Gratuitous whine

Still in a foul mood. Unable to write. Too many WIPs, I think:

Perdition, Will (Spike/Willow flashfic), Flight of Fancy, Sifting Through the Wreckage, 2x Sixty Minutes (1x fluff, 1x sequel), Flashfic-a-thon story. And I have to write an original fiction till the end of the month.

Plus Marcee has asked me to get started on the next chapter of Things Present - Things Past. She's too busy to write her scene.

Daughter number 2 is constantly naughty, never does what she's told. Husband is in a bad mood. I hate Saturdays.

Oooh, that's quite a platefull you've got there.
I look forward to your co-production with [livejournal.com profile] ladycat777. That should be interesting.
I read your Xander/Angerl secret slasha and really liked the flow and rhythm of the piece. Lovely language, good economic depiction of emotion. I am now determined to read your other stuff.

Like most authors I whine if people read some of my stories and avoid others because they don't like the pairings, but I'm guilty of the same thing. I never sought out Angel/Wes stories (even though I wrote one), maybe because I feel like Wes is either Mr. Right for Lilah or for Spike. But I suppose I will have to mend my ways. :-D
I want to read "Take that Longing" when it's finished.
I also plan on reading "Tea and Bicuits" - I heard it's good.

I've only co-written with Marcee so far. But Ladycat and I beta each other's stuff and there are instances in which the betaing borders on co-writing.

Good luck with your WIPs.

Yes, I'm guilty of this, too. I'd actually read almost no Angel/Xander until I was assigned that Secret Slasha pairing, and since then I've read some very good stuff in that pairing. For the most part, though, I'm pretty widely pairing-friendly. If it's good, I'll read it.

Don't feel like you have to read my stuff just because I'm commenting on your LJ! I'd be delighted if you liked any of it, but you shouldn't feel obligated. :-)

Good luck on your WIPs, too. I will be good and not beg you to focus on the one series I'm particularly enamored of.

Or perhaps that should read story I'm particularly enamored of. Depending on which word you like to use.
