I was going to tell you all about my exciting weekend (shops! escalators! cauliflower"), but I've been hit by the lurgy, so am trying to get all my work done before I go home to curl up with my duvet and the biggest cuddly toy I can find. Let's just say it was good in all kinds of ways and consider this a placeholder for a full post at a later date.

What I will say is that I have the awesomest flist in the history of awesome. I love getting post more than I care to admit, so imagine my excitement to get home on Sunday to find:
- A pretty, pretty postcard from [livejournal.com profile] naye. I definitely get why you like it there! Thank you :D
- A cute, pretty postcard from [livejournal.com profile] rustydog complete with original artwork! I'm saving it so I have an original when she's rich and famous ;) I've stuck it up at work so it makes me smile all day - thanks, hon!
- Cryptonomicon via Amazon from [livejournal.com profile] nnwest. I've wanted to read this for *years* but never got around to it - am going to take it to Morocco with me so that I can really sink into it properly. Thank you!
- A care package from [livejournal.com profile] miss_zedem with many shiny, pretty things. I think it's possible that I'm the most spoiled LJer in history but since I have teeny tiny highlighters which are the cutest thing ever, I'm finding it hard to care... *smishes you*



As usual, in lieu of actual content, have some links:

- Go watch this awesome Jack/Doctor* vid by [livejournal.com profile] hllangel to "I Know Him So Well" sung by John Barrowman and Daniel Boys. It's just...it's like the song was made for this vid. Go watch and squee!
- Go read the LFWS entries now that all has been revealed. My entry was Panacea, and I came a highly respectable 5th considering how quickly I wrote the story and that I didn't have it beta'd.
- What Not To Buy received a very lovely rec over at [livejournal.com profile] torchwood_house. If you haven't explored that comm yet, and if it isn't too weird to rec a rec comm, then let me urge you to do so. I took the newsletters off my watch-list, so I only read from my flist, [livejournal.com profile] calufrax and TWHouse nowadays. This is not a decision I regret.

*Properly Jack/Doctor, covering Nine as well as Ten and working so very, very well

Also, would anyone be able to give a quick turnaround (ie 24 hour) beta on an SGA crack fic, image- and silliness-heavy? [livejournal.com profile] greyias and I are very, very nearly done (assuming we didn't wear out her graphic tablet and/or our brains at the weekend) but we definitely need someone to make sure we're only making fools of ourselves with content, not spelling and grammar as well ;) Can anyone help? *flutters eyelashes becomingly*

How was everyone else's weekend? Do anything exciting? Tell me everything - I'm ill and have nothing else to do.

ETA: LJ appears to have turned my comment notifications off, at least for my own journal. Nice.

shameful pimp of my own fic...

So hopefully you are feeling all better now... but just in case you're not... I wrote (most of) an amusing little crack ficlet and posted it despite it being a bit rough to cheer up various peoples. And hey! You're a peoples! And my home remedy for colds is lots of lying in bed with comfy blankets and silly stories. ... And since I can't provide tea or blankets, I'll just have to give you fic: http://fish-echo.livejournal.com/8190.html?format=light

No worries if you are too busy/sick/tired/etc to clickee

(I felt guilty for seeming like I was pushing fic on you...)
(Please ignore the silly fish in the corner.)
(What are you doing still reading comments!? You should be eating soup!)

Gaah, try ten billion at posting... LJ evidently has decided that a side of comments would nicely round off its meal of email comment notifications....

Please, please don't apologise for giving me fic! I haven't had a chance to click through yet, and I'm hopeless at replying quickly (as you may have noticed ;)) but I'll get there in the end, and I *love* being pointed to/given things. I like it - don't stop!

*coughs embarrassedly* I also realised rather belatedly that I hadn't friended you back. Sorry about that - thought I had! Oversight now corrected :)

Oh good, I did the right thing then... (It can be so difficult, figuring out what is correct/appreciated when one is only interacting over the internet...) But now I know! And that is good :)

No worries about taking time to comment-- I do the same thing, so I understand. Plus, you're not feeling well, which gives you ever so much leeway at the moment.

Wheee, friending! As a scatterbrain, again, sympathy and no hard feelings :)
