Hospitals are good for Writing

[primsong]

Hugs and thank yous to all who expressed their support - my hubby is safely home now and recuperating nicely on the recliner with his laptop and blankets, so far so good. Nice to have him home and looking much better. Now we just have to convince the cat to not knead any sore spots.

One nice bonus that came out of all that hanging around the hospital twiddling my thumbs was getting my calufrax recommendations for next week pretty much written out, which had been threatening to become something I was going to regret signing up for because I was wondering when I would have a chance to do them - now I get to look forward to next week happily instead as they are nearly ready to roll. All I have to do is hope whomever is doing this week doesn't snag any of 'mine'. Going to doublecheck that, I THEN found out one of my own stories was rec'd there this past week, the TARDIS-centric Knowing Her Place, which is enough happy-writer-review-rocket-juice to keep me floating for some time. ^_^ With little starbursts and rainbows!

Spent the evening writing a Three-n-Jo adventure thing, but I don't really know why... now it's a four-page fragment with no story to go with it, so one more thing on the back burner. But darnit, it was fun. I guess that's why! Maybe I can park it inside one of my other WIPs. Sorry I missed this fic_rush, I hope everyone had a good time.

Good news all round, then!

Good luck with calufrax! I've loved doing it. I've got a new list & mean to volunteer again. That's how much I liked it... Can't wait to see what your choices are - its' always fascinating, even if I don't necessarily go off and read them all, like a good person would.

The problem I keep running into is having nearly all of my faves already done by someone else - last night one of those I'd picked was snagged, in fact, so I have to start over on that one. I hadn't really realized how many recs there already are over there until I started crossing them off.

And yes! I love seeing what catches someone else's eye as well, even if I don't read all of them either.

'having nearly all of my faves already done by someone else'

Heh... yeah, when I was reccing, I had five new authors - two of whom were so good I'd made them get Teaspoon accounts so I could rec them - then to fill out the list I picked my two favorite authors (you and Rutsky) and just went through the tags till I found stories that hadn't been recced yet. Took a while.

I really wanted to do The Shining Furrow, but I just can't get the sheer awesomeness of it into English words. Maybe if I spoke the language Tom Bombadil sings in, "an ancient language whose words were mainly those of wonder and delight". :D

I have a couple that are just light little snippets but they're such fun they deserve more readers, and I was also thinking along the lines of looking for people who have never had a rec before, mixed with a couple old favorites.

Thank you so much for your even considering Furrow, it's still one of my own favorites and I'm always extra pleased to share it with others, hey a-dillo, sing hey!

Heh, yes, it's so funny how often someone in the week before nicks one of your carefully-planned recs, especially when it's not new or anything. ;-)
