It got to be so late last night by the time I was going to post, that I was nodding off in front of the computer. So I'm here early (for me) today.
My dtc story is almost done, I'm working on the end which should have a certain amount of sentiment, but right now just seems too sentimental. The rest of it is very dependent on dialogue, I've put it aside for a couple of days so that I can look at it with a fresh eye when I fine tune it.

I finished my MFU ep review (http://elmey.livejournal.com/13342.html), it is pure wank with no squee, so not safe for casual audience ;)

Since I put my story aside, I decided to play a bit more with a Harry Beldon:

"Illya!" Harry Beldon's voice boomed over the intercom. Still smarting from the lost argument against the standardization of UNCLE offices worldwide, he refused to accommodate himself to the microphones and the soundproof metal walls and shouted at the same volume he'd used to summon his subordinates through drywall and plaster.

Illya winced and turned down the sound on his desk speaker. It had been an uncharacteristically late and over-indulgent night. "Yes sir?"

"Solo just called in from Tempelhof. The fog has grounded all flights out today. You might as well go pick him up and bring him back here."

Well done for almost finishing!

And I do like Harry Beldon, bellowing through office walls. Especially when Illya has a hangover.

Putting things aside before editing works well for me too.

Hah! A man who wears a brocade dressing-gown to work is my kind of spy.

Keep going, almost there!

If I am ever a (female) spy, I shall certainly wear a brocade dressing gown.

Good idea to put the other project to one side for a bit, and even better to keep writing on another project as you do so!

Your "Man From UNCLE" writing sounds fun.

Nice bit there. Poor Illya with a hangover and Beldon's booming voice.

Congrats for almost finishing.

I'm looking forward to reading all the DTC stories. I just love looking to see what's been posted. It sounds like you've gotten a lot written this month.

Harry Beldon, what a colorful character!

I wonder, was Beldon responsible for shopping malls, by any chance? I can't tell one from the other...
