That Was A Surprise

[ithildin]

My lovely Christmas Cactus wasn't actually pining for the fjords -- it was dead :( (What? You thought this was going to be a post about the new Doctor?) I was working on cleaning up the patio yesterday and got covered in cobwebs and mud and crud. And I'm trying to decide on what plants to try and take. I had this massive Xmas Cactus that just would come out in masses of bloom. It's been looking peaked, and when I moved it, found out it had actually rotted away at the base. Bummer.

I've gotten a lot more packing done, waiting on another box shipment to come in. We're also eating almost soley out of the freezer this week. Want to try and use up as much as I can. Tonight we're using up the chicken thighs by making a chicken dish with a Calvados and apple cream sauce. As soon as my tea steeps, I'm going to start at packing again.

On the writing front, I have two complete stories to post once strangevisitor7 finishes posting The Truth Is Immortal (which is mucho gusto and you should go read!) Hopefully, people will like this attempt at M7 better than the last one. I promise, no children this time! Just grownups. I'm hoping once the move is over, I'll start writing as much as I used to [knock wood]

There is absolutely nothing wrong with brilliantly written Little Ezra, especially when the story is so integral to the whole Ezra and Charlotte relationship. But as someone who had made a point of looking for good Mag7 kidfic, I gotta tell you, it is few and far between. (Is there even any kidfic in "Highlander"? Little!Methos...umm, yeah probably not :P)

I loved "A Quarter For Your Shoe", and I'm amazed you managed to keep Maude so perfectly in character yet sympathetic, which I know could never do. (and there you go teasing me with the promise of more fic, you ...you tease, you!)

Thanks :) I've never really wanted to write a canon character as a child before, but I had the urge to, so I went with it. But I realize it isn't everyone's cup of tea :)

I'm glad you liked my Maude. I think even unsympathetic characters deserve some dimensions [g] and the more I write her, the more she fascinates me.

I've never come across any Methos as a child fic, though there's probably some out there. I think pat_t wrote a story about his mother. I think [g]
