Part 27: A Walk in the Park of "The Adventures of a Consulting Time Lord" has been posted to FF.Net and the 13th_sherlock DW community. Yep, it's John's faitful meeting with Mike Stamford - with a little twist.

Other than that, I've been back to work all week and got just a little bit worse, due to the idiot colleagues and students who cannot live without creating a dreadful draft all the time. Ah, well. Next week I'll restart baking with the kids, and at least on that particular afternoon I'll be warm.

I've almost finished Chapter 08 of "Iceman" - I'm planning to finish the first story arc with Chapter 09 - ten chapters are the absolute maximum I'm willing to do. After that, I'll switch to "Beautiful Minds", which takes place in the same settings, just adding Tosh to the mix. So, together with "Convergences", I'll have a nice little trilogy, without producing ungodly length of storylines... or so I hope.

I'd really like to pick up some of my long-overdue WIPs again. Having watched lots of Star Trek on the German channel Tele5, I feel like writing some Trekfic again. The Voyager AU-series is overdue to being picked up, with two unfinished stories, and there's the Voyager/Babylon 5 trilogy, of course, which got stuck in the middle of "Kansas 2 - The Yellow Brick Road".

Actually, I should pick up some of the unfinished Tolkien pieces, too. "Astonishment in Mirkwood" could actually gain some readership, considering that it takes place during "The Hobbit", and "The Book of Mazarbul" could hope for some people newly gotten interested in Dwarves, too. Of course, my Dwarves are not the ridiculous caricatures from the film, so perhaps people won't like them. In any case, the only Tolkien story that's willing to cooperate right now (at least sometimes) is "Sea Flower", which, of course, has nothing to do with "The Hobbit". But that can't be helped.

*hugs* Hope you feel better soon!

The Hobbit fandom does seem to be buzzing well from the film (and with some good fic as well as a lot of bad ;) ). Good luck getting your stories to cooperate.

I haven't seen much new stuff on Stories of Arda, which is basically the only Tolkien fanfic site I visit nowadays. Perhaős I should dare the Hobbit archive of FF.Net, but I'm afraid what I might find there. *shudders*

I'm mostly been seeing things on AO3 - I'm mostly fallen out of the habit of checking ff.net (except for a few fandoms and where I have author alerts) and the various Tolkien archives - there is has gone from a couple of hundred stories to something over 2500....

I still prefer FF.Net to any other archives I post to... perhaps a sign of old age if one clings to what one's used to. Although I always disliked changes. In any case, I mostly read Sherlock on FF.Net lately, and go to Stories of Arda for my Tolkienfic fix. Which is why I'm surprised by the lack of "The Hobbit" fanfic, seeing that the archive is full of hobbitfic writers. Strange.

AO3 I still find confusing to navigate, I'm afraid. The many categories and albels and stuff give me a headache. I'm sure I'll find my way around them eventually, but that would need more time. Much more time.

Oh, it is definitely confusing to start with - I've just been using it for a few years now, so am mostly used to it :)

I've never really done much reading on Stories Of Arda because the background there makes it hard for me to read the text.

Yeah, the leafy background is a bit annoying. But I simply increase the font size and have grown very good at ignoring the stupid leaves. And the archive is very easy to use, both where updating and navigating is concerned. "Idiot proof" as the Germans would say. *g*
