Too busy.
To all readers of 'My Immortal' - the next part is *thisclose* to being finished, but I won't be able to post until next week... Tomorrow is Miss M's 11th birthday, and Friday night she's having a birthday-party-sleepover (why yes, we are INSANE!), so I won't have any time for polishing the last corners etc. It's another 'FitB' type story, but this time it's LONG and it deals with The Year That Never Was - what exactly happened to Buffy & co? And yes, Buffy and Jack will both be there, and you'll find out who made it out of the alley alive etc.
One reason it's taken so long is that it just kept growing (it's over ten thousand words!) and also it was *the* most awkward story I have ever written. I'm not even sure why, because I love the concept and I knew what was going to happen - it just refused to turn into prose. But I am VERY nearly there now, mostly thanks to my *incredible* beta. (How do people manage without?) The sequel proper should be a lot easier, I sincerely hope! *crosses fingers*
Not entirely sure why I'm writing this to be honest, I think that maybe I'm just worried that no one will be interested. (Or won't like it because it's weird. Because it is.) Do all writers feel like that?
Also I want to write, and I have to do housework instead. And there is always SO MUCH of it! It never stops! ::grumbles::

Or see what Buffy makes of the TW gang and/or the doctor...

Takes a bow, but you could blame the delay on me for my nitpickiness *g*.

Er...I wish you hadn't said that!
Happy Birthday to Miss M and best of luck with the sleepover!

Yay!
I'm just a little bit in love with this 'verse.
Well it has eaten my head for the past few months, so...
Though I'd love to see more of Spike & Angel. And possibly Andrew, Dawn, Giles...
Good things come to those who wait! ;)

As I'm sure you can understand, the main problem is holding back...

But I want it to be *good* - there's no point in spending months on something and then not have it be everything it can.
Er...I wish you hadn't said that!
*laughs*
Happy Birthday to Miss M and best of luck with the sleepover!
Thank you! Hopefully it should be fairly straightforward - we're old hands by now!

Well that's two readers at least! :) I hope it won't disappoint.

Aw, thanks!

How is the house after the cyclone?

*laughs* You get the hang of them after you've done a few, and they're old enough not to need constant entertainment.
How is the house after the cyclone?
It hasn't hit yet! Her birthday was yesterday, but since today was a schoolday (obviously), her party is tonight. But - they'll start off by going to the cinema, and then there's 'Children in Need' on TV all evening, so hopefully it should be fairly easy. *crosses fingers*
