Take that eFiction! You are well and truly defeated! Hee!

I managed to work out a possible fix for the missing sites and implented it all on my own - and it worked! (And yes, with my aversion to all things database related, this is a big deal. I was coding directly into the MySQL database at one point! (yeah, coding's not the right term, that's how much I avoid doing it...)) So pointless nostalgic and Spirit of the Heart (not officially launched yet) are back!

It now seems that I cannot ever be online at the same time as any of my friends. Woe. Sorry wenchpixie - I got your text at 5.30 this morning, I take it you weren't online at that point... and hopeless_cynic - I really want to go ahead with our project, can you email me today/tonight because I don't know when I'll next be on messenger.

I also *really* have to finish up my Sweet Charity things before July. Officially I have until the end of July to do them, but I feel like they've been sitting there unfinished for way too long. And I have prompts to write for fic_variations here on LJ (2 sets), prompts to write for spn_100 over on IJ (come join! aaronlisa's drabble challenge for Supernatural - you know you want to!) and 100 John icons for sn_100 on LJ. Plus the other graphics I still have to do for friends (wenchpixie, aditu_az, fresleyforever, emeraldswan are the ones I know I have to do - I have a horrible feeling I'm forgetting someone? Help?). Problem is my insomnia seems to have been cured and I'm now sleeping pretty much from when I get in until I leave for work. So although I have all this stuff to do, I just can't seem to find the time to do any of it. (Plus, work is not exactly fun at the moment because it never is, but it is time consuming so I can't even write in the downtime...)

*headdesk*

Okay - I just remembered what graphics I've forgotten. The winners banners for spn_provenance and the smaller banners for the Art of Vidding Awards... Seriously - fresleyforever and thedothatgirl - my brain has become sieve-like lately. Kick me if I forget again?

I'm at work with my cold. I have zero concentration span and my head is bursting. I've had the same sheet of paper in front of me for two and a half hours and still am no clearer about what I'm meant to be doing with it...

so flist, help me out here? I have to be here as a physical presence because of staffing levels, but it's clear that whatever I do mentally today is going to have to be redone another day when my brain cells are less groggy.

What can I do?

ETA okay, so I coped with the fact that Winchester Journals decided against relaunching the fic archive when they were hacked because I still had Urban Legends to fall back on. But now Urban Legends has disappeared?! Dammit - are there any active gen-friendly SPN fic archives any more?!

second edit ... and here comes the fever. I really, really, really should go home now. Gah! three and a half hours, I can last long.

You guys (and chocolate and loud music) rock like a rocking thing.

I'm still mid-emo attack right now, so I'm still a little AWOL but I just wanted to say thanks to everyone. *tacklehug*

In other news...four remaining prompt ficlets and three ficathon assignments - one of which is already overdue but somehow decided it needed to be restarted - and all I'm finding myself writing is "Finding the Path" (companion piece to "Her Own Path").

*sigh*

Anyone up for kicking me into gear and standing glaring at me until I finish something? There could be cookies in it for you.

(and am I alone in slightly dreading the new season of Doctor Who? Some of the things I've been reading are making me think Rusty believes his 'Companion > Everything else' formula worked and is ignoring those of us who were pissed off by it.)

So my flabber is well and truly gasted. And gods that sounds dirty... You guys like me! Or maybe it's the Jensen effect... ah well, who am I to complain? I got to spend the better part of the weekend staring intently at pictures of Jensen Ackles. I am so not going to be complaining about that... I owe so many comments now, I will get to them, hopefully this afternoon now that things have calmed down a little on the personal front as well.

I am currently typing up the ficlets I have completed for the prompts (you can still prompt me if you like, I'm having so much fun with these!) and will start posting them tonight, I want to finish the ones I've chosen to make graphics for before I post and for some reason they won't give me Photoshop on my work computer. What, do they think it will distract me from collating usage stats or something? Oh... wait... *g*

And other than that, I just wanted to say hey. So... Hey.

And *hugs* to those of you who need them, and all of the rest of you as well, just because.

:)

Judging for the Art of Vidding Awards is going really well, we're more or less on the same page and I've gotten to see so many fantastic vids over the last couple of weeks! Can't wait for the announcements and the next round to start!

can't leave anything alone in here... Came into work today, first day this week, I'm freezing and am sitting here with a t-shirt, a jumper and my jacket on, turned round to switch on my heater only to find some bugger's snaffled it! Found it eventually - under the GT's desk - and was on my hands and knees unplugging it when my boss walked up behind me. Of course I have my MP3 player on so I didn't hear her. Can I go home with heart failure now? :)

Working on the prompts you guys have given me, some are done, some aren't but I'll probably batch post them over the weekend. Although the first ten have now been reached, I'm still accepting others - like I said last night, the first ten are definitely getting done, anything after that depends on whether the prompt triggers something. So go ahead, prompt me! (and that sounds so much dirtier out loud than it did in my head...)

ETA okay, Dean doesn't look very content in that mood icon. Unless 'content' has changed its meaning to 'emo'...

second edit posted some SPN fic recs over at pygs_lj. Check 'em out, they're all kinds of awesome.

Oh joy. My laptop, she is not working... I was going to do some more watching of the AVA shortlists this lunchtime, but I can't get the damn thing working. Gah! I swear, it's the library, it's been fine all week, I bring it in to work and all I get is the start up screen and then...nada. Pratchett's view of L-Space is that all libraries everywhere are connected, right? So that a sufficiently trained librarian (say, an orangutan) can travel through all libraries everywhere in time and space? Right, so this library is clearly directly linked to the Sunnydale High School Library because if we were over a Hellmouth it would explain everything. *g*

Absolutely bloody typical! I spend 50 minutes of my lunch trying to get the damn thing to work and just when I give up it decides to play along... *sigh* so of course I just watched the two contenders I have for my judges choice... *g*

My last incredibly emo post has now been marked private because I am (as predicted) on the up curve again. Drooling over Looking at the card I got from dragonydreams and laughing over an email I got from... someone unexpected helped a lot. I want to write, I want to icon, I want to make the banners and layouts I owe people, I want to be productive again. And the second round of spnlims starts this week, I want to give that my all (I think I must have been eliminated for non entry in the doctorwholims challenges this time around, I kinda... wasn't in the zone at all). But the thing is, I can't get motivated right now so... here it is.

Comment with a single character (not a pairing) from any of my fandoms* and a colour or quote and I will come up with something. Be it a ficlet or an icon or something like that. I'm not saying it'll be good, I'm not saying you'll like it, but I will do it.

First ten get something guaranteed, after that I'll see what I can do.
