I've got a project

[thismaz]

I've been on holiday for 3 whole weeks. It's been great, reading stuff and not writing as much as I intended. Then the other day, sexymermaid posted a note in darker_spike that the rerunawards needed more votes. That finally spurred me in to action. So I went to the Master List all set to do my 'civic duty'.

I decided I wasn't qualified to judge anything except BtVS/AtS or Firefly - I just don't know the other fandoms well enough to recognise OOC if it came and kicked me in the shins.

The Best of Buffy and Angel list was just daunting (118 nominations!). So I went for the Best of Firefly with a mere 12 nominations.

Taking notes as I read, so I can remember how good a story is, means hard copy. Those 12 nominations (taking only the first 3 chapters of large works) end up as 45 pages of A4 - even with the font all set at Ariel 10pt and the paragraph spacing removed.

But I have read them all and I just went and voted.

That's not the project. I now have 449 pages of BtVS/AtS to read. And that is ignoring the ones with broken or incorrect links or which I read recently.

If anyone wants a copy of either word document, to save you doing all the clicking and stuff... send me an e-mail to maztodaygonetomorrow-at-hotmail.co.uk and I'll send them to you. Voting ends September 29th

ps I probably should apologise to Dulin (and possibly others) I didn't notice the instruction not to take or reproduce without permission until I had printed the document out. But I did only take the first 3 parts.

Wow, you and sparrow have a lot in common, I see. I hope you enjoyed it, anyway. I admit I read about one chapter or so for some.

Anyway I meant to say that you certainly have been busy. I've still got to vote, so will have to do it over the weekend. Like you there's only so many categories I feel qualified to put my tuppence worth in for.

I hope you've had a nice relaxed bit of time off and when I get back from mine, we'll try to sort out a date to get together.

take care

My friend sexymermaid has recommended your stories. Mind if I friend you to keep updated?

And I also just read your entry about the Winchester boys calling their dad "sir." I love that show...I think they have a formal relationship with him because he had to raise them to listen to him unconditionally, like they were in the military. If he said it's time to get out of here, they needed to listen and not question him.

Have you seen the season ending episode yet? GAH!
