turpsWe've been to the hospital today so James can get his arm checked, and he's been discharged \o/
It was a bit of wait to get the xray done, but after that we were in to see the consultant immediately, and out within minutes. He said the break is healing beautifully, and that he's pleased they decided not to operate as he suspects it's healed better this way than it would have done with rods. That means James can leave his brace off if he wants, but what he's going to do for now is leave it on when he's walking outside, because another fall on that arm would be a disaster. But for in the house it can come off, so that's great news.
After we went to a takeaway we both love. It's a very basic place, with different dishes depending on what day you go, including a mixture of African, Malaysian, Thai and Filipino options. Sadly the last two times we went James got raging indigestion, so today he got the blandest dishes on the menu, and it happened again. I guess there's just something about the way they prepare their food that doesn't agree with him now. Which is a shame as the food really is delicious.
I submitted my bbb and have my beta back too. There's very little to change so the editing won't take long at all, so I'm ready and waiting for a posting date. Now if only I could think of a decent summary.
A few weeks agosperrywink recced a The Sentinel/NCIS/Stargate crossover, one that was 126k long. I ploughed my way through that yesterday and man, I enjoyed it. It had a very old skool feel to it, and it was just a great way to spend the day. Read a few chapters, go off and do something, read some more, do some more, rinse and repeat over and over.
Of course, yet again, that got me thinking that there should be many more bandom The Sentinel AUs. And then I was checking friendsfriends over at LJ and saw one was being posted as a wip. It was like magic. I haven't read yet but I have it tabbed.

I really did enjoy it a lot, especially seeing how all the characters were introduced.

Hooray for easy editing!
I've never been that interested in Sentinel AUs. Maybe because a lot of it seems all about the h/c? I don't know.

Editing is done \o/
You're right, there does tend to be a lot of h/c in Sentinel AUs, but the actual TS fandom itself has loads of different genres of fic. Though, admittedly, it's really h/c heavy. I guess there's just something about Sentinels that attract that kind of stories.
