turpsMan, 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.![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
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*

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.)

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...

Date: 2008-01-06 10:06 am (UTC)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*

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
