Harpies Bizarre

Sorry I haven't been feeling terribly communicative of late - I guess the old black dog has been sniffing around and has outstayed his welcome. RL stuff has been getting me down for various reasons - I was hoping to get back to the UK this month to give my family a good talking to, but it looks like I won't be able to go now until August. Oh, well. they'll have to wait.

On the plus side, I have begun modding at OWL, under annie's eagle eye.
I have completed a chapter of Epiphany. Won't be posting it on any archives until I've done the follow up chapter though in case I need to edit. (It is up on my IJ comm but under a flock :)

Oh, and if anyone can tell me why a cd refuses to format (I'm trying to do a back up disk) I'd be glad of the help.

Do any of you know/have travelled to Düsseldorf, please? If so, have you any recommendations for hotels/restaurants. Thanks

Had a lovely surprise in the post this morning. juniperus sent me some BPAL imps. I have been mostly wearing Mag Mell and sniffing my wrists compulsively all afternoon. I'm looking forward to trying the others - I can see me becoming addicted quite easily.
In other news, my wood burning stove has been connected at long last, so we now have a source of heat in the evenings.

On the beta front, I've had my first ss/hg exchange fic through, which was both unusual and excellent - I think the recipient will be chuffed with it.

Also Sylvanwood's A most Important Element in Water is hotting up - lovely smutty chapter will be up soon.

My own writing is continuing to be rather turgid - just can't seem to get into my stride at all. Even writing drabbles is like pulling teeth. Everything seems like too much of an effort. Hope it passes soon...

Wrote a drabble very late last night forgrangersnape100 - wasn't sure about it, but anyway it's posted at the link below

Incompatibility Factor

In other news, i went to the dentist this morning expecting a filling only to have the tooth extracted. Feeling a bit wobbly and the taste of antiseptic in my mouth is disgusting. Worst thing, I can't eat or drink for another hour. :(

Despite being completely cream-crackered after all the floor scrubbing (now all done, thank God), I've managed to actually write some more Epiphany (Good job I checked a previous chapter - almost made a glaring error) and knock out a drabble for lj's grangersnape100 community's Nickname challenge.
