Checking in.,.

I won't go into the boring details, but various computer issues mean I'm not getting a whole lot of time online these days, which sucks.

I hope everyone had a good holiday season. Mine was pretty good; I spent most of it with my sister Michelle's family, so I could do all the fun stuff with my four-year-old nephew and two-year-old niece (I really am just a giant kid at heart).

My main Xmas presents were a new watch (which I've been desperate for ever since my old one broke nearly a year ago), and the entire series box set of Buffy, which I've wanted for a few years, but never got around to buying (sweeeet!)

New Year's was pretty quiet - just the family at home, but I did get to introduce my niece and nephew to the awesomeness that is sparklers! (Like I said - big kid)

Thanks to cheights for my virtual New Year gift! And thanks to rhymephile, trillingstar and rosybug, whose cards all showed up on Xmas Eve - what a surprise!

And once again, my oz_magi fic was a last-minute rush job - I like to think it's because I do my best work under pressure and not because I'm lazy, but.... yeah. Anyways, thank God for time differences because I actually got it in early in the morning on the day it was due, so I ended up looking super-organised, LOL.

I'm honestly curious as to whether anybody has their suspicions about which fic is mine, because (to me anyway) my style of writing sticks out like a sore thumb. I actually considered trying to change my style because it's supposed to be anonymous, and I thought that people would guess that I wrote it straight away, but then I figured I was just being paranoid. Anyway, I guess I'll see...

Also? Check my icon - isn't it the most perfect thing ever? This is so my cat!

I love your icon but sorry it's my kitty Charlotte.

I haven't read all the Oz Magi fic yet and I can't figure out who wrote what. But I think that mine is easy to figure out, my style...I can't change it and I think it's a sore thumb too.

I love your icon so much I'm stealing it!

[pride-of-erin.livejournal.com]

Sure thing! Just credit lol_comics.

If I don't have a deadline, I often won't finish a story. I don't know that I necessarily do *better* but at least I get it done!

[pride-of-erin.livejournal.com]

LOL, ditto!

Aww, I'm so glad you got my card! See, I absolutely *refused* to visit a post office anywhere around the holidays, so I looked up how much it cost to mail stuff to Down Under. I guessed at the cost, and it seems I guessed right! Whoo! I feel like it got there really quickly too.

I love the icon. That was Butternut last night when I was trying to eat pudding, I swear!

Happy New Year! I'm equally surprised that the card reached you so quickly, heh.

I hear you on the Magi thing - and suspect you for something, as well :) It seems that people used to guess? Emphasis on used to?

[pride-of-erin.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I don't know why the whole guessing thing fell by the wayside - I guess people were too embarrassed to guess in case they were wrong?

And ooh - which do you suspect is mine? *iz curious*
