Unbearable Lightness of Queueing

I have two chapters in queues, on two archives. My mailbox, each time I check it, shows gaping emptiness. *Sigh* Someone "up there" evidently wants me to exercise patience. But I simply don't do patience. *Deep_sigh*
I should really use this time of waiting to a) practise limerick writing for the Potter_Place Challenge or b) continue writing the Exchange fic or c) Study grammar and punctuation rules.

Maybe I'll just take over the world TV and watch Immortal Beloved. Or Dogma.

Dogma. Now THAT'S a movie! Brilliant on so many levels! Hope your updates are updated soon, my sweet!

LOL! You poor thing! I totally understand though. I have one story in a queue... all I'm waiting for is a letter telling me that it belongs on a different archive. (I'd like it on the archive that I uploaded it to, for several reasons mostly since I do eventually intend to write sequels and that will be where the series belongs, but as a stand-alone it's definately questionable and is likely more suited somewhere else.) But, nevertheless, I keep checking my inbox and the 'recently added' section of the archives. :)

For some reason, my husband thinks that I'm obsessed! *scoff*

Queueing- the best and worst thing about moderated archives. The best because there are HP and grammar gods and goddesses making your story better, and the worst because there are only a finite number of moderators, which translates to angst. I am so envious of you with two queued chapters- I am stuck on a love scene and haven't had any time to work on it. Fortunately, Mr. 42 has a gig tonight, so I'll be in my happy writing place if all goes as planned.

By the by, I'm relatively new to LJ and relatively unlearned about fandom (two months ago, I'd never heard of fandom wank), so I was hoping you might be cajoled into directing me to the limerick competition you mentioned. (Cajole! Cajole! Cajole!) Having sustained only minor wounds in my 2004 limerick skirmish, I am anxious to throw my pen back into the ring.

Good luck to you surviving the angst! The only thing that offended me in Dogma was the poop demon. "Kevin Smith," quoth I, "you owe us better! Now what about a salsa shark demon?"
