Sears still can't find the loveseat so I now have a loaner. Cream. David just left for Boston, back late Friday, so I don't need it at the moment as I might have put on a pound or two but I still fit on one sofa thankyouverymuch.
Cold won't go away.
Like everyone on my f-list I'm depressed by what happened to Annie because of the spite that prompted it.
And writing this arc of Secretary is affecting me more than I expected because it's bringing up all sorts of memories. Don't think I've ever been so invested in a fic, but right now I'm feeling Faith's pain and it's making me feel mopey.
I just updated my web page with another 30,000 words of it incidentally, that takes it right up to date:
http://www.janedavitt.com/Sec9.html
And, minor pout/whine, but sheesh, the stats just for this month on Secretary on my web page alone show there are hundreds of people reading it. After the pairings page, the individual parts of Secretary are the highest hit. Feedback from the handy link at the end of each part? None. There are a handful of loyal feedbackers at the f/b thread here
http://www.livejournal.com/users/darling_effect/106588.html?page=7#comments
who've given continual, supportive, detailed f/b and pimp it on their LJ and we love them for it and are ecstatic when it happens, but other than that? Not so much response.
This fic's over 350,000 words long. It's been updated daily, two or three times daily mostly, since June and there are four of us who've pretty much stopped writing anything else to do it. I'd say it was worth feedback myself and sometimes I get a little ticked it doesn't get more. Which is the LJ equivalent of non-PC to say, but there you are. I said it. Flame me. Go ahead.
I know you can't force f/b. I know as a human AU we never expected it to get noticed (nor to be this epic), but when the stats show people are reading it, they're just not commenting, it miffs me a little to be absolutely honest.
I've started to write my AtS End of Days fic - and it's an essay instead. Heh. Not sure how that happened, but as my individual fic writing is in an advanced state of not happening (though I did get a Giles/Wes bunny last night) that's probably for the best.
And I haven't forgotten I owe a Giles as Watcher essay either, just totally overwhelmed with Secretary and No Limits.
So, sorry for the meh greyness that is me at the moment. I'm mercurial (Secretary in-joke! ;-)) and will bounce back soon.
