RL, mostly.
First of all Happy Birthday ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
calove! Hope life is treating you well and that you'll pop in and say hello now and again! *hugs*
And then onto why I vanished - under cut because I lack the talent for making my life sound anything other than utterly dull.
Well, there was The DIY Project That Wouldn't End (and has been going on since the summer), but that FINALLY did. Sort of. Ish. If I was a better LJer there'd be before and after pictures. However, I am bad, but be reassured that the house is a lot nicer than it used to be.
Added to this was parents visiting for a week, and then half term, which ended with me & [Little] Miss M going to Denmark for a funeral. (It was too expensive & awkward to go all of us, but she's 10 and very sensible, and proved herself a lovely travelling companion.) I might write about this in more detail at some point, if I can find the time...
Also, I am trying to get 'My Immortal' finished, and it is taking FOREVER. I'm past the half-way point of chapter 10 now, but (if my outline holds) there'll be 16 chapters in all + epilogue, and it is already 50,000 words long. *headdesk repeatedly* Why do I do this to myself?
Must go look after 3 y.o. and do some housework now. *sigh*
Just in case someone missed it, I posted Chapter 9 of My Immortal a few weeks ago.

50,000!!!! Um...gosh! Picks self off floor. Just think that by the time you've finished it will be more or less novel length!
Exits before I abuse any more exclamation marks.

Thank you! (Don't suppose you have a sudden hankering for making a Being Human banner? *looks innocent*)
Just think that by the time you've finished it will be more or less novel length!
That thought has occurred to me too... Why can't I write something original and fabulous and earn lots of money? *sigh*
Exits before I abuse any more exclamation marks.
Good idea, what with the recession and all. I'm sure exclamation marks are more expensive than they used to be... ;)

I haven't made a banner for a long, long time, so I'm not sure how good it would be. There's a Being Human graphics community here which might have something better than my rusty skills could manage. If you can't find what you want you might be able to twist my arm *g*.

Think of it as practice :)

Says the lady with the pretty awards... Mostly I'm asking because I have a very specific (and simple) idea, and you're very good at turning my ideas into reality. :)
no subject
The pretty awards weren't for banners *g*.

I'm really enjoying My Immortal. And I tend not to like Buffy with anyone but Spike! Clearly I make an exception for Jack :D Or maybe your writing has just convinced me!

Thank you.
And congrats on finishing the DIY project!
And yet there are still so many things to sort out...
I'm really enjoying My Immortal.
I never get tired of hearing that!
And I tend not to like Buffy with anyone but Spike! Clearly I make an exception for Jack :D Or maybe your writing has just convinced me!
There's also of course the fact that *Jack* really likes Buffy with Spike... ;)

I might have given this topic ENTIRELY TOO MUCH THOUGHT! Ahem.
I'm so not a shipper usually. But obviously Spuffy owns a little piece of my soul!
Hee! They own a part of my soul too...

Aw thanks! I never planned on it getting this long, it just... grew. A lot.
Very excited and waiting to see what happens when everyone comes to meet the Immortal.
Well that'll happen in... *goes to check outline* chapter 13 and 14. And there's TGiQ to come first. (The writers did NOT make that easy to do from The Immortal's POV. But I've got something that works, thankfully.)
