Kinda sorta here?

[mhalachai]

*eases cautiously back into the room* Hello? Is this thing on?

Anyway, hello! I'm back! Not with fic right now, as I'm at work and the boss tends to frown upon that, but I'm back in the game, as it were.

Thanks to everyone for participating in the polls I've been putting up. I find that no one loves ticky boxes quite like LJers. And to all of you lurkers who pop in to vote: Keep at it, it's good to see you :)

Now, fic I'm planning over the next little while (and in no real order):

+ A cute little Anita/Nathaniel Valentine's day fluff: House of Cards.
+ A slightly less-fluffy Anita/Micah Valentine's day ficlette: One Night.
+ Chapter 48 of Inevitable: When Exposition Attacks!
+ The next chapter of Candlelight, in which Buffy makes dumb decisions.
+ The next chapter of Switchback, which has been depressing the hell out of me for the last long while.

And there you go.

Yay! Lots of reading to look forward to =D

So how is work going? Good? Bad? So-so? *actually misses her work* I can't wait till the summer when I get to see all my coworkers again!

_{sry if this repeats...LJ is being shovey}

I'm almost cringing when I think about how much writing that is :P

Work... I'm trying not to talk about work like that in an unlocked post. Not that any of my co-workers are internet-stalking me anymore (that I know about) but yeah. I'm not dead :)

[thekams.livejournal.com]

Not dead is good!!

Mmm...I see what you mean, that would be rather a lot of writing wouldn't it? And it's not gonna be easy, what with the chapter of Switchback, since it's been placed in the depressing category.

[mhalachaiswords.livejournal.com]

To be fair, the next chapter of Switchback is half-written. I just need to slog through the rest of it, and then figure out where to end. Also, what *not* to include in the chapter.

And so much writing.... I think Inevitable may get pushed back on that, because I need to shovel shove a whole book's worth of exposition into a chapter.

Eeeep! Internet stalking!

[mhalachaiswords.livejournal.com]

Yeah. Long story, sort of dull.

[sabriel-0405.livejournal.com]

Oh, yay! I've been missing you. Lots!

[mhalachaiswords.livejournal.com]

I've been missing you guys too (and also the writing. Can't forget the writing). I was quite at loose ends some nights, without a chapter, in a state of utter literary disarray, staring me in the face.

[catherinecookmn.livejournal.com]

Good to have you back, if only for a mo!

[silver-venus42.livejournal.com]

Can't wait for your next update! I miss coming and seeing what's going on in your worlds.

[mhalachaiswords.livejournal.com]

As do I. Even though I've got it all in my head, it's not *real* until it's on the page :)

[catherinecookmn.livejournal.com]

Take your time, Mhal. Besides, it's given me a chance to keep up -- I actually got two chapters of About A Boy done during your hiatus, and those chappies were slow ones for me.

[mhalachaiswords.livejournal.com]

Two wonderful chapters I need to go review, which reminds me. And I just hope I remember how to do it. The writing I mean. All these letters and numbers in a certain order. It's hard.

[watcher457.livejournal.com]

.... When Exposition Attacks? are you kidding? that's so great!

good to see you back, dear.

[mhalachaiswords.livejournal.com]

Well, I probably won't actually call it that, but it's the gist of the chapter:

DUMBLEDORE: Harry, sit down. It's time for me to tell you everything about Voldemort, including how to kill him.
HARRY: ... what, like you couldn't have told me all this BEFORE Voldemort started trying to kill me?
DUMBLEDORE: Er, never mind that. Lemondrop?

[watcher457.livejournal.com]

forewarned is forearmed. hence why harry has only two.

... punchy. at work. must... have... chocolate...

[mhalachaiswords.livejournal.com]

oh, you people make me laugh

[watcher457.livejournal.com]

everybody's gotta have a hobby.

[catherinecookmn.livejournal.com]

DUMBLEDORE: Erm... (rolls eyes upwards, as if looking for someone he fears) It was Her idea, Harry. She thought it would make the story more... interesting.

[mhalachaiswords.livejournal.com]

JKR as god -- works for me.

[penyn-1600.livejournal.com]

Yay! You're back!

[mhalachaiswords.livejournal.com]

*g* good to be back :)

[kyani-no-kokoro.livejournal.com]

Yay, you've returned! Just the good news I needed after an unbelieveably stressful week. ^_^

[mhalachaiswords.livejournal.com]

I'm glad I could brighten up your day a little bit :) If you wait just a few minutes, I can post an AB drabble. Hang on.

[deathinapinkboa.livejournal.com]

Oh how fantasitic. I simply can't wait.

[mhalachaiswords.livejournal.com]

I'll try not to keep you too much on the edge of your seat :)
