Party Time!

[galadriel1010]

I don't get to chat with you all often enough, so this is a chat post. Pull up a chair, grab a plate from the buffet and a drink from the bar and have a natter.

Anyone following the cricket? Are England going to win this one or will the weather force a draw?

*grabs drink*

Ahm, nope, not following the cricket... Can't get my head around that game at all... I have, however, been doing my nails in multiple colours, and finishing off one of the many shawls I've been knitting recently... Now I'm considering dragging myself upstairs to my little writing corner and having yet another go at my latest episode coda... and failing epically at the whole convincing myself to get up from the sofa...

How's you been?

Ooo knitting. I can't get the hang of it - cricket is much easier for me. *Pokes you off the sofa*

I've been 'writing' all day, which means I've managed less than a line. I need Jack to take his finger off the bell and Ianto to answer the door.

*Dives back into the sofa after being poked off it*

That writing situation sounds terribly familiar. In my head, there are already five chapters of my next epic planned. On my outline, there are... three lines. Of course, combining that with my bad memory makes for a good recipe for disaster...

*pokes your muses* Does that help?

*Returns from the buffet with triangular sandwiches and mini quiches*

I have so many outlines of stuff I want to write and so much stuff to finish, but I think my body ahs come to associate writing with lack of sleep and tries to make me avoid it. It's not good.

Cake?

[kelticbanshee]

Oh, cake, I really shouldn't... *grabs a piece*

I don't often have much going on, but since I started writing epics, shorter stories tend to accumulate in my "to do" folder...

Which reminds me, I have to read your TW/Sherlock crossover... the idea of Ianto having shared a flat with Sherlock sounds highly entertaining!

[fiwen1010.livejournal.com]

Oh you should ;)

I used to be like that, but I always went for the epics and could just keep going. Now I pick things up and put them down and can't gain any momentum. Need to finish off my monster fic so I can get on with other stuff with a clear conscience.

[kelticbanshee]

I really shouldn't, but some cakes are just too good to pass. Like Tart's Boston Cake.... Hmmmmmmmmm Boooooooooostooooooooooon caaaaaaake....

*Blinks*

Right, so, fics... I sort of have that problem as well, I have way too many ideas in my head and can't really get into any of them properly... Maybe we need to organise a regular tea and cakes and writing moment?

[fiwen1010.livejournal.com]

We need to do this. And I need to remember to check replies more often.

[kelticbanshee]

Hehe, I only remember to check replies because LJ emails me, and I end up with a ton of emails I have to go through and check and reply/delete as appropriate. If I had to remember to check, it'd never happen! :)

[fiwen1010.livejournal.com]

I get it in email form, but when I've been away for a couple of days things get lost in the deluge. Or if there's something interesting happening on who_anon and my inbox fills with emails from that lol

[kelticbanshee]

Hehe, it does happen, yeah. Unfortunately work has me well trained to not skip emails in my inbox... Start at the bottom, work my way up...

[fiwen1010.livejournal.com]

I do the same, but when I have 200 emails something's bound to get lost. Especially as most of the time I just delete my way through anon memes and spam.

[kelticbanshee]

Yeah, well... there's that level of emails, yeah :)

Hello!

I just wanted to drop a line and say that I am working my way through your fics now - I found them via longliveianto. I'm really enjoying them, especially Timelord!Ianto.

I also wanted to ask if it would be alright if I formatted your finished fics (either some or all) for ebook reading and posted it to my dreamwidth account in case others are interested? I've created a little fic-harem for myself and am now in the process of posting them... but I wouldn't do it w/out permission.

Thank you for your consideration :)

[fiwen1010.livejournal.com]

Heya :) I'm really glad to hear you're enjoying them. Converting and posting would be absolutely fine. All I ask is that you link back to me and give me a link to the posts :)
