Summary: Connor tastes of toothpaste and tea and toast, of sleepy mornings and brand new days. It's typical that just as she warms into it, her breath mingling with Connor's until she can't tell who is breathing in and who is breathing out, the front door slams open and Stephen's feet pound up the stairs.

There is love in your body but you can't get it out
It gets stuck in your head, won't come out of your mouth
Sticks to your tongue and it shows on your face that
The sweetest of words have the bitterest taste

Not content with fucking up to epic proportions last week (although thankfully I was spared that fiasco) McAfee decided to install an update tonight that, completely without warning, closed down my network connections. Including the connection to both my USB connected drive and my network drive. The network drive that stores my WIPs. Including the document I was working on, which happens to be my ficathon due tomorrow. Which was open when McAfee decided to kill the connection to the place it was opened from. Cue lots of panicked flailing while I tried to save it anywhere in any form when Word informed me of that fact. Which also failed.

Thank God it didn't lose the document entirely, which I have had happen at work before (as have other people - it turned out that the path names were long enough to cause problems when combined with the utter robustness of work's servers) but I have lost a lot of the stuff I've done tonight.

I could cry, I really could. I found this so bloody hard to write and it was finally starting to come together (because my brain completely hates me) and then this happens.

And I'm updating from my phone while my computer reboots because of fucking McAfee!

I have never flaked on a ficathon yet and never will bar death or dismemberment (not necessarily mine) but I hate the fact that I might be late with it.

::sobs::

ETA: And to completely cement this evening's fail, I have spent the last hour throwing up. Joy.

Only one day left to sign up, peeps! Sign ups close tomorrow! Midnight tomorrow, in fact!

Sign up info here and actual sign up form here.

Sign ups are now open for the next ficathon over on primevalathon.

For those not familiar with the concept of a ficathon, it's a story exchange whereby you sign up to write a story and get one written for you in return. The ficathon is open to all Primeval fans, for all pairings and genres (gen, het, slash, femslash and threesomes and moresomes).

More information on how we're running the ficathon this year can be found here.

Please feel free to spread the word, and we hope to see you there! :)
