Finished Chapter 11 and posted it to AO3 and otherworlds_lib, as an Advent-opening gift for Torchwood fans.

[spikesgirl58.livejournal.com]

Well done! :D

[curiouswombat.livejournal.com]

Well done you!

[akane42me.livejournal.com]

Congratulations! What a lovely gift:)

[adafrog.livejournal.com]

Yay!

[ylla.livejournal.com]

Woohoo!

[elmey.livejournal.com]

Oh nice! That's a great treat for the fans.

I assume you've seen that Captain Jack is back in the Dr Who New Year's program?

I gave myself the day off because I am done with my Christmas fics. :DD A new record, even for me. I will admit that I sort of fudged the last prompt because it was a mishmash of things, but it ended up at 3476 words.

He glanced at the first direction - soak fruit and nut in vodka. Make sure to test vodka as this will make a difference in the… It took him a moment to translate the word …the quality of your final product.

That was easy. He went back out and pulled another bottle from the package. He knew the bottle they were using was good, but it was half gone. He’d better test this one as well just to be sure.

He carried it carefully back to the kitchen, paused to drain his glass, and poured some of the new vodka in it. A swig and he gasped. Yup, perfect.

Napoleon dumped the dried fruit and nuts into a bowl and covered the mixture with the vodka. He took a drink from the nearly empty bottle, just to be sure it was good all the way down. Then he started the pesky task of converting grams to ounces.

Sounds like the best way to cook, to me!

[wiseheart.livejournal.com]

You wrote an amazing amount during this session. If I had a hat I'd take it off now. *g*

[akane42me.livejournal.com]

Congratulations on finishing all your Christmas stories! It's not even December!! Awesome!

I have a feeling the conversion calculation is going to be a little off:D

[adafrog.livejournal.com]

Holy cow! Go you.

[elmey.livejournal.com]

Are you sure the combination of Napoleon and vodka is a good idea ??

I suppose the proof will be in the pudding (or fruitcake) :D

[ylla.livejournal.com]

That's impressive. You'll have to write Easter fics in December ;)

Today I posted the chapter I completed to my usual 2 archives - and considered whether I should post the series to AO3 (Some of my things are there, transferred from the old Henneth Annun Story Archive along with the rest of that site - but my long series stories weren't allowed on HASA because they began as a cross-over, and cross-overs weren't allowed even if a man with a red flag walked in front of them, or they rang a bell and called 'leper!' ). Maybe I will but not right now.

And I have almost finished betaing another chapter for Ellyn.

[wiseheart.livejournal.com]

I left HASA early on because all of the mean-spirited hostility that went on there and the Yahoo Group of the same name. I think you should post to AO3. It is a very tolerant site, even though the feedback is rare like hens' teeth.

[akane42me.livejournal.com]

Congratulations on posting the chapter! Very nice accomplishment. And I salute your beta work!

[adafrog.livejournal.com]

Great progress!

[spikesgirl58.livejournal.com]

Well, done! That's weird about not allowing cross overs, though

[elmey.livejournal.com]

Congratulations on another completed chapter! And beta work is hard, but so important for all of us writers. Good for you for doing that as well.

[akane42me.livejournal.com]

10 minutes on the WIP and an hour putting together a post for tomorrow. One day left of pico! I may be free to spend some extra time on writing tomorrow.

[spikesgirl58.livejournal.com]

I hope you will have great success today!

Notes from my small group meeting today.

[curiouswombat.livejournal.com]

Good stuff.

[candidlily.livejournal.com]

2500 words! Feeling good about the month! I'll have a more detailed update tomorrow. :)

[curiouswombat.livejournal.com]

Excellent!

I bought some Christmas cards with OCTOPUSES on them. (No one else is quite as excited about this as me.)

Apart from that I'm still making more progress on knitting projects than writing projects (although I do have quite a lot of knitting projects, so this isn't entirely a bad thing). 123 words on the Pentlands, mostly filling in little gaps now I know where the photos are going.

I'd started out very early, simply because I didn't have any lights for my bike so couldn't be out in the dark on the way home, and it was a stunning morning - worth getting up early on a Sunday for, although as I reached the hills the clouds were just beginning to gather over them.

[spikesgirl58.livejournal.com]

People can be weird about octopuses.

Well done!
