I agree that Leverage was a Hardison, Eliot and Parker-centric episode, but that's part of why I liked it. ;)

But please don't give up on your novel! I'm waaaaay behind on reading it, mainly because it seemed like the kind of thing I'd do better at keeping straight in my head if I read it all in a short period of time, but it looks fascinating. Even if you can't get to 50k by Wednesday that doesn't really matter as long as you get it finished in your own time. *cheers you on*

but i like sophie too! and i like watching her work cons. so i kind of missed seeing a lot of her. :( on the plus side, eliot got to be cranky and kick some ass and hardison got to be a HUGE NERD and parker is always adorable and there wasn't any nate/sophie, so it's not like i was disappointed by the episode or anything. i just want a little bit of everyone, you know?

i didn't know you were reading my nanonovel! i didn't actually know anyone was still reading it.... which is totally fine, i mean it's really not that good. and the whole point of nano is to finish by the end of november, otherwise why do it? but i managed 3000 words last night, so i might actually get it done on time.

I saw that you wrote a lot of words yesterday--go you! And I read the first few days and then realized that I didn't have enough brain to remember all of the people unless I read it all at one time. :)

i seem to have this tendency to populate my fic with ALL THE CHARACTERS, and i kind of feel like i should apologize. at least there's a handy list of all the godwins, and only one of the kids is involved with anyone. but yeah. lots of people.

No, Lily had them when she rode up to the camps, at the end of ep3. (I haven't seen last night's ep yet, so I don't know what she did with them after that.)

i thought she might still have them, just because i couldn't imagine why bohannon would take them, but durant's still all "where are the maps? someone find those maps!" so i wasn't sure.

I wouldn't worry about the nanonovel timetable ... it's a good motivator but it should keep you from finishing. <3

but the whole point is to get 50k words by the end of november! altho whether or not the story is actually done is kind of irrelevant.... but i'm not worried about finishing the story - i'm just worried about making the word count. it should not be this hard! hmph, nano, hmph.

The unnecessary and completely wrong sex scene count's toward the word count even if it is completely edited out later.

well, the main character is seven, so there won't be any sex until i get to the epilogue. i mean, talk about completely wrong...!

on the other hand, sex scenes are fabulous for upping one's word count. i can't argue about that.
