Bits and Bobs

I lost my internet access for most of the day today and most of last night, too. I was not a happy camper. It meant I couldn't up any of my bids at Support Stacie or monitor what was going on with my own offering. So I didn't end up winning anything other than the special offer from earlgreytea68 which was a straight up 2000 word fic for $20.

Wiggiemomsi ended up winning me and 15,000 words @ a whopping $400. I'm utterly speechless. I can't wait to see the total for the whole auction and of course whether or not DW beat Gilmore Girls and if anyone beat Twilight.

Chissel and Catyuy, I need to know what you want your ficlets to be about and which pairing you want for them.

Before my internet went wonky last night I got two emails from CoT Awards. Someone nommed Sacrifice and That Night on Betazorn 9. Thank you to whoever that was.

Oh, and I sorted out my issues with the next chapter of Zeppelins. I threw it out completely and started over and it is working much better now. I'm hoping to finish it tomorrow.

Oh no! This was definitely not the time to lose your internet!

I'm dying to see what the totals end up being. The bidding was crazy all weekend, but it got REALLY crazy at the end.

I'm glad you worked out the Zeppelins chapter. I do love that fic muchly. :)

Yea, tell me about it! I got bidding fever, and wouldn't have stopped if the site hadn't gone down. Twice.

I can't believe it. It's a bit over $26,000. Amazing.

THERE YOU ARE!

Bidding went all wonky for the story being offered by Gillian/Wendymr. I wanted to nab it for you, then got bidding fever & wouldn't have stopped if the site hadn't gone down; I lost, but struck a deal. Wendymr said she'd contact you -- probably tomorrow? -- about ...

*Cue drum roll*

YOUR GIFT STORY!!

I'm totally wipped and am going to ... yawwwwwn ... bed now. Glad you're OK; I was worried!

*Hugs*

Thank you. You are such a love, dear.

[wiggiemomsi.livejournal.com]

My pleasure; I knew you wanted it, and I LOVE gifting!

I must see the totals before I sleep........

I get to give you a prompt????
Oh dear, I must think on that.

[amberfocus.livejournal.com]

Yes, a prompt and a pairing. Or a scenario if you want to do more than a prompt.

Okay then lets try this one on for size.

10/Rose, established relationship.
The Doctor steps in a trap in the woods and is dangling by his feet.
Rose has to let him down but she wants to try to do the kiss from Spiderman 1 first.

Oh, no, I'm sorry you lost internet. Great news on the auction though. COngratulations.

[amberfocus.livejournal.com]

Thanks. And the stupid thing keeps going down this week. Driving me crazy.

[chissel.livejournal.com]

Oh yay! Ficlet! How about something 10/Rose, late series 2, UST leads to RST? Or wherever the muse leads...

[amberfocus.livejournal.com]

You got it.

I'm so amazed at the response from the auction. That's absolutely astounding. And congrats to you for helping raise such a huge amount!
