Thirty Day Photo Meme - Day 17

Day 17 - A Photo Of Your Feet


August, 2008
Asharoken, New York

:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
Okay, not precisely my feet, but my shoes. It wasn’t a really good outing. I wore closed sandals to walk on the sand. Then I got semi-soaked by the tide. And to add insult to injury (or maybe injury to insult), I fell and scraped the hell out of my knee.

But I got at least one good picture!

It's Thursday and an apology...

My life at the moment is a slow burning hell. Think of a poor sabre-tooth tiger caught in the La Brea tar pits, inexorably sucked in to a hot and inescapable mess.

I still need to incorporate my beta reader's comments on the new chapter and won't get to that until tonight. So, Chapter Sixteen will either be up after I get home from work, or early tomorrow.

Forgive me and have some Bomers instead.

Meme - Seven Days of Self-Promotion - Day Two

This awesome meme is ganked from my friend embroiderama, and like sinfulslasher, I have some ovine tendancies, too.

The Days:
1. Something old
2. Something new - talk about a new fanwork of yours!
3. Something you made for someone else
4. Something you made just for yourself
5. Something for a large fandom/pairing/character
6. Something for a small fandom/pairing/character
7. Something you're just really proud of

Day Two - Something New

I could mimic sinfulslasher and tease you about my upcoming whitecollar_bb story, which I’m sort of inordinately proud of, but I think not. Not only do I not want to give away the story (the artist selection post is supposed to be anon), I don’t want to jinx it either.

I’ve been filling timestamp requests over the past few weeks, with the goal of keeping them short (under 1k). (That goal is laughable and I know I’m going to get teased, so have at it, sinfulslasher). I’m particularly pleased with the last published timestamp

When pooh_collector gave me the prompt (scenes from the boys reunion and Peter's recovery after What Doesn't Bend, Breaks, a Wonder(ful) Years story), I was a little stymied, since Peter and Neal had already been reunited in a very touching moment. But in re-reading the original story and some of the other Wonder(ful) Years stories that are set in the same timeframe, I realized that Peter and Neal never really talked about what happened before Neal went undercover.

We Are Made to Bend

Summary: Peter is recovering from a gunshot wound, Neal’s just wrapped up a deep-cover assignment, and they need to try to find their way back to themselves. Since hospitals are terrible places and privacy is impossible, it seemed logical that they wouldn’t have that discussion until they were home, alone. The story also gave me a chance to bring in one of my all-time favorite secondary characters, Reese Hughes. While Neal has an incredibly close relationship with Peter’s dad in this ‘verse, Hughes fills a hole in Neal’s life that Joe doesn’t. Reese understands what Neal’s gone through as an FBI agent on a deep-cover assignment and also understands what Peter’s gone through, too – as a shooting victim.
