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...
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!
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...
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.
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!
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!
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.
