giddy flurries

[oiran]

Snow! Light, white and chilly! And there were about 200 robins--seriously--in my backyard this morning, sitting in the dogwood and looking in the window while I made coffee. And it's snowing!!! I'm crossing my fingers for some substantial accumulation, but it probably won't happen.

WiP Day: I used to have my few definitely-never-going-to-finish WiPs up on my site, but when I did my last redesign I took them down, and I don't think anyone has missed them ;) I am very likely delusional, but I actually believe that I'll finish everything else I've started, which is a few dozen SV stories, some Gattaca, a few weird instances of multiple Rosenbaums, Hard Core Logo...I can at least say with some authority that I won't ever be writing Boondock Saints after all. However, I did post a story in the midst of all the WiPs because I? Have no patience. However, I don't want it entirely lost in the shuffle, so...

my new sv fic: Eidolon helvum. It's also at SSA, at Level 3, and here on my site.

rec: Under Surveillance by the charming and ridiculously talented scribblinlenore.

And this story happens to be a birthday gift for another charming person, fleegull. I am also highly recommending her ;)

happy birthday, fleegull!

also...

happy birthday, serafina20!

I wish you both the best of things today and in the coming year.

another rec: I can't believe I'm recommending this, because I told her I wouldn't read QaF if she wrote it, but I'm apparently weak-willed and do nothing but cry wolf, because rhiannonhero is writing a QaF version of Grease that I'm adoring. I think you'll need to be on her list to read the story--so go ask to be added if you're not there already. I just keep telling myself that QaF RPS is not really QaF, and a Grease crossover is not really QaF, because I do think that writing fic about a show where there's no subtext necessary and no call for character subtleties is a waste of time...and I think I've just demonstrated how much my "resolve" is worth, yes?

I should probably find it funny, but instead I'm incensed: I'm getting virus spam from "brent@gilaslash.net". Which is, of course, one of my domains and it is thus impossible for imaginary brent to have an email there unless I've given it to him. *hates lying spam even worse than viruses*

Bweeeee!!! You make me so fucking giddy inside. And, you know, I got this beautiful image of you with your hair all mussed standing in your kitchen making coffee and looking at the robins. I miss you! Wah!

The best rabbit ever!

Hee! Well, that would be a pretty much accurate impression, except I'll leave it up to you to decide on the beautifulness ;) So many birds, all on the tree and the porch rail and drinking melted snow from the dip in the lid of the garbage can.

I do love the birds...

You are most welcome. And I read your post re: going out. It sounds like fun... *sigh* ;)

Sending the love for your new fic. Resisted reading it for about an hour because CLex OTP and all that - was worried that Bruce would steal Lex - yes I know I am a lame-o. I should have trusted you. Very good despite the unspellable title

Re:

Thank you! Though your worries weren't entirely unfounded...I was planning on Clark/Bruce, actually, but Clark wouldn't play that way. I'm glad you enjoyed it!

Yay for snow!!! Isn't it fun? We had about a foot of snow out here last month. (With a few inches of ice on top of it. Layered with more snow and freezing rain. It was pretty, but not fun to go out in.) And for Oregon? In the vally? That is way unusual.

Do you know if we can post original fics for the WiP Day?

Also, how the heck do you make the birthday wishes animated?!

As long as you keep writing, I couldn't ask for better stuff in the coming year! Thank you for the good wishes!
