Gasp! An update!

[gardendoor]

Sorry for the looooong absence, guys, and equally sorry to say I'm not fully back yet. Grad school is over, but I'm working 12-hour days at my job and don't see any kind of relief in sight. No time for writing any time in the near future

Hey, lovely to see you again - and good news about the fic uploading. I hope that life is treating you well barring the whole twelve hour day thing. :-)

[gardendoor]

Thank you, lovely to see you, too! What have you been up to the last few years?

[mab_browne]

Still writing TS. I'm not mono-fannish precisely (I've branched out into Starsky and Hutch under another pseud) but I don't think that anyone is ever going to describe me as fickle. *g* I've done some lovely collaborations with an artist called helvetica4ever who draws gorgeous line art. Well worth checking out if you have a spare moment in the over-taxed days.

Family is pottering along, with various ups and downs. The eldest is nearly 21, the other two are well and truly teenagers. My mother went into a rest home in stressful circumstances, but is comparatively settled now. I became an aunt for the first (and probably only time) last year. Spouse and I are still spouse and I. ;-)

Oh, and LJ did a revamp which removed the preview feature ::eyeroll::, so sorry for the corrected message....

Cool! I'll go check out the collabs. And congrats on becoming an aunt! Sounds like you're at least taking th various bits of family craziness with good humor; I hope your mom is continuing to adjust well.

And hey, I like the fact that we can edit now. I hated having to delete and repost comments every time I noticed something just *after* I posted a comment (which, ironically, *still* just happened!)

Awww - it's so lovely to see you here again! RL is a real pain when it gobbles up most of your time - but we'll still be here when things get easier for you. *blows kisses your way*

[gardendoor]

Oh, I totally agree, and I'm so looking forward to rejoining fandom! *hugs*

OMG I was just thinking about you the other day! I'm really happy for you that Grad school is over and that you have a job -- even one that works you for 12 hour days. *g*

:::HUGS:::

[gardendoor]

*hugs back* How funny! Thank you, I'm definitely aware that despite the problems, I'm in a much better position than a lot of the people I graduated with. But I'm also looking for something that will be a little more sane and leave me time to have a life of my own.

What have you been up to? How's life going? How's your writing?

Good afternoon! I was looking through (very very very old) crack!van recs and found the names of a pair of fics I have been looking for for MONTHS. I'm trying to find out if you have ANY idea where or if they still exist anywhere:

Auld Lang Syne and Space Between by Adelheide (possibly my favorite i-man fics on record).

If you have any ideas, thoughts or clues, I would so greatly appreciate it.

yours sincerely
daroos

I like those two as well. When Geocities was going down, I saved all my favorite Geocities fic to my drive, but you can try Reocities, which saved a lot of Geocities pages, or plug the URLs into the Wayback Machine, which preserves a lot of dead and revised pages. The urls are:

http://www.geocities.com/invisible_man_show/FanFiction_AuldLangSine.html
http://www.geocities.com/invisible_man_show/FanFiction_SpaceBetween.html

Good luck!

OMG I just found it using Reocities! I did a dance - seriously a dance! It is now safely saved on my harddrive so I don't have to do the Internet Mambo again - WHOOO! Thanks so much for the links - I never would have gotten this without them!
