I so don't want to know.

Jon sent Kate a text that said: 'you and Amy did well.' What worries me is that he might actually know how we did and he really shouldn't. I'll pick it up Monday. Until then, I will ignore it.

From:

How would Jon know? I was there when he picked up the essay and then we left, so he didn't look. So unless you had an email from Katherine to your archaeology crowd or something weird?

And at least you are going away for the weekend so you will be nicely distracted. Funny that you went to Cam today and Snowdonia afterwards. You're like a stalker of places I've lived :P

Aw, you say that like it's a bad thing! :)

From:

Oh, congratulations, that's fantastic!
See, the hard work DOES all pay off sometimes :D

*big hugs*

From:

YAY! Yes, sacrificing the fic for a little while did pay off, lol.

From:

I think that sometimes, as much as we hate to put aside the fic, it is worth it.

From:

Indeed. Mean old RL! lol

Am currently embroiled in the next assignment, but am doing ok - the

merlin_the_elf fic went in, and my

tamingthemuse for tomorrow is 90% done (I also want to post it tomorrow for sissi's birthday, since she inspired it eons ago). Then I need to take another few days to work on the essay. :( But I can find the balance...

From:

Hats off to you for having your

merlin_the_elf fic in already! I know Sunday's the deadline, but mine still isn't finished completely, although there's not much left to do, thankfully.
Aw, that'll be cool, posting it for Sissi's bday, she'll probably love that :D
Good luck on balancing fic and the new essay though!

From:

Lol, I had a sudden panic earlier in the week (I had been getting NOWHERE with the prompts) and wrote it after some brainstorming with a friend. It's not the best thing I've ever written, but it's cute (I may be approaching my limit with fluffy fics though, what with that and Something to Talk About in such short succession!) and I hope the recipient will like it.

I hope I can get it done for tomorrow. I just noticed that it was her birthday and that seemed like as good a reason to post as any.

I've had years of practice with that particular juggling act, just not for a few years. I'm sure I'll get back into the swing of it...

From:

I don't think anyone's

merlin_the_elf fic will turn out to be the best thing they've ever written, so I wouldn't worry about that. I'm sure the recipient will like it however it turned out - you're one of the people in this fandom that always produces good quality fic, regardless of the plot (I apologise for the amount of arse licking that sounded like, lol).

Yeah, it's always cool to find a reason to post :)

Ah, fair enough then, I'm sure you'll get it back soon enough then.

From:

ROFL. Arse licking excused as I always enjoy your fic too, so we're even.

I can't wait to actually post this fic. It's been lingering around on my HD for weeks and weeks growing gradually longer. It was meant to be porny ficlet, but it grew a plot and was taking forever to get to the porn part. I'm looking forward to posting it and getting on with something different!

From:

Oh, thank you, definitely even then :)

God, I know that feeling. I'm working on a fic atm that was intended as a hurt/comfort ficlet but is now 6000 words and growing... ah well, at least you can never say Merlin doesn't offer plenty of plotbunnies!

From:

:D

Yup. This one's just hit 6000 too. Which is slightly ridiculous for a fic that was supposed to be a porn scene. Ah well.

And no, plot bunnies multiply like... bunnies... in this fandom! I love that. I love that I can write short silly pieces and charactery bits and porn ficlets AND I can plot away at giant, epic mythology fic and it all works just fine.

From:

*high five* The planned scenes do sometimes write themselves into longer fics, don't they? :P

It's fantastic how bunny-inspiring this fandom is. I totally agree with you, there's such scope and you literally could write just about anything XD

Congrats, you! *hugs*

From:

Thanks!

From:

Well done, you! :) *hug*

(can I give you cookies even though you haven't joined forces with the dark side?)

From:

*g* Thanks!

And cookies are always good! (In what way am I still, uh, light side?)

From:

*passes the cookie jar*

Uh... You didn't watch the Merlin extra and immediately snickered about Bradley wanting to show Colin his big spider? :">

From:

*sob* I haven't seen any of the extras! (yet)

From:

*gasp* YOU MUST! Have you seen the d/l post on

merlinxarthur? I can link you if you haven't...

From:

I've got it saved. I have crapppy internet here though (I have to watch my Merlin episodes on Sunday mornings because my internet is so bad in the evening) that I'm prob going to just download them when i get home.

From:

Ouch. But at least you will get to see them! And think about it this way, even when the internet connection is great, we only get to see Merlin here on Sunday afternoon/even, so relatively speaking Sunday morning is still good. ;)

I can't wait for you to watch them, though! I wanna hear your thoughts about them...

From:

Indeed. It's fine, just a bit annoying.

And I suspect they may be the start of a slippery slope into RPS :P
