Leveraging the Odds by LadyArin (Leverage/Hunger Games)
8108 words; Gen; characters: Nate, Sophie, Eliot, Hardison, Parker

I was sceptical (though naturally intrigued) when I read the premise - the Leverage characters transplanted into the Hunger Games world - but I really like the result. Interesting crossover which makes good use of the specific character traits.

During the last two days I got no work done. Zero. But I went outdoor bouldering yesterday and then I met an English native speaker at a friend's place; it was fun to chat in English again. So I consider that day seized, if not exactly productive. And today... well, I just now mastered the art of frying eggplant slices. Yes: I've achieved that elusive stage between raw and burnt. They were tasty.
But not much to show for my day. It's 11pm... still time to get started on the next page, I guess.
At least I finished another page of sketches on Thursday, and more importantly I'm finally getting a feeling for the book. So I'm making slow but steady progress.
[eta: 23:44 now... yeah, not looking good on the productivity front]
