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.
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*
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. :-)
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... :-/

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