(  Even the Roses )

Not as much as I wanted, but good enough

I didn't get as much done as I wanted this weekend, but I did get some comments answered from the yuletide festivals (2 stories down, 2 more to go), and I did get 2 of those stories posted to LJ. (which makes me 3 stories behind on the website, hmmm.) I also spent a lot of yesterday reading maisierita's novel Forget Me Not, and I thought it totally lived up to the hype. Seriously, great world-building, romance, angst, and both Rodney and John have government-sponsored Amnesia. IN PRISON. With bonus mild servant/master overtones. This is like textual catnip for me, and I really enjoyed rolling around in it reading it.

So now I am only 40 or so posts behind. ;) Still, I'm going to go consume mindless TV for a bit. Tomorrow I'll try to catch up a bit more on comments or something.
