Whew. Finally.
Against all odds I finally finished up the part I was working on these past days, which means tomorrow I might actually make headway into the scene, possibly even getting it finished up (that is IF I remember what I wanted to include there ... I should have made a few notes after all *sigh*).

And once I get the scene done, dear Vig will finally re-appear in the story. I miss having the man around ... even if it's just half a scene or so without him.
(But as we all know - no Vig means no innuendo, no flirting, no touches, no nothing *sigh*)

On another note - can anyone of you dears give me a crash-course on English punctuation? Particularly on punctuation in connection with direct speech? It has come to my attention that I'm creatively doing *something*, but I'm guessing how I'm doing it is not how it should be done :D (And funnily enough, I'm NOT using German punctuation either... it's a weird "might be right but most likely isn't" mix-up invented by yours truly.)
Anyway - since I'll have to go back and edit 195.000 words anyway in terms of punctuation, I figured I might ask *now* and get it right at least in the latter part of my story :D
Anybody willing to explain?

I am finding all sort of things to fix, thanks (?) to this Dreamwidth move. Though it's been fun rediscovering all that old stuff I haven't looked at in years, it also makes me rather sad for the loss of our lively little group. Makes me all the more determined to cherish old friends like yourself and newer ones like amruniel.

Yes, the amount of work involved in tidying up is quite overwhelming but I think the end result will be worth it and overall I'll be happier with my new set-up.

What's interesting (and lovely) is that I've noticed several friends re-appear - almost as though the real threat of losing LJ has made people realise that there's something there worth hanging on to!

And that just goes to show that, as your icon says, every seemingly bad situation has something good coming along as well.

(And now I'm stuck with Sam's "There's something good in this world Mister Frodo, and it's worth fighting for" running around in my head... ah I love that scene!)

I watched it on Monday when I was listening to the Cast Commentary on Return of the King.

And then I was smiling like a Cheshire Cat when Orlando goes on and on about how amazing Viggo is!

Oh my God! You’re giving me the best ideas, sweetie! I HAVE to watch the cast commentaries again! I didn’t do it in ages gasps And yes, Orlando gushing about Viggo certainly is always worth it 😉
