of course that's the next question I was going to ask
You can tell it's holiday time because:
1) I have piles of work to do for uni, and I am not doing it.
2) My writing ability is AWOL and will, I fully expect, only deign to return once I am back at uni and trying to do five academic things at once. It has been three months since I posted anything on the heist!AU. I am a terrible human being.
3) I have taken advantage of a slim window of download ability and finally caught up on The Office. omg.
4) I am actually! reading! books! Currently I'm neck-deep in A.S. Byatt's Possession which is like a long, warm, syrupy bath of erudition and poetry-porn. I have vague memories of seeing the film a long time ago and enjoying it because Christabel was the only other role I've ever seen Jennifer Ehle (the original Liz Bennet!) in.
All right, 2) is not entirely true, but I haven't written anything that you would actually care about. I'm waiting for the latest Torchwood fever to calm a little so that![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
pogrebin and I can start work on something, and CLAIRA NEEDS TO EMAIL ME THE NOTES SHE TOOK IN THAT CAFE so we can write our Booth/Brennan fic of amazingness, and I have written a few thousand words on a fic that nobody will read except bookelfe, and she only because I made her read the canon.
Night swoops down and alights on the lawn outside the buildings of Corpus Christi, and in the safety of his room Timothy lights a fire and takes refuge in the classics. Upon his acceptance into Oxford, Uncle Ambrose made him a gift of five handsome leather-bound volumes which have held pride of place on his bookshelf ever since. He pulls down the nearest one, which is also the most well-thumbed, and spends an evening licking his finger and voyaging on the deep seas of the old stories.
I TOLD YOU I WOULD WRITE IT, BECCA.

thank you for putting up with my mad Torchwood procrastination!
WE SHALL CAUSE A METASINGULARITY WITH OUR FIC, AND LO, IT SHALL BE GLORIOUS. :)

Re: thank you for putting up with my mad Torchwood procrastination!
Have you ever read Possession? It seems like the kind of thing that you would have things to say about, because it's ridiculously meta and twisty and elaborate and all about reconstructing history from letters, and academic obsession, and emotional parallels with the past, etc.
I AM SO EXCITED. GRAMMARPOOORN.
Re: thank you for putting up with my mad Torchwood procrastination!
GRAMMARPORN. AND META-METAFIC. Oh yeah.

YOU DID, AND YOU ARE AWESOME. *FULL OF ANTICIPATORY GLEE!*
(Also, Possession! It is one of those books I mean to reread within the next few years, because I read it as a 15-year-old, and enjoyed it a lot, but not with the brain I would enjoy it with now I think!)

hahahah no.

Glad you are well and am looking forward to each of your new writing projects.
Enjoyed the eyai fic so very much and have not managed to comment. I'm not very coherent these days as I've been working on my dissertation like a madwoman. Sorry that I've not commented, but "Three Bags Full" has been read and re-read as a welcome relief from editing and revising, so thank you very much for sharing it.

mainly i wish the actual poems were extant—you know, ash's and christabel's? that was my thing with one of her francesca books, too—i wanted the entirety of the children's story that francesca's roommate is writing, not just the excerpt the book opens with!
