Let's Talk About Sex

I wish I could post in two columns. If I could, I'd post the old version of LTAS part 10 in the left column, and the new version in the right column, for people to compare. I just polished another chapter. I know, I spent way too long on a project that's basically old news, but I'm pleased with the result. Which is why I'm posting the new version behind the cut, and linking you to the old version, in case you'd like to compare the two. And no, I won't repost the whole series here, but today I feel extra proud.

LTAS was my first ever slash fic. I'm fond of it, but I always felt it needed another polish. Back then, I was so much happier, when writing. I had no real clue what I was doing, just merrily typed away. These days I've read so many books on writing, have studied so many aspects of writing, that I'm practically paralyzed by the multitude of decisions that I face whenever I sit down in front of my computer. Bah. Polishing this old series at least dismantles the nostalgic fantasy that I was a better writer back then. More prolific? Yes. Better? Nope. :-)
BTW: If you spot any mistakes, please please please let me know. I no longer have a regular beta to send my stories to. (I know I haven't fixed every POV glitch, only most of them)

Also, I am eager to grab the opportunity to show off my beautiful new icon, which essene made for me.

Previous polished chapters are here.
The old version of part 10 is here.

Dead Zone / The Director Who Films Your Life - QUIZ

Help! The S2 Dead Zone files I downloaded via bittorrent? Well, some are out of synch, the rest neither VLC nor WMP are willing to play. Even GSpot can't recognize them as proper avi files. Is there anyone out there who has S2 (and possibly S3) on file and who could burn me a copy of S2? Or maybe send me the epis via Yousendit? I was able to watch 2x01, ignoring the out-of-synch-ness, but 2x02 to 2x06 are defect. Pretty please?

( And now for a stupid quiz thing behind the cut... )
