I had THE most fantastic time with the Spice over Christmas. We went 5000 feet up Mt. Palomar to a little cottage in the woods that had no internet, no cell phone service, and required a roaring fire to heat it adequately. (Have I mentioned how much I LOVE building and tending wood fires?) We stayed in, popped popcorn, watched movies, cooked lots, cuddled, and much fun was had by all.
THEN, as if I wasn't having enough fun,![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
butmadnnw (my roommate), the Spice, and I all went up to Disneyland for New Year's. It was foggy, cold, and fun as hell. We went on the new Midway Madness ride (several times). The Spice took odd pictures, we went where we liked, and mingled a bit with ButMad's delightful and slightly odd family. Again, a fantastic time was had by all.
But now the Spice are gone. We won't see each other again until late June, which sucks, but we still have the internet and *I* still have this fic. My OT3 ZOMG! is very personal to me, and many of the dynamics between our lovely boys are a case of art imitating life.
I'll leave it for you to decide which one of us is which. ;)
And THEN, just when I thought life couldn't get any better, I have new reviews, new fans and new nods from the Forbidden Awards AND from the Children of Time Awards. All three nods are a serious case of SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!! and a validation that -- though all my veteran fans make sure that my ego is well-stroked -- I very much appreciate. I'm still a relative newcomer to the DW/TW fanfiction universe, so after a rather rough Rookie year, it's nice to have such positive feedback.
ophymirage and I will keep y'all updated when the time comes for voting. As of this posting, "Faithful" is up for "Best Group Sex: Torchwood" (Forbidden Awards); "Ecstasy" is up for Best in Genre, Torchwood AU (Children of Time); and my "Fifty Things" series are up for Best Listfic (Children of Time).
Hopefully, I'll have some titles to defend. And if not, it really IS an honour to be nominated. THANK YOU!
And, just when I had a working draft, I got my first paying gig as a screenwriter. It's a nominal fee and a small job, but every little bit counts. That got me distracted (paying gigs and good contacts do that), so I'm running behind. BUT! I'm working on the new draft. I'm gonna try to get it to O tonight. [O: *nods agreeably, surreptitiously presses button on very fancy, counts-by-days stopwatch*]
As always, the sex scene ran about twice as long as I'd planned. [O: And OMG, about 100K on the Scoville scale. Wait till y'all see it.] That means I should be able to give you two chapters before Sunday.
*laces fingers, cricks knuckles, and gets back to work*
