the flague (flying plague)

Friends, I'm sick. I woke up at 4 this morning with a pick-ax where my right sinuses should have been and with the intense need to take the good Sudafed IMMEDIATELY. I then spend the next half hour scheming in a drugged-out haze about how to call in sick when it was a more reasonable hour of the morning. Sudafed and the remnants of Nyquil do odd

Ugh, THE SICK :/
But hooray for roommates who are also provendors of drugs and soup and tea <3
Bummed we won't see fic from you for the thing but meeeeeh, who cares about deadlines: good fic is good fic whenever it appears.
Feel better soon, lady!

To be fair, it is not exactly the cold's fault this story decided it wanted to be something like 10,000 words. That's probably my fault.

Thank you! I have now switched from desperately hoping the thing would wait until I was done to be posted, to wanting to read all the things, so I can't wait see what you all wrote.

I was wondering how things were going with you when I didn't see your name! But fic is good anytime, and I am in total sympathy with you for recalcitrant stories that refuse to be contained by preconceived notions of appropriate wordcount. I ended up having to split mine into two: part 1 (submitted), and part 2 (partly written, currently stalled).

Hit me up if you find yourself in need of readers of any kind (audiencers, prereaders, proofers, betas, cheerleaders, etc.) And feel better!

ahahahah I was just over at your post trying to formulate my own sympathetic thoughts for stories that JUST. WON'T. END.

Thank you for the very kind offer! I may take you up on the beta, because I was realizing that I've officially gone past the length I'm comfortable just throwing up and hoping everything's fine. And, actually, vice versa! I always work better in a community.

*ALL THE HUGS*

...also, this leads me to notice that I have a VARIETY of icons which make amused/sardonic faces but none which really express sympathy.

This one might if you don't know the source (of either the still or the keyword), but...

[joyfulseeker]

that icon accurately expressed my feelings upon waking up this morning and realizing I had to get up and go to work. so....

Hope you're feeling better, but at least YAY for lifesaving roommates! :)
