I am applying to jobs this morning. Wow - you don't see a lot of ads requiring "Windows 95" anymore. I think this place might be a little behind the curve, technologically-speaking, but it's just a feeling.

I've been sitting on chapter 3 of Covert for a week because part of it just was not working. Sitting in Toscanini's this afternoon, though, I think I figured out how to fix it. FYI, when blocked on a fic, the answer is always to make John be awesome.

Okay, so! I am working on getting the first few chapters of the spy!Sherlock fic revised and ready to post, and I have a question. Or, I have something I am considering with respect to this fic. When you have a pairing fic, a fic that is labeled as having a central pairing and written really as a way to get character A and character B together, how much other stuff are you as a reader willing to put up with? How much plot?

I am thinking about this because I have to admit that as a reader I am always impatient to get to the meat of the story, and the worldbuilding stuff, even if it is done very, very well, is of lesser importance.

I'm not sure the worldbuilding here is done particularly well, but there are still something like 2 chapters and 10,000 words before Sherlock is even introduced into the fic,and I can't help thinking that that might be kind of a problem, both generally and in this fic particularly.

Anyway, that is what I'm thinking about today.

So Strange Game is finally done, although there might be one shots here and there, as the mood takes me.

The past few days I have been chomping at the bit to get to my next project, which (don't laugh) is a Sherlock/Dr. Horrible's Sing Along Blog crossover (yeah, you heard me) where Sherlock is a reluctant superhero (pulled into the family business by Mycroft) and John is a reluctant superhero doctor (villain doctors get all the excitement and danger). There is a lot of reluctance. Maybe there will actually be porn.

Also, I am loving Game of Thrones. I think I will finish watching season 1 tonight, and I am very sad about that.

I got the first season of Game of Thrones to watch over the next week or so. I know a lot of people really enjoy this show, so I have high hopes. This despite the fact that I know nothing at all about the plot or even the premise of it - I'm assuming there are... thrones? And... a game? I hope it's tiddlywinks.

Note: Apparently due to the lack of dialogue in the previous chapters I went into withdrawal - this chapter contains all the talking, so be forewarned. Next one will be less, I promise.

Because, as goldenusagi pointed out, the real torture that Sherlock was going through in the military facility was not being able to voice his insults.
