Oh yes, read it as soon as I saw your link! :-) I'm so happy someone besides me is writing! I was thinking this morning in the shower how odd it was that there is no fic in this fandom (yet!).
It's not just odd, it's downright worrysome. I'd be all sad about it, but then thelana has been teh best fellow fan, providing all those links to shirtless Gregor in her LJ, so I keep myself occupied. ;-)
Sorry to hear that, my new friend. It's full moon today, so it'll pass, soon, I'm sure. Try yoga pilates, facial or putting on nail polish on your toes. Sometimes it helps. Then again, you may wanna replay Oliver and Christian making out. That cannot hurt either. *hugs*
I'm afraid I have been replaying Christian/Olli rather a lot lately... I fear it is possibly displacement activity because of teh low. Thanks for kind thoughts! :-)
Oh nooooo, you got the tail end of my emotional weather! Quick, batten down the hatches until it's passed! Into the storm shelter, into the storm shelter. (Take some porn and cake to pass the time).
It's this weather, you know. The gloom of it. I totally blame SAD. I was thinking of your low mood the other day. They come, they go. I've been low for a while, actually. It's very meh.
The weather is rubbish. Rubbish! Sorry you've been down, that is rubbish too.
I just found out that someone I work with had four novels published between 1999 and 2003. Her debut won the WH Smith Fresh Talent Award. The Times called her 'fun, funny and utterly unpretentious ... a female Carl Hiaasen'. They got rave reviews on Amazon. Sadly, they've all gone out of print. :( But I'm bidding on one on eBay.
Good heavens. So how come she stopped writing??? Some preliminary googling gave me no joy in the name of this mystery author...
The weather is total crap. It's because of this that I'm feeling low, I'm sure. Except I always attribute any crapness to my own inner crapness rather than to any exterior forces. Bah.
Her name is Georgina Wroe, she's an editor and journalist on some of our publications. She does occasional presenting work on Radio Suffolk, too. I haven't asked her why she stopped writing novels, though, I don't really know her well enough; at the moment we don't work on the same publications. Someone else I sort of work with wrote The Bluffer's Guide to the Simpsons (ha!), but he's leaving this week. Gosh, it's all so exciting!
I always attribute any crapness to my own inner crapness rather than to any exterior forces.
Unfortunately that seems to be how our brand of crapness works, nasty thing.
the gloom truly doesn't help -- even a bit of sunshine lifts me (if only temporarily). I hope it passes: meanwhile, indulge every indulgence, give in to every temptation. Self-medicate with smut! (worked for me)
Thank you. I must remember to abandon all thoughts of 'ought' when I feel low. It's the oughts that get me low and then they conspire to keep me low. Then I think, oh no, I "must" read x or y when all I want to do is comfort-read! I will follow your advice and think of comfort-reading as medication. :-)

Date: 2008-04-23 08:09 pm (UTC)Yesterday, I saw some rays of sunshine. I couldn't identify them at first, it had been so long.
Oddly, my mood went up.
I should stencil this on my palm or something. Bleakness wot i think is profound and existential turns out to be a mere whim of weather.
