I continued to feel a bit rubbish generally, but today I feel a bit better. It's probably only just because yesterday was so bad today seems better than it is, or temporary for whatever reason, like eating too many Bournville buttons earlier, always cheering, but anyway, it's nice while it lasts, and you never know. I might not feel flat for a day or so at a time. I have heard it happens.

I am at least at the editing stage of the latest assignment and can maybe write meme flashfic now, who knows? XD (Still hunting a willing victim Ameripicking beta yet again if anyone feels particularly brave/kind.)

1. swordzsorcery linked to the amazing blog post The Chairs of Blake's 7. It's great. (I don't know why it's so great, either, but it really really is.)


2. New exchange relevant to some people's interests round here, even if obv. too scary for the likes of me (although the fact that you can specify Gothic as a tag is almost tempting. almost): multifandomhorrorexchange


3. I posted the two random meme ficlets I did from a little while to AO3 and thanks to their new hits count policies, for a moment there one of them had 2 kudos and 0 hits, which surely has to be an exceptional hits:kudos ratio. XD

Ha, ha an excellent kudos ratio indeed! Can bots kudos fic? My Discworld fic has had lots of (guest) kudos and I don't think that many can be interested.

I'm pretty sure bots can't kudos things, so if someone's liking your fic, they're a person! <3

I'm not used to popularity!

The most relatable! I agree in that feeling better is nice while it lasts. I have also heard that it's possible to feel well for an entire day... who knew? ;) (Also: I googgled Bournville buttons and now I want some!)

Take care! <3

Bournville buttons are barely chocolate, really (Kraft's evil ways on buying up Cadbury's are a sad thing) but they are still very nice. I'd send you some if I could!

[theseatheseatheopensea]

They do sound quite evil! And delicious! ;)

CHAIRS IN SPAAAAACE!

Pfft to Bournville buttons! That's not real chocolate. :p Montezuma buttons, or Doisy & Dom buttons, are bestestest. Both 70% dark (and dairy free), and annoyingly hard to get hold of whilst in lockdown!

I'm glad you're feeling a bit better. More betterer tomorrow please.

[thisbluespirit]

Well, I have a milk allergy so, Bournville aside, it's very hard these days to find anything much under 70% I can eat and tbh, I prefer 55% max. I do curse Kraft and their evil ways of reducing the cocoa percentage in main Bournville because YES I CAN TELL THE DIFFERENCE YOU BASTARDS but OTOH sometimes you want actual easy to eat junk chocolate that doesn't make you hyper after one bite because it's like 75%, and Bournville buttons are top notch for that, second only to Bournville chocolate orange bars. ;-p

I'm glad you're feeling a bit better. More betterer tomorrow please.

Pfft, only one or two days better at a time is permissable! I have no idea how people go on with all that energy to do stuff all the time. Like they're not exhausted by getting up in the morning and don't get a headache if they read a chapter of a book? It's very hard to believe in.

That is indeed an exceptional hits:kudos ratio! It's basically infinity, right?

Sorry you've been feeling poorly. *hugs* But glad you've been better today, at least.

[thisbluespirit]

It soon righted itself, but it was quite impressive while it lasted. (If it was infinity, it was shorter than I expected. XD)

And thanks! As with you, I have my own different way of not feeling well most of the time, but sometimes its worse and sometimes it's better.

[dimity_blue]

That is an utterly amazing hits:kudos ratio! If anyone deserves it, you do.

I hope you continue feeling better and better.

[thisbluespirit]

Thank you! And I know for a fact that I won't this week. But next? Who knows? *hugs*

[oracne]

I LOVE THAT CHAIRS POST. It is exactly the kind of geekery I most admire and treasure.

[thisbluespirit]

It's true dedication, it really is.

[paynesgrey]

I'm glad you're feeling better.
Good luck with your editing and writings. Take care, dear.

[thisbluespirit]

Thank you! ♥ The betterness didn't last, as I suspected, but it'll come again another day some time, I'm sure.
