thanks and bewilderment

[electricalgwen]

I stapled my finger, while repairing the stapler (so Elder Son could create something out of the recycling). Ow ow ow. Also, I can't get The Glory of Love out of my head.

LJ has not managed to figure out why I still cannot load certain journals, although someone has asked some relevant questions and, I hope, gone away to think about it.

Two years ago we were in Finland in early June. I had work stuff until at least 6 each night, but it was so light that we could still do all kinds of walking, climbing and sight-seeing after supper. The cathedral in Helsinki stays open until midnight in midsummer. For some reason, this year seems to be lighter than usual here, in these longest days.

Aftermath won Best Short in the Mystical Orgins Corner in Round 8 at the Fang Fetish Awards (some time ago, but I forgot) and has been nominated for Best of Rare Male Slash Pairings in Round 9. Thanks to whoever keeps putting it forward! :)

Battlestar Galactica season 4! Yowza! I am having a ball this week talking meta with madame_meretrix, at possibly excessive length, and now feel the need to spend the evening wandering around looking for new icons. Speaking of icons, ubiquirk made me this Torchwood one! Yummy, no? Thanks, Ubi!

Two more papers have appeared in print. This is good, but I now have nothing in the pipeline. (Hence, my evening would be better spent not looking for icons... but I have Very Little Brain at the moment.)

What am I going to write for the lynnevitational?

If it's at all interesting to you, I'd love to see you take a stab at Xander/Dawn.

Hmm. That is definitely an interesting thought. I'd have to think about it a bit...

Congrats on the award!

I have my idea for lynnevitational, but it's not happening yet.

Do you have a time frame you're leaning towards?

Thank you! :)

I think I may try and get to grips with one of two stories that have been languishing for a while; one is S/X in probably late s4, while the other is post-series. Neither of them is really jumping up and down and clamouring to be written at the moment, but they are ones I'd like to get finished.

yay! congratulations! so many good things! and yes, oh man. i've been having SO much fun chatting about BSG! it's nice to be so enthusiastic about something new, and getting to share it! :D

Yes! It's really a new thing for me, because I didn't find this thing called fandom until BtVS/AtS were way over, and although I've watched various other shows with interest I haven't felt the need to get all meta-y or fic-y over them (Torchwood, House, Bones...) It's a new experience to be in an open fandom. :)
