OK, since my birthday seems a very appropriate day to nick this meme off half my flist and put off actually working on Master Plan. (Don't worry, I will get Chapter 8 out today, just not this instant.)
ETA: 2nd Meme (but I'm putting it up here otherwise it'll get lost). Out of the 40 fics I've posted - I'm counting the chapter of Master Plan that I'll post later today, because it makes a nice round number - 10 of them are NC-17. Five are chapters of Master Plan plus there's one MP drabble. The others are Constant, What They Had in Mind (2 drabbles), Lessons Learned, and Staked (the follow-up ficlet to my Spike/Jack drabbles). So four of those are pretty short. Which is interesting.
Anyway, that means a quarted of my fics have sex in them. Obsessed? Me? *g*

Well, a few years ago when I was younger and thinner, my husband and I used to say we looked like Angel and Buffy… *g*
9- Do you wear a watch? What kind?
No. The catch broke and I've never got round to getting it mended. I am that lazy.

I don't know what's up with my brain. It's not like I've written an insane amount (though I have a lot) it's just me going "wheeeeeee!" and not giving a shit. YOu know what? It's fandom. It's okay.
And so is you and your break and I am SO glad you're feeling better/relieved.
OK, so 13. And one more thing and I can have a party, dammit.
no subject
Though maybe I'll just let it sit there till I can face it and write other things if any ideas come to mind. But I'm not feeling I MUST be writing something or I'm incomplete, and that's nice.
I look forward to your party. :-)
no subject
I hate that feeling. That's definitely when you know it's time to back off and remember it's about the fun. Not like you're getting paid to do it, you know?
no subject
But yeah. You're right. Fortunately, I think I noticed in time. Just about.
