Space is doing another Merlin marathon today - season 2 this time. If only I was in charge of the remote in my household. :(

hd_holidays reveals are today. Shit! I need another week to catch up! I've been concentrating on writing and now I have a pile of untouched printed fic and I've so behind on commenting on those that I did read. FAIL!

I swear the word count of the last week of hd_holidays posting was bigger than the entire fest at merlin_holidays. Which 25k+ fic to read first when reveals are in a few hours. :/

No Merlin marathon here. We've got a Star Trek marathon on instead. :(

Still, we're watching soccer. Italian soccer. MY LIFE. :(
At half time I saw 10 minutes of Sins of the Father -- it was cruel.

No Merlin here either, but son leaves for Cub Scouts soon and the remote shall be mine... mine. :D

Good Golly Missy... you have a lot of reading to do. Enjoy?

[marguerite-26.livejournal.com]

YAY hope the remote is yours now.
:)

Yes, lots of reading. Those Harry/Draco shippers write A LOT OF WORDS. OMG. >.>

I manage to re-catch a cold (so did E) ugh. So all my big reading plans went out the window. I have a few big ones left to read after the reveal (although the fics I have left weren't really mystery authors).

I'm excited to see the reveals. There's a handful of fics that I really adored and I have no clue who might have written them. I'm hoping for some cool surprises. I love finding new authors.

OH NO!!! *hands you tissue*

(although the fics I have left weren't really mystery authors).

heh. yeah - that's a bit of my problem too. It's like... I know who wrote all these and they've already been recced everywhere and I know I'm going to love them ... but I'll love them next week too!

Yes, very excited for reveals. I'll be stalking a few new authors I think! :D

I haven't had a chance to read them all yet, but I look forward to the reveals. Hopefully I'll discover some new writers.

[marguerite-26.livejournal.com]

My favourite part! Fresh, talented faces to heap love on. :D

I don't know how you keep up with all the stuff you read. I can't even keep up with the Merlin highlights. I think they had a Merlin marathon here on Syfy a couple of days ago.

I don't know how you keep up with all the stuff you read.
hee! apparently not very well. :)
It's especially hard when I'm trying to write as well, because reading and reccing take so much time out of writing. I need to take a bit of a reading break just to get my WIP done.

the word count of the last week of hd_holidays posting

I know, right?! The last week was packed with some of the longest fic. And even though I'm currently trying to read one per day, I'm behinder than behind >_> Oh well, here's hope authors will also check for my gushing after the reveals!

It's great you got some writing done, though!

[marguerite-26.livejournal.com]

One a day is a good policy! but yeah... still so hard when you get a 40k fic.

Author ADORE post-reveal gushes! That way they can reply as gushes are recieved which is much nicer.

I'm coding one last anon rec post now, and then I'm done. *fwump* Still so much to read, but I have to stop with the pre-reveals pressure!

[marguerite-26.livejournal.com]

Saw UR recs!!! You are so devoted. I should just point everyone to you. :D

Ha, someone was just talking to me about one of the long stories in merlin holidays. I was like, well, that fic is average length for an H/D fest!

[marguerite-26.livejournal.com]

yeah... there were a 2-3 long one in hols, but like there was a 20k+ posted every second day at hd_hols! it was INSANE. :D
