I HAVE HAD A HAIRCUT.

This in itself is nothing amazing — but it's been ten years since I've had short hair. It's been long enough to reach halfway down my back for so long that the change is both fresh and very, very disturbing. Then again, short&disorganised works pretty well, too. I guess I'll just have to rough down the cold on my neck in the morning, and get the alpaga scarf out of the cupboard.

To sort-of-celebrate this, I've gone and chucked everything I've been writing recenty — well, for the time being, anyhow — and that means everything: the apocalypse!fic and the 16,000-words FrUK kinkmeme fill and the Sherlock/THE INTERWEBS crackish thing and the KA Christmas special for Sa' (blame her. She told me to.) — and begun a completely out-of-the-blue Sherlock/John-ish first meeting!AU. Of sorts. It's got mediums. In cheesecloth.

I've written about 1,500 words of this in one day, which is... good news for my writer's block aaaaaand bad news for uni. How am I supposed to focus on American civilisation when I've got pretty shiny boys to play with? Here, have a first page. Ish.

Also, I have discovered two things: 1) I need more Sherlock icons, and 2) I'm probably going to need a Sherlock beta.

That said, the promised reclist should come up either tomorrow or on Thursday — Wednesday will be a horrible day except in the evening, hopefully, but booked all round. I'm making no promises, but I'm nearly done with it anyway.

If you would like a Sherlock beta, I would like to offer myself! :)

[falling-voices.livejournal.com]

Oh, that would be lovely, thank you so much ♥ I'm working away on this though not quite as fast as you do, how do you do it, but I should be done with the first draft by the end of the week, if you wouldn't mind taking a look at it then?

Speed is of no concern; send it when it's ready :) I'll be the first to admit I'm not within the average when it comes to general speed of output, so don't think that comparison comes into it. I do everything quickly; I always have. It's a general way of life more than a writing-thing specifically!

I really look forward to seeing it ♥

Just thought about this: how would you prefer me to send it? PM? email? in the body, or linked? betas usually have different preferences, so be sure to let me know if you like one way over another. ♥

SOMEONE WHO CAN UNDERSTAND HOW I FEEL.

The last time I cut my hair short was when I was eleven, and it was butt-length (not waist, butt) when I finally cut it again. Short hair is nice and fast for brushing and drying, but at the same time I miss having ridiculously long tresses to play with. I really don't know whether I'm going to grow it out again. Eh, can't have everything.

IKR?

Butt-length, my god, I've never had this so long. The thing is, I think, that it's pretty much been the same length for the last decade, because I just liked the look it gave me and didn't want to change — AND NOW IT'S ALL SHORT AND FLUFFY AND AROUND MY EARS. *.* so yeah, don't know either. I'm going to have to get used to this...

"When a woman cuts her hair, her life is about to change." Just wanted you to know. ;D

Also, your writing. This is why I think you are an incredible, incredible person. And you write with pen and paper. Do the words really just flow out? :O?

Quick analysis of your pretty handwriting says you are about as sexual as you are intellectual, and the left-slanting means you are very self-contained. And I could say other things but they're silly. XD

[falling-voices.livejournal.com]

Well, damn. I already feel like I'm looking at a completely different person...

Ahah, they don't — this is a third draft, or something. I like my pages to be clean and proper before I type 'em up. :D ♥

Well, that's probably all true, though I'm baffled at the sexual comment. What on earth gives that away?

[carpetflowers.livejournal.com]

Ha, my hair's been about the same length all my life.

It must be so so awesome looking back on handwritten things. I like doing that, but I don't have nearly enough because I change my mind so much that paper's just not practical. XD

Weeell, if your letters reach up high and loop big, you're intellectual, and if the tails go big and low, you're sexual. I think you're pretty even. :D Don't trust me though.

*bounces* You're handwriting is very pretty! (are all the pages in france lined like that? its so crazy looking Oo)
In other news, haircuts, I know how that feels. Two summers ago I got it all chopped off. It was nice, but I like my hair long. Still, its so much easier to manage when its short.
Do you has pictures? :D

[falling-voices.livejournal.com]

My handwriting's very pretty but completely unreadable to anyone that's not me, or so I'm told :D

It feels weird, yeah? I like my hair long, but it was time for a change, I think. My mum's grinning like a madwoman everytime she sees me, so I guess it's worth it, too. ♥

I have an inkling Sa' will ask for those too... I will, in another few days, when my camera works again. I'll pack 'em up in an email for the two of you then, mm'kay?

Sorry to take so long getting back to you re: how to send your fic for beta! Email to:

heartinthemist@yahoo.com

[falling-voices.livejournal.com]

I'm horribly late as well, oh my — my email inbox has apparently thought it good to drop your comment in the spam folder. I'm puzzled.

Wonderful! you're a lovely, lovely person. It may take a little time, as I've scratched the beginning and am busily adding in more scenes, but I'll send it around when I'm done.

♥♥

Random and late but is that your handwriting? Cuz goodness, you have some REALLY pretty writing.
