fic_rush_48The penguins are off looking up nautical terms. It's not their strong suit. So while the birds are away, the writers must play. Or work. Yes, work. Very hard.
What're we getting accomplished this hour? Sleep? Ironing? Actual Writing?

Date: 2011-06-19 03:10 pm (UTC)I came with four half-finished fics - I leave with one at beta, one on the rubbish heap, one a passable Second Draft and the other a slightly more passable Third Draft. Hurrah!
Many thanks to everyone for the cheering &
distractingstimulating discussion. Good luck! I'll be back next month but now it is stupid o'clock and I must sleep. Goodnight :)no subject

Date: 2011-06-19 03:49 pm (UTC)And... *is worried* which fic is on the rubbish heap? (Hmm. Thinks about Ruth and Eleven on the rubbish heap. A thematic sequel to the one with her and Nine and the tip? ETA; Aargh. I mean Skip. The tip is the place where you have skips...)
However, I VERY much look forward to seeing the resulting other fic soon, anyway.

Date: 2011-06-20 08:00 am (UTC)A skip is a large metal thingy you hire out to put lots of rubbish in - and they also have them at centres where people can take rubbish to (usually known as the [rubbish] dump or the [rubbish] tip, but generally they have actual names like 'X Recycling Centre' or similar. By a natural connection I typed tip when I meant skip. (I don't know what the US term for skip is if it isn't skip...)
I hope you are now safely un-confuzzled by my strange Britishisms. :-D

Date: 2011-06-19 03:53 pm (UTC)Look, a cookie has come back from Hour 46 for you! (I don't know how that happened. It was probably a penguin. Or one of these ninja aardvarks I'm training up to combat them.)

Date: 2011-06-22 12:20 pm (UTC)Aw, have a lovely time. I went to the US once in 1997 to visit a uni friend who lived in Oak Harbor (and she was then at uni somewhere way across the other side of the state, so we went there to) but we went to Seattle twice we (me and my other friend) liked it so much.
