I just ate a 120 g chocolate instead of doing - what I'm supposed to be doing. "runs out of excuses, opens Word, weeps softly"

Yes, well at least you're not in the middle of a full-blown panic attack over the five missing participants and still trying to write your story. I feel too sick to even eat chocolate, and that's saying a lot.

Oh, I know that feeling... sometimes, even window cleaning seems preferable to being creative. I HATE deadlines!

Yep.

Remind me again - why do I do this?

I have procrastination down to an art form :|

I really hate this stage of writing - editing things, cutting all the self-indulgent bits *grumbles*

Thanks for the encouragement, dear - and the hugs *hugs back* :)

Lord, never thought of that... Pity it's after 1 in the morning here, otherwise I know what I'd be doing next.

Thanks, Dagmar *hugs*

I'm not suggesting for one moment that a hug will fix this but (((hugs))) anyway. I'm sure they'll come crawling in. I'm at the point where I'm editing my (really messy) first draft now, so if you need something written that you think I could manage, let me know.

Breathe, sweetie.

Mmmm.... chocolate sounds yummy! hehehe Besides, chocolate has sugar and sugar gives you energy, yes? (I can find any excuse :D )
Good luck though! That is why I decided not to participate in the Secret Santa thing, not to mention that I have a very difficult time writing anything short... or happy....
I love your background. It's so beautiful.

*goes to hunt down more chocolate*

When are the stories due? I *might* be able to pinch hit if you need. I work much better under a deadline/pressure....and depending on the request, I should be able to come up with something. And I'll tell you right away if I can't!

*hugs* I finally managed to stop my procrastinating at least on housework front... of course it means i can start using bakingas a means to proctrastinate some more *lol*

If you ever find the answer, please do tell me. I received this request for another SS... head=>desk. I said I wanted to do canonical stuff. What do they give me? A completely non-canonical pairing. Arrrgggggghhhhh!

Okay, I feel better now.

The deadline *was* 12/8, but they won't be published until the 22nd. As long as we have the story in hand by the 21st, we'll make it.

We've set noon today (that's Eastern time) for them to reply, so I'll let you know at 12:01pm EDT what we still need for stories. At the moment, there are four we haven't heard from. Three are fairly easy requests, but the fourth is a doozie.

Why why WHY do people just not bother? I mean, if they changed their mind or something came up, fine, but at least tell us!

If you *could* help, I would be forever grateful!

Thank you for offering, dear, and I'll keep your offer in mind, if we run out of volunteers.

We've set noon EDT today as the cutoff point, and if we don't hear by then, we'll consider them out. And banned. Hmph.

Right now, we're short four stories. Three are fairly straightforward, but the fourth is going to be tough.

AAAARRRRRRGGGGGGGG.

No one told me that 'happy' was an absolute requirement :|

I've worked it out. Eat chocolate. Get a sugar high. Write. Come down from the sugar high. Crash. Stop writing. Eat chocolate...

Can you overdose on chocolate d'you think?
Just wondered *grins*

Ooh, nice icon.

Go and write something, sweetie. It's too late at night to bake now :)

From: [identity profile] larianelensar.livejournal.com
Yep, still willing to pinch hit if you need, so if you don't hear from them, go ahead and send me the requests if you want...I'll try to pick one...*grin*

To my surprise, the 'tough' one was claimed and squeed upon. *grin*

Three down, one to go, with a couple possibilities.

It's not. Believe me, I've tried.

I wonder about chocolate schnaaps, though? Hmm, there's a thought. Drunk and chocolate, all in one...

The story may not get finished, but at least you'll be too drunk to care!

Alcohol might be the answer here. (No, you do NOT want to know. Friday. You'll have it Friday.)
