"Really distracting sex"

[hmpf]

Jaeger's wacky sex life! (That and the following two pages.)

C'mon, people. Read Finder. You know you want to. As Scott McCloud puts it so nicely: "It's the best comic you haven't read." He's right, you know.

***

In other news, I can't frelling concentrate on my work. So, to feel like I've accomplished *something* at least, I write. (My only true nation is procrastination. We should have a flag. And an anthem.) 68 Wives is beginning to look pretty good. I'm beginning to see the structure. I may actually be able to meet my self-imposed two-month deadline for this one.

Too bad I've got a uni deadline, as well. And that one isn't self-imposed...

*sending writerly good-luck vibes your way*

The vibes must have worked!

I'm nearly done!

*amazed*

Hey... I know I've been kind of unreliable and sort of flitting away to other fandoms or Real Life at inappropriate moments throughout most of our acquaintance so far, but would you be willing to sort-of-beta this? Will probably also bother beccatoria with it (although perhaps I should leave her to her own writing for a while, since she's currently working on a book I *really* want to read! *g*) but she doesn't know Methos, and anyway, can't have too many betas... (Well, I suppose you can, but two certainly is a reasonable number.) It's very short, around 1200 words at the moment, and likely to grow by no more than another 200 or so.

And, uhm, if you still (or again) have something you could need *my* opinions on, tell me/give me a link - I'm not quite up to date on what you're still working on and what is finished... but the willingness to help is still there. Just been... horribly distracted, a lot of the past couple of months or more.

yep! Would love to. I'm not working on anything right now, 'cept in my head. When I have something in actual words, I'd love your opinion.

Send the wives my way!

Yay for fic! You know, despite not knowing the Highlander fandom that well (although, yes, I KNOW. The DVDs are currently sitting in my new shiny attic room, waiting to be watched when the rest of me gets to the new house. I still haven't watched the DVD of the first film yet, and I've had that longer...), but I am pretty darn interested to read 68 Wives. And I think your writing (what I've read of it) is awesome.

Also, apologies for not reading Finder. I keep meaning to, and then it keeps passing me by, and I forget. I am sorry :(

Yikes! Don't *apologize*!

[hmpf.livejournal.com]

I don't send or recommend you stuff to make you feel guilty, you know! It's totally *your choice* when, or even *if* you read/watch them!

Anyway... wanna save time? Here's Highlander I in 30 seconds! http://www.angryalien.com/0905/highlanderbuns.asp *g*

*dies laughing* (there are literally tears of laughter. This rarely happens!) ZOMG! That was sooooooooooo funny! *Everyone* should watch it!

I suppose I feel guilty because I do actually want to watch the eps, having never seen the TV series and having ascertained that Peter Wingfield is, indeed, pretty easy on the eye (*thanks TPTB for Dalziel and Pascoe for that*). Also I *do* want to watch the first film again, I just don't seem to have the time (although, given my current Queen kick, I am sure I will *find* time at some point!)

...I have also neglected to watch the highlander DVDs provided by the lovely and feel bad about it. But I'll feel worse once she's watched the finale of BSG and I still haven't Methos'd myself up.

That said, HOO-FRICKIN-RAY for the progress on 68 Wives. It's a fascinating concept and one I'm really looking forward to reading.

And writing *is* accomplishing something. It's accomplishing more than me, currently. Though, being fair, I sort of have an excuse this week. Which keeps getting crappier! It's like, the incredibly horrible no-good very-bad worst week ever. I think it deserves some sort of award. On the plus side, I've gone past shock at how bad the week is, and I'm now just perversely enjoying it with a hysterical glint in my eye, and keep being overcome by the desire to laugh manically. No, seriously. It's sort of weird, like we've gone past "can't deal with this" and straight on to "happily ignoring reality." So...yeah...absurdly, I feel pretty good right now. Though that might be sleep deprivation.

Oh, the unsolicited oversharing! I'm getting very good at oversharing.

Fortunately for you, I'm also good at sympathy. Bloody university deadlines. I really do sympathise. I remember during my last year, the terror with which I watched them approach. I don't have any great tips, but I do believe you'll make the deadline, and you'll do your work well. I really believe that's what will happen. Because you rock. And you're good at this stuff. Shut up, yes you are.

That's supposed "DVDs provided by the lovely hmpf" " but I'm bad at tags... *sigh*

[beccatoria.livejournal.com]

Screw it. I QUIT! ;) And, uh, feel free to delete these comments if you feel they're spamming your LJ. You know, sleep deprivation and tag dyslexia...

See my reply to Meg above.

>That said, HOO-FRICKIN-RAY for the progress on 68 Wives. It's a fascinating concept and one I'm really looking forward to reading.

I'm rather stunned at how well it's going. I've sort of run out of wives again (I deleted a few, so now I have to find some new ones) but I really feel like I know where I'm going with it, which is a feeling I'm really not used to where my writing's concerned. Usually,writing is like taking a long walk through the fog for me - you never know where you're going to end up, nor if you're ever really going to get anywhere, instead of drowning in a bog by the wayside or something. *g*

>And writing *is* accomplishing something.

I know, I know. It's just that I *really* don't have much time left for the uni task, and that *should* be more important than writing. Especially in this phase of my studies.

>It's accomplishing more than me, currently. Though, being fair, I sort of have an excuse this week.

You have a very good excuse. Don't beat yourself up!

>Which keeps getting crappier!

Oh, eeeeeep.

>It's like, the incredibly horrible no-good very-bad worst week ever. I think it deserves some sort of award.

Though that might be sleep deprivation.

Actually, I sort of know that feeling from pretty desparate uni situations...

>Oh, the unsolicited oversharing! I'm getting very good at oversharing.

Well, it's still kind of cryptic. Fill me in on the details by e-mail?

>Fortunately for you, I'm also good at sympathy. Bloody university deadlines. I really do sympathise. I remember during my last year, the terror with which I watched them approach.

Uhm, no, I'm not, and my profs and fellow students are begin to twig on to the fact that I'm not, which is a bit depressing... someone actually recently tried to comfort me with something like "hey, you *may* not be good at uni stuff, but you're good at writing!" Which, yeah, is better than being crap at both, but... I'd still rather be *good* at both.

I've sort of run out of wives again (I deleted a few, so now I have to find some new ones)

Spamming your LJ, but can he have married a ninja? Or shall I write that one once I've seen the eps? ~_^ *g*

Re: Stuff

[beccatoria.livejournal.com]

I refuse to believe you. Ssh. You are good at it. I will hear nothing to the contrary and will continue to concentrate on your awesome university skillz until you've succeeded at your deadline. Good karma might have been invented by Westerners (a rather depressing though in light of THE WEEK), however, since we *are* Westerners, I shall send happy thoughts your way.

Also, do send me the 68 wives. As you say, I don't know Methos, but I always like feeling useful and the possibility of helping you out with your writing, so beta-ing is offered.

Also, I agree about the ninja (see below).

That's really... disturbing.

C'mon, people. Read Finder.
Read issue 15 but I don't really understand what's going on -_-' Just that everyone's totally crazy.
(Hm, I think I know that Munky creature from one of our neural network lectures... or maybe I'm mixing that up with Twipsy.)

It's an extremely complex SF world...

[hmpf.livejournal.com]

... that's never really explained in full. Carla Speed McNeil doesn't do info dumps... more like info drip feeding, really. ;-) But that's part of the fun: trying to figure out how that weird world works, in which ways it is like ours and in which ways it differs, and, most of all, what the heck is up with the protagonist, anyway... *g*

Of course, issue 15 is also the beginning of a longer storyline, so it's bound to feel a bit incomplete...
