Off Topic += An update, a meme, and another big bang plug

[blue_bells]

It's been an age since I posted here, but after the six month marathon of my last (and first!) big bang, I really needed a break and I thought I'd spare you the spam of my recovery.

(Television. Food. Work. More food. Oh, and hey, I actually made it out to the cinema once or twice! Then there was food.)

So, of course I've been editing stories for a bunch of people instead. I don't seem to understand the meaning of breaks. ^^;

I still intend to get Somewhere to Begin on to A03, DW, and an ePub format, and I will get to that as soon as I can. If you've been waiting for any of those, I really appreciate your patience. If you're ever curious what I'm up to, you can peek into my twitter account and witness the madness; and say 'hi'! I don't bite!

In the meantime have a meme, borrowed from my entire flist:

Pick one of my fics, and I'll give you three details that didn't make it into the fic. Background canon, deleted scenes, or a look into the future. My choice, but if you have a specific question you can ask it in your request.

And a plug for one of my favourite new shows that's doing exceptionally well for a baby fandom. Suits has a big bang and sign ups close September 10! I'm exercising control and advertising only, for a change:




Hope this finds you all doing well, my lovelies! ♥

I love you, too. ♥ Best of luck on XBB. NaNo will be there to accept you with open arms, afterward. ♥

I actually did see the bitterness that you mentioned Raphael feeling, toward both Gabriel and Lucifer. One aspect of your BB that I love so much is the devotion to every single character, to do justice to them all, and you definitely achieved that – plus more! Also, I initially thought of Bal as Gabriel and Crowley's lovechild. Is that weird? The point is, I can definitely see him reminding Raphael of Gabriel.

Agh, my heart breaks whenever I read about the warring past, but StB is all about fighting through the darkness to reach the light, after getting the barest glimpses of it, and I'm so happy the boys made it through.

I really, really, REALLY love you! This is such a sweet moment, a brief respite from the insanity in both of their lives. I have an unexplainable love for Adam going back to school and it's adorable that he has so many people to call him and worry. I think Raphael's message was my favorite, as blunt as she is, and it seems even she cares – at least about what makes Michael happy, if nothing else. AND IT HAS COUCHSNUGGLING! WHAT EVEN??? ARE YOU TRYING TO BREAK MY BRAIN???

*snuggles* You're the best.

Thank you so much, love, I'm immensely relieved all the hard work with the cast of thousands paid off for you. I learned my lesson: there's a direct relation between the number of characters and the scope of plot on word count. Sounds straight-forward, but tough to discipline. I'll tell you a secret: I cut approx 12k from the final version that just didn't fit, including that original ending you saw. XD

I'm glad they all made it through, too, it was selfish of me, but after all the trials I wasn't willing to leave everything in pieces for this story. /guilty indulgence

Aw, I get bold, underlined, and italicised love! (BB in-jokes, may you never grow old. ♥) Couch-snuggling! <3333 You've no idea how hard it was in the last two months before posting when this was all I wanted to write. Thank you for giving me the excuse to come back and close this chapter, I'm so happy you enjoyed it. All the love, sweetheart! ♥

Ahh, interesting! Well, despite all the difficulty, it wrapped up into something wonderful. I won't even say 'in my opinion' because it feels like a universal fact to me. ♥

Also, I didn't even realize that! Adam has been living in my head way too long, but at least it's not grab-whatever-I-can-find-and-beat-you-with-it-ineffectually!love, although that has it's own merits, at times. XDD
