Shine Where You Stand (branch office)

There is no recourse to reach the password; the system is automated.
I have tried every likely password and the unlikely ones, too...a dozen times.
I am really, really tired of posting mistakes I can't fix -- never mind trying to reply...or look at responses...or change my pictures....

So I give up.

I'm moving.

An error I can't fix because I don't have the stupid password!

Although it is only PG13, it isn't het. I don't mind the 'no explicit sex' restriction, actually, though it turns out I am having less and less patience for the biggoted nonsense. I've gotten less forgiving over the last 3 years.

Anyhow. I had this in mind 3 years ago when I started the dinner party. It's just as well I didn't write it then, though, because it turned out way better than it would have.

I'm going to try to post it all at once. If it cuts off in the middle, I'll just post the rest of it....It will look awkward, but it will work.

Okay, here is the next section.

I don't know. It might just be a busy day at work and a dinner party. But at least it is a finished busy day at work and a dinner party, which puts me way ahead of where it was when my plotting mechanism crashed three years ago.

And if I can get my act halfway together, it might become Imperfections Eleven.

Anyway here is the first section. Assuming Lochjournal can get this posted in chunks as large as 6 pages.

I don't know why Zorro worked. I started two TS stories, both died (althought I did manage to finally finish Imp 10). I got 113 pages into a Dresden Files before I just lost interest. I am not sure Saffronhouse has forgiven me for that.

Then I spent an entire year reading Harry Potter, which is just....I mean some of it is actually good, but most of it is not, and I didn't care. I even read the bad stuff. After a year, I had read it all.

(I don't think I confessed this to Saffronhouse at the time, it was just to embarassing.)

And then suddenly, something about Zorro clicked. There was just so much that could have been better--should have been better.

I've written a massive amount of Zorro. It's 1990s New World Zorro (although I enjoy reading the 1950s version. I don't write it, though, because Bernardo was already perfect and Alejandro was just so unlikable....

Right. Anyway. At the moment it's mostly still Zorro. It is all here:

A serious episode-centered story.

A short, fun story.

A huge, gigantic, involved AU (what, me?) that isn't finished yet although I'm on part 6.

I'm under another name: I wasn't sure I could still write, and I didn't want to embarass myself by crashing and burning as Dasha.

I have lost my password for LJ. Well, not using it for 3 years will do that....

Now you are wondering how I am posting if I don't remember my password. Well, I have this little ap on my computer called LochJournal (marvelous thing) and IT knows my password, so I can write out a post and put it in that and it goes up.

But my ap won't tell my password to *me.* So I can't respond to comments, no matter how much I like them.

And before you ask, I don't remember what email account I used to open the LJ account, so getting a password fixed is right out.

If you have any advice, I'll be delighted...but obviously I won't be able to 'reply' and thank you or it.

I feel like I should say something about where I went. There was a year and a half when parenthood stole my brain and I didn't write anything at all. And another year I tried to write and tormented Martha with three unfinished stories. And for the last year (an entire year, yes) a lot of New World Zorro.

Not much of an excuse, really. But something you do for only the joy of it, it either happens or it doesn't. It didn't, and I'm sorry I vanished.

Anyway. For Martha, as a present, I finally finished one of those stories I started way back when. It's the next Imperfections. Only about 45 pages, a case story, a return to 'normal' for the boys. One of the crossovers I really, really wanted to do.
