Just a Note...

[thisbluespirit]

I'm very pleased with myself because I finished UNIT: Stardust on Saturday. Especially as it seemed to be growing into some sort of plotless, sprawling monster, I was quite relieved to find, it gave up and ended even before I expected it. I'm sure anyone still reading it will be equally relieved.

Not that I've posted it all - due to writing the split action bits completely separately I was already four and a half chapters ahead of what I'd posted. I've added two more (usual Teaspoon disclaimer applying) and will post the rest at some point when I've finished tweaking the Epilogue (that could take a while).

I'm finally free to look at what else I was writing... Well, if I have time. but it's nice. So, what else is there? I have: gosh, another Six story to finish, a Christmas fic (UNIT! Mince pies! etc.), somebody's birthday fic, can't think who or why (heh), and, generally a scary amount of other things.

Oh, and I'm also very relieved to see that calufrax seems to be back in action. And asking for reccers again. I would, but I've already done two stints this year. It seems greedy!

Well, I look forward to reading the stunning conclusion!

I'm still mulling over my Xmas fic (I want to do one); I was going to do something with UNIT, but now I think I want to do something like one of those M.R. James Xmas ghost stories. Or something.

And Calufrax wants people? I would, but I think most of the stuff I have favourited on the Spoon is stuff I got turned onto by Calufrax, so...

a) Er, thank you. Stunning? Um...

b) Sounds great. Nothing like a Christmas ghost story!

c) I'm sorry, unless that was a polite way of saying you wouldn't touch it with a barge pole etc etc, then as an excuse that's feeble and lacks even invention and wit (which I have come to expect from you). You've been recced on there I don't know how many times, so you know what that feels like and Califrax needs you!

And: even given the unlikely scenario that everything you've ever favourited has already been recced, you can flip back through your favourited authors and even if they've had all their stuff recced, you'd still have at least 5 weeks to find something, during which time new fics get posted every day (and Calufrax has been not around for weeks, too). If that fails, find someone whose stories you like on LJ and hound them till they sign up on Teaspoon (which I would *cough* never do).

Now, stop standing here dilly-dallying and go and sign up, unless you've actually got a note from your mother or you've promised to walk K9 every day for Four right about then... ;-)

(I wondered the same thing the first time I signed up, but still I found the problem was how to narrow my choices down, not the other way around. It's easy to check what has and hasn't been done if you use the author tags, but I'm sure you'd already worked that out.)

Now, I shall stop trying to sound like my Mum and go to work, but really... ;-D (And, yes, this definitely is online bullying. Sorry, but don't give me excuses, young man! :lol:)
