Happy birthday to brighton_girl! I hope you have a fantastic day!

One day I'll stop blindly clicking links. That way I'll spare myself the utter horror of coming across badly written NCIS Tony/Tim MPREG stories.

However, that day is not today.

I'm about half way through the JuC swap stories at the moment. I've been enjoying them a lot, and it's been good to sit and read the responses from the writers. I love hearing how people approach their stories, it's like getting a little extra glimpse about each one.

I've also been thinking about SeSa, specifically, beginning my pre swap thoughts about what I'll get. It's early I know, the sign ups haven't even started, but still, it's a ritual that needs to begin. While no pairings hold fear for me, the words 'gsf heavy on the smut' would be enough to bring me to my knees. If that happens I'd have to spend weeks typing with my fingers over my eyes, which believe me, is difficult to do. Though my worst fear would be getting assigned a friend to write for, especially interlock who's been my beta forever. I'd have to write two stories and lie and I'd be a nervous wreck.

Man, this is why I love SeSa story exchanges so much! They get the blood flowing and the nerves jangling and it's such a bewitching combination.

For now though, I have new NCIS and then emails to write before the kidlet gets home.

ETA: I uploaded this for KC yesterday, and in the spirit of not wasting links. Lost Prophets: Liberation Transmission.rar I'm really enjoying The Lost Prophets at the moment, so if you want to give them a try, download away.

I've been drying laundry today, and when I set the tumbler off earlier there were thumping sounds. Before anyone worries, no cats were harmed. It must have been jeans wadded up or something, but I counted my cats, and Tex multiple times. I've had issues about using the tumbler since before, and often have panicked cat counting moments when I'm using it. But this sound, it was exactly the same, and even though I knew they were all fine, I still kept counting. Then James came in, heard and despite me telling him that they were all fine, he eventually checked himself, and man, I felt sick to the stomach. What if I'd been wrong and one of them were in there?

They weren't. Freesia is on the tower, Tinker on top of the fridge, Milo is playing with some paper, and Tex is asleep on the couch. It's just, I miss Moffet so much right now, and I know she was only a cat, but she was my cat and I loved her so much.

I'm fine, I don't need comments or hugs. I'm just going to go hug my animals and then throw myself into the SeSa excitement. Just, if you have a pet, go give it some love from me.

Joining the flist train of love!

Okay people, this is when I poke you all with my pointy sparkly pimping stick of doom! I don't even care if you've seen this multiple times on your flist, because Make the Yuletide Gay is live!

You have a week to sign up, and I expect you to do just that! Sign or get poked! If you've done this multiple times before. Sign. If you're new. Sign. Because believe me, there's nothing like jumping in at the deep end.

How fantastic is it to get a story written for you? Very! Think of all those pairings, all those stories. Think of the collective groans that sweep through popslash fandom when the assignments arrive. Don't you want to be part of that? Of course you do!

Go check out the site, and also mtyg_discuss.

In other things that have made me happy. sperrywink has written a Pete/Mikey ficlet just for me. It's flocked so I won't gush, but I adore it.

ETA: Seeing that number go up at the site is wonderful. I suppose I should go join myself.
