fic rec: "War Stories" by tkp

[astridv]

I had a pretty stressful week, therefore the radio silence. Cat's got an eye infection; poor little guy has to wear a collar for a month. I can't tell how much this sucks for all involved, most of all for him. I hope he'll finally get used to that thing after a few more days... and that the eye will heal up all right. Sigh.

I'm getting more and more irritated with my mail provider; at the moment emails seem to take up to several hours to process. So, I want to look into an alternative email address. What is this gmail thing people speak of? Is it realiable? Quick? Free? Do you need an invite code and if so, does anyone have a code to spare? Any advice appreciated. [eta: taken care of, many thanks to littleheaven70]

On a happier note, there's a new chapter of "Servare Vitas". :) Andtkp has post-NFA fic up which I liked immensely:
War Stories: Raising the Banner
I love the premise: "The only AU element is that the episode “Origin” never happened. No one but Angel knows who Connor really is. NFA happens, minus the Connor bits. The fic is set post-NFA in a post-apocalyptic world.

Characters: Focus is on Connor and Angel, with a good side of Spike. There will be other Buffyverse characters, some major and some minor, and lots of OCs. There will be ‘ships that happen between all of these, including slash, but for the most part, this series is gen. It’s about fictional war and politics, derring-do and swashbucklingness, burdens of leadership, orders of command, warring factions, insubordination, that kind of thing, with a father and son at the heart of it."

She calls it crack fic. Angel and Connor centric post-NFA ensemble genfic? Written by tkp? Bring on the crack!

I love my new gmail account. It's so fast, and so comfortable. That thing where it sorts messages by thread is great.

My old muenster.de account is ten years old, and I think it's time to put it to pasture. It seems by now to be known to every spammer under the sun. Yesterday? 35 messages asking whether I'm afraid of losing my erection. Plus the odd virus and stock market stuff. When, oh when, will they make spamming a criminal offense.

Only problem is that that address is on my letterhead and everywhere, so I have to phase the addy out slowly. And I need to get myself a separate business mail address, too.

Well, my mouse is a-dying so I can't C&P anymore, but yes: I have the same nagging prob with my ancient email. It's out there and it's established; I still get commission enquires from it and all. The hassle of revamping all my sites and mentions is too much to contemplate so I let it linger on, like a shriveled patient on a ventilator.

So! The clock ticks down! Email me about Frankfurt: do you need me to send you my share of the accomodation money, or can I reimburse you on the spot? Can I just buy a BF ticket at the door, or (God forbid!) are they likely to be sold out a la SD Con? And can you forgive me for not having time to listen to my Visit Germany CD?
