OK, yeah

I need to sleep more during the week.

It's 9:45pm and I just woke up from my 'nap.'

Doing a little flist and email catch up has resulted in the following:

[livejournal.com profile] nekosmuse you rock my world with your Miami screencap links. I know you're having issues with Speed's chin, but I may just have to try to win [livejournal.com profile] carolinecrane's hand through my mad photoshop skilz.

I'm glad you're feeling better, [livejournal.com profile] carolinecrane and would you mind sending us some weather that doesn't cause one to gasp and say "Holy Fuck!" when one steps outside. Additionally, while I don't necessarily agree with you on epilogues, I'm glad you're feeling better about the as yet unnamed CSI angst fic. And any Speed/Tyler you write would not go unappreciated.

I know I've said it before, but are people watching a different show than I am with CSI? Because the GrissomSlash? Is a thing that makes no sense to me.

I hear we're getting another cold snap next week so maybe that will push our warm air in your direction. All I know is that Colorado will not make up its mind and it's making me miss Florida. I must be getting old.

I'm curious as to your feelings on epilogues. I think I just don't like writing them because once I'm done with the story I feel like I'm done and laziness kicks in, so I don't want to revisit it. But in this case I think it would be the best plan of action.

GrissomSlash scares me. A lot. What's worse is when it turns up on my flist.

I like epilogues in a couple of situations:

1. If I loved a fic A LOT, for me it's like a little extra prize. A little, 'they're still OK in the future!'

2 If a story ended on an ambivalent note. You know how much of a sucker I am for happy endings and sometimes I just like to be reassured things don't go to hell when I'm not looking.

So basically, my reasons are selfish and blindingly romantic.

Grissom slash...*shudder* So very, very wrong. And thanks should go to [livejournal.com profile] beautifulthings for the caps, cause she is the goddess of screencaps.

That she is. Damn.

You know, I just noticed this:

the as yet unnamed CSI angst fic

It actually does have a name. It's called "All The Way To Paris", has been since its inception. I can't say why I never call it by its name, but hey, at least I don't have to think of a name when it's done. I have four fics sitting on my hard drive waiting to be posted on my site because I have yet to come up with names for them. Sad but true. I think I'm going to have to stop writing fic just because I've run out of titles.

And you know what? As soon as you wrote that, I knew the title. I was, perhaps, still asleep when I composed that entry.
