Well, quite a lot of fuss. If I didn't know better, I'd think we were dangerous.

I uploaded my Yuletide story last night, after helping some other people out with emergency beta services.

I probably shouldn't offer to pinch-hit this year, but I'm considering it. I kind of want to write something that I actually like, instead of something I stare at a bit miserably, and say, "Well, then."

Ah, but you run the risk of having two of the latter instead.

This is why I waffle.

But then again, I tell myself: self, at the very least, you will be able to write someone a story with mostly correct grammar and spelling, and bearing some resemblance to canon, and that's more than some people will get, so perhaps it is worth the mental torture.

Good point. You have me waffling as well.

Possibly I should point out that I have an overdeveloped guilt complex and one might not want to follow my example, and that perhaps I'm only saying this to cover my ass in case one gets stuck writing the crackfic threesome o'doom.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

Are they taking volunteers for pinch-hitting?

Not as of last night, but as the deadline was extended until 9pm Eastern tonight, I suspect they won't ask until after the deadline's gone wooshing past.

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies

Tzikeh just posted in the LJ community; apparently they're going to hand out pinch-hitting assignments tonight in a moderated chat.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

My decision to generally not read stories off ClarkLexFic unless I'm familiar with the author? Just been reconfirmed.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!

Yeergh.

I wish I'd been able to get in on the pinch-hitting business, but ce la vie.
