Only 18 fics this year, a good handful were under 1,000 words. Lame, self. But hopefully I'll be finishing fics up. I do have another fic finished and just having Bella check it over for me, so that'll be posted in January, and then I'm almost done with the John/Teyla one. So that's a good start on 2009.

Oh, FUCK, Ace! I do, don't I? Jesus H. Christ. If I don't have it back to you by...Monday, shoot me, okay?

Haha, oh Bella, it's fine! Take as long as you need. I mean, it's McShep. It's not like anyone's on the edge of their seat, going, "Ooh, I hope a very rare fic appears on sga_noticeboard today, like McKay/Sheppard!" I'd much rather be finishing some of my M/Z stuff anyway. No rush at all. The holidays are crazy, besides.

*snugs* Happy New Year!

I DID IT! YAY! It only took me like six months, but I read your story. It's fanTAStic. I loved it. I made one change, which I highlighted in yellow. Yay, Ace!

*snugs you* I'm glad you liked it (and that, uh, apparently my hatred for the story by the end of it wasn't obvious, hahaha). Just shoot the corrected copy over to my Gmail, and I'll fix it up and post it (and then never have to think of it again, yay).

*snugs* Thanks for looking at it, even though I know McShep and Weir/Zelenka aren't your thing. I promise I'll finish some of my M/Z fics to make up for it! (Really. Did you know I only wrote one M/Z fic last year, Bella? Instead I wrote...HIMYM fics, apparently. This is tragic and must be remedied!)

Shouldn't you be able to go into your googledocs and see the document and my change? I think you can. Try it and let me know if it doesn't work for you.

Haha, I almost gave myself a heart attack for a minute there! I...somehow deleted my GoogleDocs copy of the fic. *facepalms* I still have the Microsoft version, but yeah, sorry, could you just invite me for the GoogleDocs?

*shakes head at self for going on a 'delete unnecessary GoogleDocs' spree and...deleting necessary GoogleDocs*
