I was really hoping you would just keep posting :D

:D I've got a handwritten draft of the next section - TBC soon, depending on how much I slack off on job hunting!

I was thinking of going over there and rambling around seeking my fortune after I graduate...everyone tells me it's a bad idea because OMG IT'S WAY WORSE OVER THERE. But I want, I wantsss D:

I hope it's not actually way worse. gl to you anyhow

It's definitely worth a good long vacation or adventure, especially if you have couches to crash on and stretch out funds. The people are friendly, there's history and culture lying around all over the place, the food's great, it's considered properly social to drink six pints of cider with your boss after work on a Monday and throw up on her/his shoes...all good stuff. A must-have experience, in fact.

But, after a year or so, you can't take another blathering conversation about shopping and diets, you can't get a decent permanent job with your non-UK education, and the basics of life (ie booze...er, and rent, but mostly booze) drain away most of your paycheck. Seeing a pretty castle nearly every day makes up for a lot of that, tho :) (Oh, and the UK-born husband, heh.)

This story is easily my favorite of the kinkmeme, so it's awesome to be able to add actual posts to my memories now (I'm weird and OCD like that). The detail's fucking intense and beautifully staggering, and I can never stress enough how much I love the way you write Laurie, especially her banter with K.

I'll join you in the OCD club - I've delurked with this only because it was so hard to find the first half of this on the old kink meme when I lost my files. They needed to be under my control, damn it! :)

I'm glad you're enjoying the detail - sometimes I feel like it's nothing but worldbuilding, so my own entertainment :)

Heh...thanks :D Glad you like it.

OMG this was YOU. I should have known. I've been following this from the start, one of my alltime favorite series from kinkmeme, and I can't wait for the next bit. Oh my god. I lvoe you.

[mustinvestigate]

Guilty :) I'm glad you've been enjoying it - I wasn't sure if anyone was actually reading it or if I was just entertaining myself :) Hopefully I'll have another big chunk to post over the weekend...crossing fingers the time management gods are kind.

[glasspyramids]

Um, oh god, I am kind of mesmerized by this. In a "Weren't you going to bed in bed three hours ago but oh god can't stop reading" sort of way.

I was just wondering the other day if there was a way to make Adrian Veidt hotter. Veidt-Ashpool: my argument is invalid.

I'll just be over here, dreaming of conversations between Adrian and Wintermute, with JARVIS stopping by to say hi.

[mustinvestigate]

Not the next chapter, but the one that follows will be Adrian-focused, so I hope I do right by him :) Glad you're enjoying this - it's gotten a little out of hand for a 'you can't possibly write that!' dare :)
