a bit off subject, but I'm wondering if you're still working on the Xander in Africa fic? I want to know what happens next!

[liz-marcs.livejournal.com]

I am, actually.

It's just the past two months have been...not conduscive to writing at all. I'm not blocked (far from it) it's just that RL seems to have thrown me in a tornado.

I'm planning to post a "downpayment" for my own Fic-A-Thon (because it wuld be totally lame if I didn't), then I'm going back to finish Facing the Heart in Darkness. Problem is that RL has kicked me so hard sidewise, that I have to do some re-reading to get my mind back into it to make sure the closing three chapters fit the rest of the story.

And I seem to recall a few other stories I'd love to see more of.

Like that one where Xander is in a coma, for far too long now. Or the one where Buffy and Xander need to speak the truth to each other. Amongst others. Mean RL. :)

RL has been bumpy, but nothing that can't be navigated. It's just eaten into a lot of my time.

[midnightsjane.livejournal.com]

Oh, good. Well, not good that RL has been whirling you about, but good that the story is going to get finished!

I really need to put out a blanket apology for WiPs. :-)

Sadly, there's no way I'm going to have anything ready by deadline. I have an idea, but it's going to remain just an idea for the foreseeable future.

Who knew that the middle would be such a beast? Still got a beginning. Still got an ending, but getting together is like trying to juggle a slinky, the darn middle part keeps going all over the place!

Don't sweat your own WiPs. It's like Heinz ketchup, the good stuff takes longer, but quality is worth the wait. :)

I hate to do this to you, Set, but can you hold off and resubmit this when I have the masterpost up?

Because I'm going to guarantee that I'm going to forget that you submitted the link. Not because I'm being a bitch, but because my RL is kind of teh buzy right now that I've got a mind like a seive.

[set-aka-ian.livejournal.com]

Will do. I just got it finished and was bursting with enthusiasm to get it out of my head-space so I could get back to the other fifty bazillion things I'm supposed to be doing with my three bickering brain cells. :)

I don't have anything along this line to submit myself but... do the rules allow nominating someone else's writing? Because I just read a really excellent trilogy that's exactly what you're after.

Bah, I had an idea, and wrote the first paragraph before life came around and kicked me. So, I'm not going to be able to participate after all. Sorry.
