I haven't posted in ages -again, some would say:)-, and I apologise for not being more present, but February had mostly been the Flu Month here, with pneumonia (the hubby), bronchitis and otitis (the son), sinusitis and cracked rib (yours truly) on the side. So any update would have sounded like a kind of coughing dirge, and I thought better not to ( Read more... )

Dear claudia603 and honeyandvinegar, many thanks for the lovely Christmas cards and best wishes. H&V, I'll try to be more present in LJland from now on!:)

*hugs you both*

I hope everybody who celebrate it had (or is still having) a very Merry Christmas, filled with love and happiness.

I thought I'd be able post the second part of First meeting (the nc-17 rated one:)) today, but I haven't finished it (too much smut, I guess). I'm not totally empty handed, though: my struggles with a recalcitrant pastry inspired me ( Read more... )

A big thank you to dear mews1945, julchen11, frolijahfan54 and annwyn55 for the beautiful cards and kind messages (and for the chocolate, annwyn55, although my waistline might complain:)). And lbilover, the curse seems to have been lifted: I got your card today! \o/ Many thanks for the gorgeous card and the adorable ficlet.

I guess everybody has already watched The Hobbit trailer and commented ( Read more... )

Dear frodosweetstuff, thank you very much for the beautifully romantic Yule card! It made my day ( Read more... )

Last month I posted a ficlet based on the "Friends are the best" prompt at fffc, in which I described a relatively canon F/S first meeting. It was very sweet, bordering on saccharine, and for a little while I wondered if I was still able to write something a little less PG ( Read more... )

I've just seen this on Tumblr, and I thought I'd share it. Isn't the carving amazing? Me, every time I've tried to carve a pumpkin, the results looked like... well, like chopped pumpkin. Perfect for a soup or a pie, but not very decorative:)

I haven't posted in months, and I apologise for making myself so scarce. I'm still recovering from the huge breakdown I suffered last spring, and although I'm making good progress, I'm not what you could call healthy. I don't think I'd be able to work again this year, for example, and I didn't want to bore you with complaints or comparisons between ( Read more... )

I wanted to post the second part of my belated Waymeet fic last Sunday, but unfortunately a bad case of flu got the better of me, which is hardly surprising when you've been sneezed on by students for weeks. So I've been basically useless since the last weekend, and unable to do more than cough, swallow lozenges and painkillers by the handful, and ( Read more... )

I started writing the following fic for the last Waymeet challenge, Genre Challenged, but unfortunately I didn't manage to finish it in time, even with the generous extension the mods had given me. It was a disappointment for me, because I really liked the theme and I found the prompts very inspiring. But RL, true to its frustrating self, got in ( Read more... )
