this and that

Okay, the fanfiction pseudo-DVD commentary meme thingie is still making the rounds and people are asking each other questions about writing and outlining, so I'll be a good little lemming and jump off the cliff:
Do you have any questions about any of my stories? About the creative processes, about some of the choices I made? Would you like a commentary about one of them? It might take me a moment to answer but hey, what author doesn't like talking about her stuff, right?

This is also a good opportunity to tell me which of my zillion WIPs (other than Perdition) I should finish next. I can handle the pressure, don't worry. Right now I feel a weird scattered pressure to finish them all. I think a definitive target is more easy to handle, so please, let me know which WIPs you remember and desire. :-)

I also wanted to let everybody know that I seem to be unable to go into AOL right now, so I can't get at my mails. So if you've commented to an older post or if you sent me an email, I don't know about it yet. I just hope this will sort itself out by tomorrow.

My AtS download is at 8% - ETA: in 14 hours. *sigh*

I'm exhausted because the kids were difficult all day. I should be translating but I'm too... dunno.... restless, I guess. Can't write. Can't read. Am clicking aimlessly on links, scanning LJ posts but feeling unable to concentrate on anything. I even turned my AIM off, which is completely ooc.
Mr. Estepheia tried to be nice and made me lots of coffee today. Maybe it's a caffeine overdose? Then why do I feel so tired?

I'd love to know to love whether you plotted the totality of TPTP in advance - or, to put things more accurately, how much effort went into plotting stuff in advance? Did you take the same planning approach in relation to the character interaction? How much did the finished product differ from the vision?

On a more mundane note, apparently drinking too much coffee and too little water can dehydrate you quite badly, and actually undermine the stimulant effects of the caffeine. Or something like that. So maybe caffeiene does have something to do with the distraction.

Hiya, thanks for asking such an interesting question. I answered in a new (and very lengthy post).

Just felt like letting you know that I love your fics. I don't think I have told you yet.... I guess that's cause it took me a while to connect those stories I've read with *you*! /blush/

By the way: how do you download episodes so quickly? On Kazaa it takes ages. I still haven't seen last week's and don't think I'll be able to for a while...

Awww, thank you very much. Flattery will get you everywhere. ;-)

I use bittorrent. You have to download a spyware free client. Yesterday's epi took about 10 hours or so to download.
You find a link to the epis and the client at buffy.nu

It's a great site anyway, so it's worth checking out.
Hope that helps. :-)
