Hi everyone, spent this weekend at my friend's wedding which was great. Saw lots of old friends and new babies and ate lots of cheese (I put on 4lbs this week and clearly it is the bride's fault she gave me yummy cheese based food). The weather was lovely too, which was a fantastic surprise for April in the UK.

Have been doing little bits of writing on my new laptop, but am flitting between different stories. At some point I shall finish something.... hmm I might go have a look at the GW500 prompts from the LJ and DW comms and see if I can write something short this week.

Happy to see that LJ seems to have mostly recovered now (as far as I can tell, I seem to be getting through quite consistently now). In the meantime if anyone wants to read anything I've written and is having problems (or wants to avoid adding to LJs traffic for the time being) my LJ is mirrored on DW here. (BTW I have 13 DW and 1 AO3 invite codes if anyone wants one).

Am suddenly going through a Hikaru no Go obsession phase, re-watching and (re) reading all the fic I can get my paws on. I'd fogotten how fantastic most of the writing in that fandom is, seriously I don't think I've read anything that didn't seem like it was published author quality. Maybe I will get over my intimidation enough to try and make something of some of the HnG plotbunnies running around in my head. I still not sure how I can watch an entire series about Igo (several times) and still come out the other end with only the barest understanding of the rules.... Seriously I look at the games and it means nothing to me at all. I can't even follow the examples they have at the end to teach kids the basics, my brain just doesn't seem to work that way.

Other than that am awaiting my new kindle with baited breath.... I want my new toy now. I downloaded Kindle for PC in anticipation too, am still trying to get it to work.... for some reason it won't connect to let me register, despite good internet connection. Amazon customer service had me make sure it could get through my firewall and anti-virus but still no joy. Grrr.

I know several people are considering  leaving LJ following the whole FB crosspost thing... Personally I'm still hoping or some sort of opt out option or something people can use in their journals but if anyone wants a DW invite (or knows anyone who might) I somehow have a staggering 12 invites available.
