves!

I can never decide whether I love that one or am somewhat disappointed in it. It was definitely supposed to be longer. And I have a document called EmFeedback, keeping track of what I owe you, so no worries :)

Oh, and 'Secret Messages in the Carved-Out Spaces'?
