I love the smell of beeswax in the afternoon.

[panik]

Look at me, on my arse, drinking a rather fine Rioja in the middle of the day, how can this be? I finished cleaning, the house gleams like seven kinds of shiny, had a shower and, smelling sweetly of Penhaligon's Bluebell and in my pj's I thought, why not?

I haven't updated for a bit. progress on all ongoing projects is hardly impressive, but steady. No Zokuto word meter because... O:! WHY???

That naughty slice of creamy lit called Entanglement is coming along well, plot and characters taking shape nicely: 68,549 words completed of an est. 200,000 which my calculator tells me = 34.3%

That seemingly endless TS fic, Blue marches on apace, still on schedule for completion in May:
92,591 words; 65%

And despite previous protestations, I may have found myself involved in a fic for Moonridge. Honest to gawd, Doctor, I have no idea how it happened! I just slipped and found myself buried inside this gratuitous piece of extreme Blair-angst! - I can tell ee I do not work alone, another TS writer of infamy and renown be involved in this appalling crime against nature. No estimates available at this time as I has no idea, my lovelies, how long twill be when tis done (why am I suddenly talking like a pirate? O:!)  Ahaharrrr! Oooh arrrr!

But now I must away for I has ficly blurb to be a writin' for this here scurvy tale, deed I do. ::hobbles off on wooden leg. Hits head on low beam due to restricted field of view caused by eye-patch. Utters most sore an' wrathful curses, arrrrrrrr.::

A clean shiny house AND lots o' writing? You deserve a glass of Rioja :)

::checks empty glass:: I'm fairly sure I need another, ho yuss.

[laurie-ky.livejournal.com]

ARGH! There be angst ahead me hearties. Batten down the hatches get ready to weather the storm.

Me, I start talking like Yoda when I go goofy.

You sound very productive, I have just hatched a plot with fluterbev about podficcing Conforming to Requirements for Moonridge, which was totally her idea, and I'm going to use some of her music in it, which will be very cool. I must now start a practice copy so I can listen to it while I work on getting my house in better shape.

Yo, ho ho and a bottle of rum (or wine)

Laurie

[fluterbev.livejournal.com]

Heh, 'twas totally your idea too! :-D

[laurie-ky.livejournal.com]

We shall share the guilt credit. And cybel has agreed to convert the Mp3 into a podbook, for those who would prefer that format, and to do the cover. I'll send her a link to your story and the art. I love that picture Loraine did and I'm pretty sure it can be used for the cover.

fluterbev is a total two-timin doxie! *g*

I fear my fics are too long to podfic, this makes me sad. o)

[fluterbev.livejournal.com]

::blows kiss in shameless doxy way::

CtR is very long too, so Laurie is a hero for podding it \o/

[laurie-ky.livejournal.com]

Oh, I intend to ask your permission too, but I haven't decided between Wind Whispering and Chasing Rainbows. Won't be any time soon, though, because I've got about six waiting in the wings right now, some of T's, some of mine, including A Fair Distance, Jane's Point of Contact and her prison fic, and one of arrowoo's, haven't decided on which one yet. Mab's Hell of a Town is recorded, but I have to edit it, which I will do when my husband returns and I won't have the house to myself to podfic.

I shall, however, be keeping my ear out for music that I think would suit either story.

Laurie

Oh, hey..!

[gillyp.livejournal.com]

I was only havin' a wee joke with Bev but gosh, I would love to have m'fics podficced! - whichever, whenever; that's ... gosh! *G*

I can't wait to hear A fair Distance; one of my most favourite 'new' TS fics.

Re: Oh, hey..!

[laurie-ky.livejournal.com]

I will love doing either one, and will probably do the other one sometime in the way, way future.

I'm not going to torment people with A Fair Distance, like I'm doing with the written story. I'm podficcing now, up to chapter eight, but I won't release the podfic till the whole dang thing is written and recorded, Ball and Chain and the as yet untitledd third arc included.

::Rolls up sleeves::

Laurie

Re: Oh, hey..!

[gillyp.livejournal.com]

I confess, I've not been following ball & chain this time - I started but I have v little time to read fic these days and kept missing bits so I'm salting it away in Word to read when it's all done. And a third part oo, hmm? ::rubs chin with thoughtful; smile:: :o)

[fluterbev.livejournal.com]

I haz G&T...

::looks shifty::

Ah. Gin

[gillyp.livejournal.com]

I'm all out, sadly. The wine is good though.

Am workin on blurb, expect update soonish (if I can stay sober)

Re: Ah. Gin

[fluterbev.livejournal.com]

I've given up trying to write today - I am just too tired. If I try to force it, it comes out crap! I am having a relaxing day instead, will have an early night, and hopefully will do loads tomorrow once I've got my energy back.

Sooper seekrit project is number one on the list... ;-)

Ah... waves hand at ya. Whatever! *g* I'm doing my best here but progress is limited. It's just a blurb, I tells ya! Why so difficult?

[snailbones.livejournal.com]

You have beeswax on your wooden leg? Won't your parrot slide off?

::worries::

[gillyp.livejournal.com]

My 'wooden' leg is actually made of a super-lightweight, high-tensile carbon fibre - don't tell the judges though, I might lose my pirating license.

The parrot is powered by Linux.

I deduce you are two rums ahead of me, my proud beauty.

::waves Old Jamaica ginger beer::

[gillyp.livejournal.com]

Ah, this is me, stone cold sober. You should see me when I've had a few.

[aerianya.livejournal.com]

Wanna come clean mine now plz? You'll have to do it around teenagers and sleeping old people though...

I think I'll pass

[gillyp.livejournal.com]

Doing it around a large, untidily rambling male is enough ta muchly. *g*

Re: I think I'll pass

[aerianya.livejournal.com]

Yeah, there's one of those too.*snerk

Re: I think I'll pass

[gillyp.livejournal.com]

You have my most abject sympathy. *g*

[betagoddess.livejournal.com]

No one deserves a little Rioja more than you.

Your posts always make me smile. Thanks! =>}

Happy to oblige hon; lifts glass - happy weekend!

Re: No one deserves a little Rioja more than you.

Thanks! We'll spend 11 hours (hope for good weather!) on the road tomorrow and have Sunday dinner with our son and daughter-in-law.

I'll be very happy to arrive, I'm sure. =>}

[luicat.livejournal.com]

Go you for cleaning! I keep thinking about it...

And yay for more fic!

And pirates.
