Fic pimpin', and just a wee rant.

foxmonkeyFIC PIMPIN'!
Pimpin' two stories of mine. Beauty. Queen. was written for the Slash-Across-America challenge; my state was Ohio. Hey! My state!
Second story being pimped is Valentine, which was to have been part of the Chasez Lake series.
I think I whined about this in an earlier LJ entry; since CL more or less follows the happenings and whereabouts of the Syncers this past holiday season, J+B threw a monkeywrench into this story when they didn't spend Valentine's Day together (oddly enough, we're probably just finding out now why they weren't together then). Anyway, since it was written ahead of time, it completely threw the story out of whack. So Valentine stands on its own.
I may or may not write something completely different to go in Chasez Lake, or I might end the series with Justin's birthday. Haven't yet decided. ::muses::
Mini-rant on: Waah! What is it about one person of a three-person team being off that inspires a second member of said THREE-person team to be off at the same time? And why does it seem to have happened two or three times in the last few months?
Is this aggravating? Yes. It's bad enough when the three of us are there, but holy friggin' cow, holding down the fort by oneself can be wiggy.
AND said second member may or may not have had a pile of old work on her desk that should have been taken care of days ago. Rather than disturb her pile (as the boss wondered if I should), it seemed to me that I'd waste valuable hours of work time just trying to figure out what needed to be done before I even started. Suffice it to say that I concentrated on whittling away my own rather formidable pile of work.
And, woohoo! My pile is lots smaller. :-) Here's hoping that the mysterious ailment/emergeny isn't repeated tomorrow. Mini-rant off.

Speaking of Chasez Lake. *pokes foxmonkey* When's the next part going to be out? Because you've made us wait so long!

In any event; those were some *damn* good reads, yo. Hee!

Loved Ever-Fixed Mark. Aiiii! That one made me swoon. Other favorites are Nightstream, and Sex, Lies & Joey's Videotapes. Also Evolution...ok, gotta stop now, because, yes. :-)

Date: 2002-03-27 07:43 pm (UTC)Love you, too, and I'd love you more if you'd make me happy and work on that story, the title of which I Promised Never Again to Mention. *ahem* Don't make me get out my whip! ::crack::

I can't believe New Year's increased in volume the way it did. On its own, I think it's going to be the longest NSync fic that I've written...what am I saying, I think? It already is! The last part was seriously kicking my ass, and I've finally gotten it to a place where I can whip it into shape. Now that my SAA story is done, I can get my brain in a Chasez Lake groove!
