Update

I am about to run and go see GoF (I hope! I didn't buy tickets in advance, so this might be an exercise in futility) and then tonight I will run out and set up for a show that takes place tomorrow. An awful show, I know this already because I did one very recently there. The owner asked me to commit to two, and I agreed hesitantly, though normally I would not...I would do one to see how it was. But I decided to just go for it.

Let me tell you, I will *so* be bringing paper with me so that I can write. If it's anywhere near as boring as the last one, I'll be certain to have a few pages by the end of the day, at the very least.

I have finished the Smutmas story. Thank you very much, mariannelee, for doing a beta on it at the very last possible moment. I know I waited too long and then got caught up in RL stuff. But the point is, the story is much better now. I had a feeling that there was something wrong with it, and I couldn't quite put my finger on it, and being ridiculously sleep-deprived all week did not help, because I just couldn't seem to get it all together.

I've turned in the story. It's all done now. Now I just will cross my fingers and hope that people enjoy it, and that the intended recipient will be happy with it.

Even better? The relief I feel now is extraordinary. Finally I can get back to the ludicrous babblings of the Lone Sane Thought Island. Seriously, I am so glad that it's done. And I'm even more relieved that I did not sign up for any other exchanges at the same time, because I just don't have a lot of free time at this second, and I really want to do another tLS chapter.

Floating cats soon.

And another thing...

I have just received a spam email with the immortal message line For leave be sozzled testicle.

It sounds like some sort of bizarre slash exorcism.

A couple links...

For anyone who wants to sign up for the new valis_fic list on yahoo!, this is the link. It's for updates for tLS or any other ficlets that show up.

If you have a h/c story featuring SS, then please, please, please give me the link at this entry. Seriously, I'm still looking for anything and everything. Even if it only has a few chapters. Don't feel shy about reccing your own work...go ahead! I really want this to be a fairly complete list.

I didn't have time for GoF, wah! I'll have to go tomorrow after the show.

I finally received this today...and it's AWESOME. Totally awesome. I'm going to beg virtual_gravy for tips. Seriously, this is just what I need to finally be able to do some serious work on the website. I'll be able to take eBay pictures that won't suck. As much. squee! I can't wait. I'll play around with it pretty soon.
