A note to self post.

I am super duper def blow out crazy busy at the moment, which means I cannot write as much as I want/need/require. Thusly I have backlog of ideas I haven't been able to process.

Normally I'm pretty good about knowing what stories I want to write, you know, since I *want* to write them and there only tend to be two or three really sticky ones at any given time. At the moment, however, I've taken to post-its and comments in other people's LJs (Sorry, Q!)to keep track and I just can't carry on like that. So, for my own edification:

1. Forever is a Mighty Long Time. Reincarnation!Merlin. Summary: You always know where you stand with walls. The same cannot be said for people. People are born, they live, they die. Walls, at least for a proper building, they don't move. You don't have to wait for them to come back.

2. Get Some. GK HS AU. I believe [livejournal.com profile] thisisbone is responsible for this title. Hey, it only took me three months to capitulate. Some people have to work me for YEARS to get what they want.

3. Boys in Lust and Stupidity: a Story in Spring Time. Merlin. The title is pretty self explanatory. And there will be sex. Copious amounts of it. And also allergies. And possibly flowers in somebody's hair, I dunno yet.

4. I'll Put Us Back Together at Heart. Merlin AU. Merlin as the prince of Camelot, Arthur is his manservant. Yes, that title came to me today when I was listening to the 80s station, because I am an 80s baby and if you're too young to know where it comes from, please don't tell me.

Oh god, my head hurts just looking at this list. Dear Buddha, please do not let all of these be more than 100 pages combined. I know, I laugh at me too, but if I could get just one of these to beta, by like, next week Friday (no, not that GK one, that's a real project), that would be fucking AWESOME.

Seriously? *faints* How much would you be writing if the non-important part of your life didn't keep on infringing on your writing time? Damn, I wish I had your mad writing skills. And you should send your beta cookies. Seriously.

(Is that Bowie and Iman in your icon?)

LOL, well, this part is pretty important, tbh. And I tend to type pretty fast, so that helps a lot. I could send my betas cookies, but they might not be so good by the time they got where they need to go. But they do have my undying gratitude, which I hope they know, and also, I tend to write for them on demand, so you know, it's not all bad.

And yes, Mr and Mrs Bowie for the win :)

I see your sigh!Stephen and raise you a sigh!Stephen.

Shame about the cookies but I suppose undying gratitude does have it's perks.

They're adorable. :O) I love how everyone pronounces her name correctly, despite how it's spelled, whereas mine's almost spelled phonetically and everyone gets it wrong.

I should probably make my last sentence clearer, she and I share our name. It leads to funny moments of "Like the model Iman?" while I stand there in all of my short, pudgy, brown glory.
