So...

Is it too early to start the countdown? No pressure [livejournal.com profile] xanthelj, really

Don't worry if you have no clue what I'm talking about. *g*

LOL. It really is. I don't do WIPs, and Xanthe is one of the very few that I'll read in parts being posted, especially because she's so good at keeping it on a schedule.

She's my distraction and comfort author. Which the comfort is kind of weird to say given how dark and angsty some of her stuff is, but it works for me.

It doesn't hurt that it's already finished and she's just posting it over the course of a week.

Yeah. If she was doing just one part a night I think I'd go nuts for this one. The three is just enough so that I can at least get a couple of hours sleep before work. *g*

LOL! I just wish I'd been able to hold out. Breaking it up like this detracts from my enjoyment of the first read.

Maybe next time I'll manage it.

With the size of this one, I would have had to schedule a day off work so I could read it and then get some sleep.

I would have scheduled a weekend evening (maybe when the kid's at her dad's or on one of her numerous sleepovers) and just dived right in. It would have been glorious. :-)

I've known Xanthe's work for a LONG time and I know it's good. It's just the in parts/waiting thing, you know?

And yeah, usually it is real dark stuff, but always extremely well written.

Sadly my comfort pairing is VERY tiny in an already small fandom. (Eureka) Not to mention only 1 person really does it right anyway. :-/

I wish I had the willpower to wait until it was all posted, but I knew I'd never survive.

That's always a bummer when your pairing of preference has so little fic for it.

It's the lesser of 2 evils... You don't know what you're missing.

Yeah, it bites. I try to write it myself, but I've not pulled together a very large piece that I've made it to posting condition yet. The characters themselves are very strong, much less trying to incorporate them into a believable threesome is really hard work.

Maybe I'll try the xanthe story out tomorrow, but I don't have time to wait up tonight... :-/
