More revising of the Book of Days.

First draft - 2960 words to get to exactly the same place in the plot as the 564 words of the second draft. Quite a lot of those 2396* extraneous words were exposition that's going to have to go back in somewhere, but it still says something about how long I can take to get to the point.

(* I had to work this out using a calculator. Two Maths A-Levels and three years of a Physics degree and I can't subtract in my head.)

Oh, did a small update to Ice Cream for Freaks. About 25 new recs - one Angelus/Spike/Dru, one ensemble, four Wes/Illyria, the rest Spangel.

Wes/Illyria recs! *loves you*

I'm going to be obsessively hunting down Illyria fic. I need Illyria gen.

I'm writing Illyria gen right now. Well, it's not quite gen, but it's. something. IF I get around to finishing it ever after the Angel finale.

Hurray! I think Illyria has huge potential for stories. She has superpowers, she's got the fish out of water thing going, and she's lived for fricking ever. What's not to love?

[cosmic.livejournal.com]

Exactly! *pets Illyria* (How many gen fics have you found so far? I've found none.)

[doyle_sb4.livejournal.com]

Me neither. :mopes:

Hey, know things have been busy for a while for you (and they probably still are) but I wanted to give you the link for the Riley/Buffy piece that I wrote for you as part of the Riley Ficathon: Summer Break (http://www.livejournal.com/users/entrenous88/73618.html)

No rush to read -- just wanted to pass the link along in case you missed it when the master list went up.

:blush: I did miss it, will read now - thanks! (I keep meaning to have a day when I go through all the masterlists and make sure I've read everything written to me. Because I'm dumb and I forget.)
