Round 39, Hour 44

[thisbluespirit]

So, how has this hour been for you? Have there been words? Penguins? Pasta? Fish? How's it going?

(Forgive my slight absentee-ism; my timing on the getting dinner part turned out to be not timely, but I'll be back presently.)

hullo! i am writing a fic about the man in your icon! not many words have been produced today, but i am hopeful that it will finish before the end of fic_rush...

you won't be able to read this one, though, because it has a badly written sex scene towards the end :(

btw, thank you for your s&s recs. i will respond in detail once i have acutally... looked at them <3

Hello! Welcome to fic_rush, with quite a few hours to spare! And, yay, B7 fic! (I'm sure the sex scene is not badly written.)

I got very excited by this comment, btw, because I saw it in my inbox and assumed I'd used my Silver icon. But more Avon fic is a good thing too, and slightly more likely than you abruptly writing sex scenes with Silver in. (I need help, sorry. :lol:)

Don't worry. It wasn't as if you asked for them. I just thought I would (and then it took longer than it should have done). Just bookmark it for whenever, or ignore it. ;-)

it would be really cruel of me to write a silver fic and then put sex in it so you couldn't read it :p

[thisbluespirit]

Confession: I would try and read it anyway. (Although the one Silver fic that does exist with sex in, I can't read. I've tried three times, but I have brain asplosion about a third in on each attempt. It's v annoying, because it's v well written and has interesting character-y stuff. But there are things I do not want to imagine, because of my wimpish nature.) I bet I would be able to read yours.

ETA: Er. Not that I want Silver pr0n. *hides* I mean, it was bad enough that one time with that radio play. There are some things that should never happen in a radio play with David Collings in... 0_o

[aralias.livejournal.com]

no, i didn't think you did, don't worry. although i am amused by the lengths to why your david collings love will take you.

[thisbluespirit]

It's just Silver! My David Collings thing never leads me to attempt to read explicit Deva-fic. But when I got into S&S there were only a tiny number of Silver fics (and indeed only about 30 fics on AO3?) That there are now a lot more is, er, quite a bit my fault, although happily some were neither written by or for me...

/o\

(The radio play had NO WARNINGS.)

Lost Spook managed to read my own naughty Vila/Vala story, once I'd reassured her that it pretended to be naughtier than it actually was. ;)

[thisbluespirit]

:-) Indeed! You were v cunning and had me totally fooled by having the more explicit stuff at the beginning and the end, the bits where I look to see if it's okay and skip through stuff.

I have even one found an explicit fic I could actually read, but it was only once.

I think I probably need counselling, but I refuse to worry about it, really.

I got sucked into reading captainawkward but I managed to rescue myself and tweak a scene. I added 25 words and figured out the following scene.

This will probably be my last hour for a wee while as there is new Foyle's War on TV soon.

[thisbluespirit]

Well done! Sounds like some much-needed fiddly bits got done. Enjoy Foyle's War!

[thisbluespirit]

Well done! Oh, and you TEASE. :lol:

Hello! We are once again here at the same time. WHAT A SHOCKING COINCIDENCE. ^_^

I woke up and ate breakfast - or something like that (I had a fashionable lie-in, okay? *g*) - and now I think I'll do some more tag-brainstorming for my Newberys comm. I'm dreaming up all sorts of fancy tag categories that may or may not prove workable long-term. ;-)

[thisbluespirit]

The universe may not be able to handle our continued convergence. Don't worry, I'll disappear again next hour - I'm being the Scarlet Pimpernel of the Mod Team this time round. ;-)

Tags! Tags make the world go round! (Well, probably not, as scientists would no doubt tell me, but they are useful.)

"We seek her here, we seek her there,
We 'Rushers seek her everywhere.
Is she at home, is she in a library (oook!),
That demmed elusive mod lost_spook?"

(I know the third line doesn't scan, but I had to squeeze the rhyme in. *g*)

[thisbluespirit]

:lol: Lines where people suddenly have to sing things that don't fit are always the best.

I must post again and then log off - on Sundays my friend comes round and we watch Pushng Daisies; it's all v nice and like being a normal person. \o/

[justice-turtle.livejournal.com]

Aw, lovely! *\o/* I hope you have lots of fun with your friend and don't get tired out. ♥

[lolmac]

How about:

"We seek her here, we seek her there,
We 'Rushers seek her everywhere.
The library may hide her (oook!),
That demmed elusive mod lost_spook!"

[thisbluespirit]

This is now my theme tune.

Both verses. ;-D

[justice-turtle.livejournal.com]

That works! :D Filking is haaaard. *g*

[lolmac]

Teamwork helps! *high-five*

I ended up eating writerly pasta after all, so now let's put it to good use! *opens Word doc*

[thisbluespirit]

Writerly pasta! Woo! Now you will be able to tackle anything! Go for it! *\o/*

[lullabymoon]

I added about 340 words and am now up to the very last bit of the rough draft. Should get that finished later on but now I'm off to watch tv do research.

[thisbluespirit]

Well done! :-)

[laurie-ky.livejournal.com]

Thanks for the cheerleading. Now it's thundering out, so I might have to shut down the computer. We'll see.

current editing progres. 42978/59820 words. I couldn't get a beta to look this over, so I'm being extra picky myself.

Congratulations! That's a lot of words covered now - sounds as though you've broken the back of it.
