Thank you to everyone for all the festive good wishes - I hope that everyone has had a safe & happy holiday time.
*hugs*

Yay! The authors have been revealed over at orlibean_xmas.
Thank you to galor5 for organising this wonderful fic exchange & to taz34 for my lovely gift.

I had so much fun writing Sean&Orli again! I wrote 'Baby, it's cold outside' & I've posted it in my own journal too:~

Clicky!!! Baby, it’s cold outside by Bluespirit

All the fics have been posted over at sga_santa & all the art/vids over at sga_art_santa. There's a Santa's sack full of goodies, so do go & check them out & remember to leave a comment for the authors, artists & vidders who've shared the festive good spirit - & not forgetting the fabulous mods! ♥

And congratulations to all the well-deserved winners at the mcshep_awards!

Oh, & a reminder to go & vote for your Lord of the Rings fic favourites at the mome_awards.
I'm thrilled that Green Glass has been nominated in the RPS Classics section under Sean Bean/Orlando Bloom Long Fiction here.

My orlibean_xmas fic is absolutely, positively done! Polished, betaed & re-read obsessively! I suppose I ought to send it to the mods to stop myself tinkering any more. *g*



My sga_santa fic is currently having a second beta prior to going to be US checked. I like to think I'm aware enough not to have John or Rodney taking a lift or walking along the pavement (if they even had lifts & pavements in Atlantis *g*) but I do like to have a real life, genuine US type person take a look - just in case. :-)
I'm actually really happy with the way this story has worked out. The plot was a bit tricky & twisty in places but it's been a good challenge & I've enjoyed it, after my initial wibbling. *g*

I'm now working on my sga_art_santa assignment. Yay!

Yay!!!!
Thank you to whoever nominated Atlantis & The Fates Universe for the McShep Awards! (Yay for my Mike/Gus teeny, tiny, only-me-writing-it niche fandom! LOL)

Unfortunately I don't have any of my art nominated (can't help feeling just a tiny bit disappointed about that) but I am really grateful that two of my stories are in there.
Thank you!

Congrats to all the other nominees!!
I actually had a lot of fun when I was nominating as I kept rediscovering stories/art/vids & getting to enjoy them all over again!



I've finished the first draft of my sga_santa story! Yay!
I still need to do a thorough edit before I send it to my betas but I'm feeling really upbeat. Thank you to everyone who was so supportive yesterday & especially to xanthelj, who gave me a very sensible talking to & reminded me that I can only do my best & honour my committment in the best way possible. :-)

I've just received my sga_art_santa assignment today & am really happy with it! Oh, & my orlibean_xmas story is completely finished - betaed, edited, polished & thoroughly smooched ready for the recipient. *g*



Heh - from all over my flist:~



LOL! Yeah, Mr B would agree that the world probably can't handle another! *g*

As I'm on a bit of a roll with my writing, here's a quick round-up of last month's posted fic.

All McShep, all the time...

Someday: Time heals, kinda.

A fresh roll of quarters: Even after twenty-three years, Rodney can still surprise John.

Fever: Rodney isn't well.

Make the sun want to shine: Wherein Rodney tries to search the Ancient database & the boys don't talk about feelings.

VigBean...

New memories: How many pebbles on a beach?


And, as my Yoda icon says, it's all slash, folks. (I don't actually write anything else. *g*)

The first draft of my orlibean_xmas fic is nearly ready for betaing & I have several McShep fics that I want to complete, plus that Green Glass time-stamp prompt for rifleman_s!
I also have some half-done manips that I want to finish off.
I do wish we could always have 25 hour days like last Sunday with the extra hour for the clock changing. *g*

Wow, I got my orlibean_xmas exchange prompt yesterday. After flailing around horribly & wailing to lantean_drift that I couldn't do it, she gave me a swift kick up the muses & off I went.
Hee - I've already got 1,460 2,166 words written! *g*

Oh, come on - you know how I love to do word counts when I'm on a roll.
*reminisces back to the 'Scattered Hearts' days*
;-)

Um, yes, I am slightly manic today - thanks for asking. *g*
