Fic Update and other things...

[dreamflower]

FINALLY I have updated "Eleventy-one"!

"EleventyOne Years: Too Short a Time, Book One"
Chapter 22: Afternoon at the Great Smials at Many Paths to Tread
Chapter 22: Afternoon at the Great Smials at Stories of Arda
Chapter 22: Afternoon at the Great Smials at FF.net
The Bagginses arrive at the Great Smials for Adalgrim's wedding.

Also, this is a rec for those of you who, like me, enjoy reading fic on their e-readers. I have tried out a few of the online things for uploading fic, and found most of them wanting. Missing chapters and messed up formatting, or simply not wanting to upload on my comp. So for a couple of years now I've had to copy/paste fic into a doc and then convert it into PDF for uploading on my Nook. Even then sometimes words would be randomly out of place.

Well, at least for fics at ff.net and Ao3, I now have a solution: FLAGfic. It is SO easy! I have requested that they add MPTT and SoA to their list of archives that they work with--I hope that they will! Meanwhile, I have managed to snag several stories some of which I've never read before. I have a request: I know a lot of my friends post at ff.net as well as SoA and MPTT--some of you I already know, like shirebound, blslarner and lindahoyland, but not others. If you post there as well, please leave me a comment so I can find your stories!

Finally, a bit of a personal thing; I've been working two days a week, but this week my new boss has me scheduled for three--and two of them are full shifts (Tues and Thurs and Sat--the latter two will be full 8 hours). I hope I can hold up to that! But if I keep feeling like I did when I came home last Sat after an 8 hour shift, I very well may have to quite my job. :(

I have stories posted at ff.net, though I don't think there's anything there that isn't also at SoA and I know there are many stories that are at SoA or MPTT that aren't at ff.net.

I'm sorry to hear about the changes at your job. :-( I know how much you need it.

Love ya, Dreamflower!

I already have some of your stories on my Nook, but I may replace some of them with the FFN versions, because of the whole formatting thing.

(((hugs back)))

Wow! I'm flattered and honored that you've put some of my stories on your Nook! If there's a story you really want that I haven't posted at ff.net, let me know and I'll post it there so you can get the better formatting. :-)

Thank you sooooo much!
Hugs!

I truly hope everything works out for you at the job.

*tight hugs*

I like the chance to be there and meet people and wait on customers. And the grocery discount is valuable. But hour after hour of stocking the shelves, deep cleaning and filling ice cream cases takes a toll on my back and legs.

My previous boss knew this, and usually only scheduled me for about five hours at a time; I had mentioned this to the new one, but he's clearly chosen to ignore it.
