And now, post-yuletide, comes the post-yuletide neuroses! Whoo.
I haven't had a chance to read anything yet, though. "Work" will be fun tomorrow.
No. And yes. It's always sudden.

now I'm seeing a story that looks like it's for you on the archive.
I just saw it there this morning. Apparently, it didn't upload correctly or something the first time around. Anyhow, I read it and enjoyed it very much.

Hell yes. I keep looking to see if anyone is reccing my fic in LJ. Please tell me that I'm not the only one who's being so vain and insecure.

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
Ha! No, of course not. We're all just that vain and insecure. Well, there might be someone out there who isn't, but frankly they're in the minority.

Even better, my recipient hasn't posted a comment yet. She hates it!

Yup. I posed the conclusion to a big story on LJ, didn't get any comments for 12 hours, and was ready to convert to Catholicism and join one of the cloistered orders.

I did get a comment from my recipient, and she was quite pleased, so that's the important bit.
Also, I kind of want to go in and fix the formatting of my fic.

Heh. I had that reaction too - I went and checked my recipient's LJ and I think she's left for holidays in Mexico. Thank god some other generous soul commented on the story, or I'd be sitting in a corner ready to eat worms.

Oh, whee, I'm having a kerfuffle in my LJ from someone objecting to my non-use of fanon elements like consorts and mating rituals and mates and all that. Plus the new arrival is going "I haven't read all the previous parts, why is this so confusing?" Possibly a legitimate reminder to tell new folks where the rest of things are. I never expect to attract new readers who haven't been faithfully following events.
That's a legitimate whee, by the way. One of my regular readers is taking the new arrival to task. Someone cares enough to tell me I'm doing it wrong!

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
Dear lord. Not just objecting to non-use, but claiming you've got things wrong because it doesn't follow the overdone fanon ritual shit?
