I hope you enjoy it; that was my weekend's work!

Ohyes: this is two entries in a night, I know, but go with me here.

Lockjaw, chapter 5, is complete. In draft. I know various people who will be very happy about that: Scorpi likes it, Keiro will like it as it means I can spend my time on other things, and I will like it because I was having a problem with the whole thing's dialogue, which is now resolved.

Now, to type it up, and post it. Life is looking good!

Yes, guys: back in the writing flow. Procrastination period is out of the window.

Lockjaw, I'm sure anyone who bothers to read this purely for my GF fic will be happy about, will be up by next week. If not before: feeling rather happy about that.

Chapter 2 of HSE is coming along nicely too, and should find its way onto the Pit sooner or later. The pure amount of research I did on that really did help; especially on the time walking demographic. But, that's against the point.

I'm happiest about my GF fic, actually. The fact that I didn't seem to be able to write it properly had been annoying me for ages.

As for everything else; a good day went somewhat downhill in the last hour and a half, thanks to chav writing that I was a fat ginger test tube twin. Of which only one is true: I'm a redhead, dammit. I'm not some twisted science experiment gone wrong. Feminism seems to be the only way to go; always has been.

Just had a revelation. Woohoo!

I'm not writing for two reasons: one, I happen to have no MS Word on this PC, and am fully aware that, in Notepad, which I love with my heart and soul, I make terrible spelling mistakes and fail to notice them, only causing embarrassment later if I read it aloud to check the flow (yes, I do that. So shoot me: not like I'm writing smut or anything, as I would be dead of someone found it.)

Two: blatant laziness, plus the website I'm in the realms of coding to get my writing put somewhere other than the Pit. I seem to find reasons to get out of story telling.

Plus, Ouran X-over has sprouted into multichap with slash pairing. Crap.

I believe I shall get my sorry ass off the net and scribble: do myself some good. Or homework... no, writing. Had a good idea for HSE #2 anyways.

But I didn't. Dammit. I'm a write-a-holic.

I'd been working on this piece for about two weeks now (compared to yesterday's offering, which was written in six hours and thought up at one o'clock that afternoon), and it's a nice piece of fluff. It's called Ghosts of Christmas Past and Present, but that's a bit of a misnomer really, seeing as it has nothing to do with ghosts. In fact, it's Jean kind of teaching Scott how to be a child again, and could be said to be like that awful Lizzie McGuire episode I was once forced to watch.

Oh dear. On yesterday's offering, people seem to think it's leading onto better things. What the hell am I meant to do now? Christ, it was meant to be a one-shot. I now need to either be proud that people want me to expand on it, or go and cry in a corner as I grasp for plot- in vain, I might add. I don't know what I'm going to do with it; what do they want me to do? Slash?

Oh, Jesus, Mary and Joseph. I need to think this out, but no way in hell am I starting today. I still have to finish that Lockjaw chapter, dammit!

Merry Christmas, everyone.

And I said that I'd take a break from X-Men. How wrong I was. Had an idea this morning that took priority over everything else, and so, I wrote it. Dearie me. It must be because it's Christmas Eve tomorrow, but it's uploaded onto FF.net too.

And, god forbid (surprisingly for me), I've got Logan being a reasonably nice guy in it. I normally put him on a sugar high or do something stupid to him. *Headdesk* Ooh, and a new one for me, it's post X3. Bet you never saw that coming.

Well, linky-link link is here!

It's only a one shot, but I'm still battling to get Lola in character for my Grim Fandango fic too, and I'm trying to finish it before the end of this year, so that kind of took some preference. Damn it, easily distracted brain...

Well, I've finally finished the M'n'Ms project. Wh00t for that: thought I'd never get around to it. Everyone's back in character (thereabouts), yay! the URL's here!

I've had another idea for a multi-chap fic, but I really do need any information I can get on Apocalyse (more precisely, the 12), because I haven't managed to nit-pick Dave on the subject yet. All help highly appreciated, from URLs to.. well... anything. A lot of background research will be required, but I've also got my Grim Fandango fic to complete, and plenty of other things on paper to upload, etc. etc., so it'll take some time, knowing me.

Had a horrible thought the other day: of all the fandoms I choose to write, the main one I choose requires plenty of research because I've only seen 1 X-Men comic in my life, and it was in Norwegian, it's set in America, and I'm English, and I always seem to dig myself into holes while writing, never mind term dates and lessons having completely different names. Plus, I'm not particularly keen on the thereabouts main character. What the hell am I doing? I must be insane. Ah well, I'm enjoying every minute of it.

I hope everyone has a very merry Christmas and a happy New year:
