~There's A Place That I Know :: It's Not Pretty There and Few Have Ever Gone...~

Yes, it's still forth-coming. Yes, it still has to go to beta. And yes, it's bigger than either of us expected.

Will be going to beta in the next couple of hours.

And I'll post as soon as it gets in.

saavikam77 , my darling, I love you. She's just a BIG monster this time around. If it goes up Sunday, it goes up Sunday.

I have spoilers for two projects that will be going up this week. One is the awaited chapter, the other a surprise fic that was inspired by the lists of Win/Fail fics that were posted last year. Hopefully these will ease the day for some of you a little.

<- 'Heirs' to your left. Yep, we mean business this time.

Below is a little snippet from what we like to call 'Five Times That Lois Lane Failed At Domesticity...and One Time She Pwned.'

( A Housewife, She Most Certainly Is Not... )

:D Hope that was worth the wait.

Yes, I'm having to do it again. The Huge EPIC fight scene + busy last week + sick this week = Still working on it. Yeah, I know I've been doing this a lot lately. Just hasn't been a good year for the schedule. Good news? We're making good headway and we'll be writing on nothing but this the weekend. We'll get caught up. As always, it'll give us more time to plot and plan and make it good enough for you guys.

Expect a spoiler soon. I just want to make sure that everything is absolutely perfect before it's posted. This is SO important to me. Enough so that I'm almost afraid of it. Here's hoping that it all gels the way I hope. *crosses fingers*

This week's chapter, To the Rhythm of the War Drums, is in to the beta. Video for Everybody Loves Me finished. Expect to see both later tonight. :D I feel like I managed to do something today! *twirls* And I have a short shift tonight and Mom (htbthomas ) tomorrow!

I promise to be all caught up by tonight!

Now to get the next chapter started and headway on our next Snapshots oneshot. :D

The last few days are blending together now. Between work and having been sick, I'm running behind on EVERYTHING.

Except the chapter. :D GO ME! A couple more scenes to go and a final polish and it should be up before we leave out on Saturday morning.

And just where are we going Saturday, you ask?

I didn't want to mention it until I was sure it was going to happen, but I'll FINALLY be meeting Mom! htbthomas  is going to meet us in Orlando Saturday afternoon for coffee! I'm so damn excited! And the timing couldn't be more perfect, especially since we're heading into the Big Scary on the fic. Who better to consult than the Evil Cliffie Queen herself? Be warned, my darling fans, be warned! :D

That said, I'll be getting back to replies and such after we finish the polish tonight. Promise!

Also, the extended Everybody Loves Me video is at 2.40 of 3.20 as we speak. And I really think this one is going to turn out awesome. :D

Just spent all day yesterday and several hours on Friday cleaning out my study. Still work to do in here, but it's a million miles from what it was last week.

After that, I'd love to get it finished, then lounge in bed.

Instead, I'll be going in and working a nine-hour shift for the job. On a Sunday. When at least two people have likely called out.

*sigh*

Expect a new spoiler for next week's chapter tonight.

Work busy. Lois needs roller-skates. Chapter at 6,000 words and will be posted late tonight or tomorrow morning. Meme to be updated tonight. Good meta conversation with rizny  on the nature of Kal-El and his heritage and the way a lot of people ignore it. Doing a dog rescue run to Daytona at 8 tomorrow night for a rat terrier and babies and I work noon on Sunday. Need to start next chapter and maybe a oneshot that's been boiling in my brain.

More updates when I'm not spazzing.

Also, work not so bad this week, mostly because I have a clearer view of what's happening. Also, managing to disconnect my emotions from issues there now. Not worth the pain and anguish. Much happer Lois despite the hours cut we just took. Oh, well, less money and more sanity. Christmas season in retail will be on us soon, more hours, and I'm still looking for another job. All will be well.

Easiest way to do this quick little update is in bullet points. I really need to go pass out again...

• First and foremost, due to how crazy our schedule was on this trip, we're going to have to delay a chapter yet again. With all of the drive-time and timing-upsets, we got more planning than actual writing done. The rest of Heirs has been decided down until the final scenes and we plan to make it all as worthwhile as we possibly can. I feel bad, but this is necessary to assure you guys get the best chapter possible. However, there may just be a little oneshot on the way. And it's comedy. :D Hey, Big Sister, you think they'll like The Donkey? *snicker*
• We got to see bistyboo1974  on the way up and there was no way better to brighten what was going to be a VERY long day. Thanks so much, Big Sister, for coming out to see us. Especially since we were not quite awake and VERY cracky. Thanks also for the reactions to some of the spoilers, It really helped. ;)
• We have a TON of ideas for oneshots and are looking forward to the reactions.
• We have film of our mountain adventures and we think you guys will get a kick out of them. We'll start posting stuff tomorrow,
• PICTURES. ZOMG THE PICTURES! It'll take several days to show you guys all the pictures.
• Sleep. I got a ton of it, even when we were getting up early. I feel pretty damn rested up.
• Adventures. We had plenty, although I'll let Anissa tell the stories, as she's better at it. Expect links.
• No internet access for most of the trip. No WiFi in the cabin or most anywhere else. I have a ton of checking up on and can't wait to see how the results for the Awards turn out. I've been kept away from the site on purpose, methinks. *bites nails*

More on events later, once we've had a little more sleep. Is it bad that I can't wait for October? :D BUT I MISSED YOU GUYS SOOOOO MUCH! *tacklesnuggles her F-List*

As tomorrow is the last day to add your thoughts, if you haven't cast your votes, PLEASE do so. I want to make sure that everyone has their choices counted!

I'm going out for a while to re-evaluate my work. Not sure if I even want to post the chapter this week.

ETA: After a nap and some serious work by Anissa, I think we may be okay. It just seems like Heirs has been giving us serious trouble in capturing it of late, especially this close to the end. And yes, we're that close. I would assume no more than ten more chapters.  Unless something insane happens, expect to see it in this space on Saturday. :D

4,973 words. 10 pages. A new epilogue to Superman IV. This is the only thing that made my night better. Expect to see Live Like We're Dying Saturday at 12days_of_clois . Heirs goes front-burner tomorrow night.
