Rambling: Merry Christmas!


Hello my lovelies!!

Just a quick note to say thank you to everyone for making 2009 bearable!  Whenever things got bad this year (and trust me, this year they really did) I would just go back and read all your wonderful comments to brighten my day.  I wish I had another chapter for you today, but things have been... not great here.  To illustrate, my mother just got back from taking my grandmother to the emergency room (severe chest pains, could barely breathe).  We were just about to sit down to a nice roast beast and all hell broke loose. *sigh*  Luckily, the doctors are pretty sure it was just a reaction to her new medication and she's back home now but it was pretty scary there for a bit.

Anyway, I just wanted to say Merry Christmas to one and all!  I have a fic almost finished for [livejournal.com profile] bookwrm89  and [livejournal.com profile] cjharknessgirl's banner challenge.  I hope to get it posted by the 12/31 deadline.  Oh, and I have followed the good example of [livejournal.com profile] thrace_adams  and others and made PDF's of my two big fics (Vizzini's Rule and To The Pain).  You can follow the links to download if you'd like a copy.

Thank you again for all your love and support in 2009.  I wish you all the best in 2010!!

**HUGS**

**smishes you right back** It was my pleasure, sweetie. I'm just glad I could help at all, cuz you help me out all the time!

Woo! Beta! I will hopefully get some writing done tomorrow??? :D I think I might fib about when roomie's plane is due so I can bail early on Sunday and get some writing done while I wait for her to get in. I'm so evil!

[identity profile] thrace-adams.livejournal.com 2009-12-27 02:26 am (UTC)(link)
*smish* Oh I love that icon :)

GAH....we had a late night tonight...I will try to get some done tonight...but most likely it won't be until Monday. But I promise you will have it before you need to post.

Oh yes....Get more writing done :) We're skipping the chat tomorrow right???

[identity profile] buttononthetop.livejournal.com 2009-12-27 03:48 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, prolly no chat tomorrow. Roomie's plane comes in right around our time plus I'm going to be spending all day helping move my grandfather so it's gonna be a "fun" day.

**hugs** No worries on the beta, hun! :)

[identity profile] thrace-adams.livejournal.com 2009-12-27 03:51 am (UTC)(link)
Boo to no chat. *sigh* Sorry you're going to be having such a "fun" day tomorrow. But that means no more air mattress when you go visit your parents right???

Thanks - how is the writing coming???? Can't wait to see the rest of it :)

*HUGS*

[identity profile] buttononthetop.livejournal.com 2009-12-27 04:09 am (UTC)(link)
Yep, big time boo! Maybe some other time during the week will work.

LOL, the writing has been coming about one paragraph at a time. *facepalm* I think I swung it that I can leave pretty early tomorrow. Maybe I'll have some time before roomie's plane. *fingers crossed*

[identity profile] thrace-adams.livejournal.com 2009-12-27 04:10 am (UTC)(link)
Love your Ianto Pout icon :) I'm sure we'll find some other time during the week.

GAH I know the feeling...I have had a VERY BAD writing week...LOL - YAY for leaving early and hopefully getting some writing time :)

[identity profile] buttononthetop.livejournal.com 2009-12-27 04:23 am (UTC)(link)
Oh yeah. We didn't get to bed until after midnight last night with all the drama and the [insert expletive here] cat got me up at 5:30. Ugh.

**hugs** We'll play the chatting by ear and be sure it happens.

[identity profile] thrace-adams.livejournal.com 2009-12-27 04:25 am (UTC)(link)
Damn cat! *giggles* :)

***Hugs*** I'm sorry you've been having a rough time.

Merry Christmas, hon! Thank you so much for the PDF's I'm downloading them and look forward to re-reading one of my favorite series in the fandom.

[identity profile] buttononthetop.livejournal.com 2009-12-26 06:39 am (UTC)(link)
Oh thanks hun!! It's just been one thing after another. I have high hopes that 2010 will be MUCH better!

I'm so glad you liked the PDFs!! I wasn't sure anyone would want them, but I finally figured out how to use MegaUpload so I thought I'd put the links out there.

*I* need to read Heboca!! Thrace said it was amazing!

[identity profile] bookwrm89.livejournal.com 2009-12-26 07:14 am (UTC)(link)
*blushes* I hope you enjoy it half as much as I've enjoyed your stories.

[identity profile] cjharknessgirl.livejournal.com 2009-12-26 05:39 am (UTC)(link)
Oh I'm glad your grandmother is back home, that sounds scary. *hugs* I hope she feels better, hon.

Yay to writing something for the banner challenge! *is excited* I can't wait to read it! :)

And woohoo to the PDF's! Thank you! *squees and downloads*

Merry Christmas, sweetie! *hugs* I give you Ianto in UNIT uniform. ;) Doesn't he look good?

[identity profile] buttononthetop.livejournal.com 2009-12-26 07:02 am (UTC)(link)
Guh!! Jack approves of UNIT!Ianto and is now lost in thought thinking of what he can do with that red cap!! :D

Oh thank you, hun. **hugs** It's so scary to think that something might happen to her. She's 86 and has a pacemaker, but I still think of her as when I was little. *sigh*

Merry Christmas sweetie! I hope you like the banner fic I did - it's a total AU! My first!! :D

[identity profile] cjharknessgirl.livejournal.com 2009-12-26 08:00 am (UTC)(link)
*giggles* I'm glad that Jack approves and I'm sure he has some innovative thoughts about what to do. ;) We can thank Thrace for UNIT Ianto, I was making her a bookcover for Games and convinced Ianto to dress up. :)

You're welcome, hun. *hugs* Aww, I'm keeping you and her in my thoughts. And I know what you mean my grandpa is in his seventies but I still think of him that way too.

I'm sure I'll love it! :) Ooh, yay to writing your first AU! *claps*

*goes off to read Vizzini's Rule*

dear Button, I hope you get your wish and an angstfree 2010 ...Hmm let me rephrase that: I hope you get a RL angstfree 2010.
We need a bit of angst in the fics just to keep the adrenaline at a nice level. Hope your gran lives to be very very very old.
Have a good another 11 days of Christmas and we will see your stories when you are good and ready to post them. Thanks for the PDF's, I am going to spend my bonus monies on an E reader so I can read all the fics that have appeared in PDF format whenever and wherever.
Hugs and love form Jacqueline

*sending lots of hugs* Hope 2010 is a whole lot better for you. I love reading your fics and have just downloaded Vizzini's Rule and To the Pain. Many thanks for doing that. :)

*Snuggles pretty pdf's* sends lots of hugs and hopes 2010 will be a good year for you (and everyone else)

Thank you so much for all your lovely stories (and for their pdf incarnations), which have kept me entertained through this year and last. I hope you're able to enjoy the rest of Christmas and 2010 is a big improvement on 2009.

[identity profile] ab-n0rmal.livejournal.com 2009-12-27 04:10 am (UTC)(link)
PDFs? For me? Why, I never expected anything so wonderful! What a lovely gift! :D

Here's to 2010. If it's not better, I say we go on a roadtrip and make somebody pay...

A late Merry Christmas to you too. Sorry about the lateness of reply but my brother was visiting from Texas. *Hugs for your holiday hecticness*

Here's to 2010 being better than 2009. Oh, and thanks for the PDF's! :)
