Always Calm

[louiselux]

I think I need some Always Calm spray. In a big bottle. I can spray it all over myself before I go to work thus enabling myself to cope with my team leadering angst, which I feel very keenly at the moment.

In other news, I have done two springkink stories, and have come up with an idea for a third. The fourth languishes. The highwayman Saiuki AU has turned into a 38 page epic, featuring wilfull misuse of cravats, etc.

Also, jamjar pointed me at goodreads, so I got an account, here.



It's different to librarything, with the emphasis on having a friendslist and sharing reviews, where librarything seems more about cataloguing and listing.

Are your minions not being good? *shakes fist at minions* I think everyone needs a bath in Always Calm right now.

Am still spreadsheeting. Will it never end????????

Also, have only now remembered springkink, when you said. *weeps*

[louiselux.livejournal.com]

Oh noes! How many did you sign up for?

[daegaer.livejournal.com]

I signed up for seven, as I am an eejit. I wrote one yesterday and a short one just now. Argh!

[louiselux.livejournal.com]

You can do it. I have faith in your powers of fic-producing!!

[vom-marlowe.livejournal.com]

Ooooh, more smelly stuff. *Quickly hits the back button before I succumb*

Booo on the team leader stuff. Booo wirk.

I finally got your chocolate and Tenpou essence in the mail! I think, er, you may be pleased about another surprise in there relating to a current WIP. *Looks shifty* Our postal system changes regs and is now insane, so it took me some time to get the right paperwork.

Mmmmm, cravats.....

[puddingcat.livejournal.com]

Tenpou essence? Dare I ask?

[vom-marlowe.livejournal.com]

Muahahaha.

But of course! BPAL makes a scent called Dragon's Hide. "Flame-kissed, warm, smooth, and highly protective. Dragon’s blood, leather and a hint of smoke." I sent her an imp. I feel strongly that it is Tenpou InnaBottle.

[puddingcat.livejournal.com]

Ah, I thought it would be BPAL, though I guessed at Miskatonic University :)

Dragon's blood always smells like bitter marmalade to me. Now, Tenpou & toast & marmalade - *that's* a nice thought!

[louiselux.livejournal.com]

Oh, I can't wait! :D My very own Tenpou inna bottle. Everyone needs one!

My own book stuff, that you may or may not find helpful:

Slashy Books I've Read (http://viridian.shriftweb.org/slashybooks.htm), for if you're looking for something with m/m or f/f

Books I've reviewed on LiveJournal (http://viridian5.livejournal.com/tag/books). In some cases I talk about them more in the comments. I've tagged all the way to years back.



Yay for willful misuse of cravats!

[louiselux.livejournal.com]

Oh, brilliant! Those reviews are great. My, you've read a lot of slashy books. :)

[viridian5.livejournal.com]

Thanks!

How I was brought into online slash: In college I would lend a friend favorite books, and she noticed that the majority of them had m/m. Not that she minded. In 1997, when she found out that I had achieved internet, she sent me the URL for the main X-Files Mulder/Krycek archive, figuring that it would be right up my alley. And thus was my slash career born.

*explodes in sheer joy at the thought*

[louiselux.livejournal.com]

Heee. *fixes you back together*

[mistressrenet.livejournal.com]

Oh, I loved Never Let Me Go. I have an account too, I'll friend you.

[mistressrenet.livejournal.com]

This will explain what name I friended you under too. (http://mistressrenet.livejournal.com/195932.html)

[louiselux.livejournal.com]

Thanks for that link!!

[hibem.livejournal.com]

wilfull misuse of cravats!!!!

Has a more bracing phrase ever been penned?

[louiselux.livejournal.com]

Hahahaha.

I feel like I've bigged up the cravat misuse too much now.

[viridian5.livejournal.com]

That cravat misuse will have to be spectacular to live up to expectations now! ::insert "muwahahahahaa!"::
