I am distracting myself from~stuff~

...by marathoning Buffy the Vampire Slayer (I'm coming up on the halfway point of S5) and rootling around in folders on my laptop. Tomorrow there may be excessive amounts of cleaning, I've not yet decided ( Read more... )

Love Middleman - a few pages for each universe please!

The Doctor Who I'm not sure I understand what's going on...

The Thursday Next is awesome - you capture her style extremely well, love to read more.

Suspect the DS requires knowing more than I can remember (almost nothing).

More please!

There does exist somewhere the bare-bones of a Middleman story that I fiddled with as a potential Yuletide entry (I ended up going with a Castle story), but ended up abandoning due to time constraints. I've actually been prodding at it recently (see: yesterday) and am thinking that it'll be a good way to distract myself on a transatlantic flight where I'm not going to be able to eat any of the food (upon querying AA about their 'special' meals, it appears that the concept of 'dairy-free' has escaped them, and they're not sure whether or not the flight I'll be on will have a vegan option--I have to check when I check in on the day, oy), because, uh, it's a complicated story ( ... )

aaaaand, I hit reply too soon. The Thursday Next one amuses me because I'm a gigantic wordplay dorkand I've already invented my own variety of grammasite that is integral to the plot (apostrofleas - related to bookworms, except they absorb margin justifications and excrete stray punctuation, and almost universally live in market stall signage)

Sounds like Steven Moffat on a bender :-).

Also, more Thursday Next sounds excellent. Annie and I would be happy to beta stuff for you.
