Man, I'm done. I've read all the MtYG stories, read and found something nice to say about them all. I didn't think I'd do it, but with a last intensive fic reading session. I'm done.

There's some amazing stories on there, ones that I've loved a lot, and just wow, our fandom has some talented writers. And tomorrow we get to know the authors, which is always fun. Not that I've made any guesses, because I suck at guessing.

So, that's all I've been doing the last few days really. Reading, watching Without a Trace episodes and doing boring rl stuff. Nothing exciting at all. Just easy and happy and relaxed. Well, apart from this morning.

This morning was a disaster zone. We were changing the fish tank water, and I had a bucket full of dirty water when the handle snapped, and the water soaked everything. The carpet, the couch back, me. Then the cats decided to have a chase around the kitchen, and sent the glasses smashing to the floor. Add in one of our sharks that died, me getting my foot stuck in the handles of a carrier bag and nearly face planting to the floor, and man, I was pleased to get out and go grocery shopping.

Also today, Corey went out to a nearby town with two friends. It was his first time going alone to just hang out, and you know I kept calling to make sure he was okay. But he came back, proud that they'd bought dinner for themselves at Asda, and he'd bought me a candle as an unexpected gift. So all was well, except my baby is off doing grown up things.

What else? I got Criminal Minds season one for Christmas, so I have spare burned discs if anyone would like them. I'll happily send them to anyone that wants to see the show, or have their own copies of the first season. If that prompts happy Morgan/Reid fic, all the better ;)

Last thing, happy belated birthday to two lovely ladies.

llumi and

marrymehowie I hope you both had wonderful days. You know, Jo was the only person to feedback my very first Nsync fic way back in the day. You can all blame her for me sticking around *g*

Some people just have no taste. Sad, really. Silly Jo. Hope she learned her lesson.

*weeps*

*glares at you*

Jo is awesome for recognising my brilliance!

You misspelled brilliance. It's d-e-l-u-s-i-o-n!

bahahahahahaha!

Bet you're glad I'm off to bed soon ;-)

You should have been in bed hours ago! It's the wee hours for you young lady!

Go! Shoo! Leave me and my brilliance alone :D

*bows* I'm just glad you don't think I'm weird for wanting to have your children after reading each of your stories. *humps your leg*

Oh... and COREY GROWING UP! *hugs you* Nooooo. My nephew too! They can't, they just can't.

Ha!

All 82 stories AND FB? You ROCK like a rocking thing!

Some talented person should make you all special banners or icons for Reading AND sending FB to every story!

*poke poke poke* still prodding you for your recs list *poke poke poke*

If I don't feed as I read I'll never get it done. Plus, I love that so many people wrote for the challenge, the least I can do is comment on their stories.

Hee! *dodges pokes*

I'm pulling it together, promise :)

I'm pulling it together, promise

Good! My poking arm is getting awfully tired! (Are they making pointy sparkly sticks heavier than they used to *G*)

You've read all of them?!! You're fabulous!

Ack! What an awful morning! I hope you won't have one like it again in a LOOONG time!!

Corey's soon a teenager. Be afraid. Be very afraid! :-)

I did. I didn't think I'd manage it, but I just scraped in on time. I suspect my feedback sucked though, but at least people know I've read.

It was a terrible morning. The carpet is still damp...sigh.

Dude, he's 12 in a few weeks! Still, 11 and heading out to hang with two girls, he's starting early...eeep.

Wow, go you! I managed to feedback 54. 50 was my goal, so I'm happy. :)

And I've had such a good time reading!

54 is an awesome amount too.

I had a fantastic time reading too. The variety of stories was amazing.

Thank you for the wishes and I'll take all the blame. Especially when it comes to your fic.

You're welcome. *smooches you*

I just bunked off work to read the final batch! woot!

And Corey - all grown up! And still such a sweetheart!

And you did not get killed by your house! all good :D

YAY! Go you!

Yep, he's growing up fast, which is very scary. But he enjoyed himself, so I suspect this may become a regular thing. In which case, bus pass time for him.

The house was trying to kill me yesterday. Bad house! But I survived another day :D

Are you sure you don't have a poltergeist? Maybe you need to have the place exorcised. Or, you know, have Sam and Dean give it a thorough going-over ;-)

And, aww. Corey is getting so grown up. It won't be long before he'll be refusing to come along when you're seeing fannish peeps because we'll be OMG his mum's lame old friends. :-) But in the meantime, that was so sweet, bringing you a candle.

Awesome props for finishing and feedback all the stories. I've only read a dozen or so, I think, but tonight is the first night that I've a) had time and b) been able to face opening up the MtYG site again. By Christmas Eve I was like, NEVER SHOW ME A SESA STORY EVER AGAIN. Now, of course, the reveals coming up and I'm getting excited by the idea of doing it all again next year. I think I have some kind of SeSa-related memory disorder.

{pokes you}

(Not for recs. It just sounded like fun.)

{pokes again}

*joins the poking*

*cuz it's fun*

Hey Luv, I don't need a rec list either, but what about a chat? I've written... ..a page, but more input will help. ;)

You around Sunday evening? I'm sick as a dog and probably sleeping til noon my time, but if you're free anytime after six yours...

Dude, I'd take a poltergeist if Sam and Dean could come over.

Corey really is growing fast, but so far he's more interested in coming along to meet people than not. Still, you're right, it's only a matter of time.

I have much sympathy about not wanting to look at the MtYG site, I felt like that after posting the SparklyGlee then Autumn Challenge stories, and those were a drop in the ocean compared to all the SeSa stories. You did so well, all of you did.

I'm looking forward to the reveals too! I always like seeing who wrote what, and being able to reply to people and say there's a reason I wrote what I did *g*

*dodges the pokes*

I stopped by to poke you some more, just for fun (HEE!), but oh LOOK! Sparkly feathers!

*tickles you with sparkly feathers instead*

Of course, I can still get my hands on that Chris-shaped dildo, so future poking is definitely not entirely out of the question! LOL

You made it through them all and fb'd them too? Way to go, Terri! My brain fizzled out after 42 of them, add in that Mom is home and lurking around all the time, it made for difficult reading.

Corey growing up. Awwww.

Eeek, sounds like the morning from heck. I probably would have thrown up my hands and gone to hide in bed til Sunday. lol.

Hee, thank you! But it was a close thing. I think you did great, especially with your mom being around.

He is growing up...sigh.

I tell you Raven, when that bucket broke I wanted to cry. So much water in one place. Oh well. At least it's over.

I managed to read 6 more stories this morning, that brings me up to 48 stories now. Whew, I'm still kinda overwhelmed on the fic. I even ventured into some of the Kevin slash stories and *gasp* they were good. You know how I am about slashing Kevin. But *flails* yeah... I liked the 2 Kevin pairings I read this morning. Watch for flying pigs, K?

I probably would have cried if it had been me, then again it seems like I cry at the drop of a hat anymore.

Before I forget to tell you, and I've been meaning to tell you this since the stories went live - in one of the stories (I've forgotten which) there's a bit about Chris (least I think it was Chris) eating pickled onions. Every time I see or hear about pickled onions, I think about you! Some meme or question-y thing I read (heck, probably something I posted) ages ago - you mentioned pickled onions. Ever since then, pickled onions = Terri. Clearly my brain is severely warped or something.

*wanders off babbling nonsense*

Aw, his first outing with friends! Corey's growing up So. Damn. Fast!

I know! It's scary how fast.
