Kids...

My children are bored. Within the last 90 minutes they must have interrupted my train of thought at least 45 times. *is ready to throttle offspring* They tried to ring friends (but the friends are busy already), now they want to play computer games (which have not yet been installed, and their compi is broken) or playstation (but they argue about which game to play). Grrrrr! They told me about twenty times how bored they are. Bored bored bored.
I think I have to talk to hubby about setting up a halfway decent computer in the kids' room. We have three or four broken computers, it should be possible to glue together one machine suitable for playing.

Actually, the kids have been pretty good these past few days, even when it was time to go to bed. So, I shouldn't complain. But today.... well, I'd love to write and they won't let me and that makes me cross.

*le sigh*

Dealing

I know, I know, you're probably all sick of the subject already, but I wanted to let everybody know that I archived the first 5 chapters of Dealing at my site (without reposting them here in my LJ). It's still a WIP, about half finished.

You can find the chapters listed here. Maybe you read this story a year ago when it was first written, but I'd like to point out that a) I tinkered with the characterisation, b) polished the language a little c) wrote more. I ínserted whole scenes, and I added a new scene at the end. Believe me when I tell you it's a much better story now.

You may leave feedback at my site or you could comment in this thread. If you spot mistakes or inconsistencies, please let me know. Help is always greatly appreciated.

It's odd, I'm proud of this story because it's a darn strange (and difficult) pairing to write, but it's probably my least read story, along with my Riley drabble, my Fred ficlet, my Tara dark-ficlet, and my Lilah/Wes ficlet. The pairing just doesn't push people's buttons, I guess. Oh well, as long as I enjoy writing them.... I will finish this sucker, even if it kills me.

Incidentally, according to my hit counter, the most read story is, Artistry (S/A), followed by the Pandoraverse stories, Mind over Matter (Spike/Gunn/Illyria), other S/X stories and my two Firefly ficlets.

Oh, I should probably list the story in the usual format:

PAIRING: Ethan/Lindsey
RATING: NC-17 for slash and sexual content.
GENRE: Character study, angst, porn with plot, with a tiny dose of hurt/comfort.
SPOILERS: Set during S6 of BtVS, shortly before Seeing Red and during S3 of AtS - Lindsey left W & H a year ago, Ethan got locked up by the Initiative more than two years ago…

Article rec

This article on Firefly is really shiny. Also damn true.
What else is new? Only five (i.e. 5) people read Dealing at my site. I find that depressing. However, I am saved from rending my clothes in abject despair by two kind feedbackers over at yahoo, and by one intrepid reader who seems to be busily digging through all my old stories over at ffnet, and who is leaving really kind feedback. Whoohoo.

Watched Stargate Atlantis epis 1x03 and 1x04 tonight. Our verdict: Predictable, but fun.
