Hello fic-rushers!!!

From what I've seen we're all occupied in various ways today with fic and outlines and cookies. I've just finished making two doughs and am very happy to be sitting down for a little bit.

How are you all doing? You has yummies and words?

270 words and something else read over!! Alas, Merlin is on in a minute so this hour will not be nearly as successful.

Merlin! Please tell me if they actually progress in any direction? I'm so disappointed with them this year. :(

Well, thb, I've not watched the last couple of epes before this, and I only watched the start of the series for Nathaniel Parker based reasons so I can't really say. Except we're getting to the sword in the stone bit and Camelot has had it's yearly invasion.

I'm contemplating whether I want to finish up my last patches of my Yuletide fic or leave that for tomorrow and start on the brick that is Smiley Vs Karla which I just got yesterday.

I'll think I'll leave the fic for tomorrow. I need to start on my brick.

I believe she's referring to the Le Carré trilogy in a single volume.

Indeed!

Hey, it's 1500 pages. It's a brick.

The only problem was carrying it from my parents' house to Jerusalem... it must weigh more than my laptop! :D

*sigh* I know. I should switch. I just... it's hard. Psychologically. Cos, y'know, booooks!

Well, you don't have to switch entirely. *is very fond of Kindle* *would not give up paper copies of Sherlock Holmes or Lord of the Rings for anything* XD

I've found that I make a lot more progress through brick-sized books on the Kindle than I do in paper-version, though... because if, say, I get bored of The Three Musketeers for a month or two, I can come back and (1) it's still there and (2) my placemarker hasn't fallen out. *g* Also, you know, I got it for free off Project Gutenberg and there's no library waiting for me to return it - so it's very economical.

For re-reading short-story collections, though, I much prefer paper, because I can flip around through the pages and just read snippets. :-)

We also call those books 'doorstops'.

That's the word I was looking for! Meh. I remembered there's a term for that in English. Then I couldn't remember it and opted for 'brick'.

3659 words since my last check-in! Finished another 5-times drabble set, finished a chapter for a wip that sat on my harddrive for months, poked some elves with sharp sticks and edited some additional scenes into the LotR/Doctor Who crossover my beta sent back last night.

YAWP!

Also, tea! ^^

Yes, I kind of sort of must have hit a stride. :D Totally hyper now, and my brain is fried, so I'll take an hour off and go play some LotRO. Nothing like monster killing when you want to relax. :D

(*dishes out tea for everyone!*)

Hmm. I am now marking time till bedtime really. Mustn't do any more concentratey things like writing. Or too much typing. Or icon-making, or things.

I'll hang around here and make a nuisance of myself for half an hour, how does that sound?

Sounds lovely! XD
