blather +DO meme +sequel to A Small Mercy finally finished

[arrow00]

hey guys:

I'm back from lovely Toronto, land of the loonie. Discovered my life had sort of fallen apart in my absence, but I'm finally getting a handle on it.

In that spirit, I'm starting a new meme:

DO meme
Pick *one thing* that drives you nuts EVERY SINGLE DAY, and fix it. (tell us what and how)

For me, that one thing is my shoelaces. They are constantly coming untied and getting stuck in my pedals. So, I am swapping them out today for cotton ones that aren't all slippery and always losing their knots.

In other news, at the con, during secretlybronte's writing party, I started working on the long-promised sequel to A Small Mercy (the one where Victoria goes NUTS on Fraser's ass) and it is now COMPLETE and in beta with the lovely and talented nos4a2no9. Warning: it takes a *long time* to fix boys when you break them badly, so be prepared for 39 pages and 15K wds of mostly fucked up smut and angst. Coming your way in the near future.

It's all Nos' fault.

I'm very excited about your soon-to-be-born story-in-beta. I was amazed to realize I'd missed A Small Mercy the first time around. I've rectified that error, and oh! my!

and Yay! for a DO meme, and especially your kick-off, which reminds me that starting small still is starting. (Don't get me started re: shoelaces. In the good old days of waxed cotton ...)

Thank you very much, j! Whatever happened to waxed cotton? Why do shoelaces need to be all slick and slippery and sliding apart when their primary function is to TIE TOGETHER?

er.

The problem is: I went to three stores yesterday and couldn't find cotton laces. I'm not sure what my recourse is, here. Make my own shoelaces? Rub the existing ones down with rubber cement?

Little help?

Bueller? Bueller?

In the meantime I must pick another Do.

(I'm glad you are looking forward to the sequel. I hope it lives up!)
