Unbearable Lightness of Queueing

[lady_karelia]

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.

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?"

Happy writing! :-)
Yes, I totally agree with the admins making stories better!
The challenge was started by southernwitch69 and plaidpooka at Potter Place (http://groups.yahoo.com/potter_place), but I just saw the rules for the challenge are now posted on TPP forum: http://thepetulantpoetess.com/forums/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=105
Am still waiting... Oh, the angst... it's consuming... *sigh*
