Gift Fic Update!

[tarotgal]

It's time for another update, for anyone who cares, and a reluctant admission.

Gift Fic Progress:
Total: 25 (OMG it went up! WTF? heehee)
Posted: 4
Finished: 11 (including the # posted directly above)
In-Progress: 4

And now a note to Legolas093096 and Maria: To you both... I am fairly certain I will be unable to complete your requests by/on Christmas. I have honestly not started either of them yet and it's going to be a stretch to finish the ones I have started already by Christmas. However I HAVE been thinking about them and have every intention of writing and finishing them in a timely manner. It's just that I had to let a few slide when things got busy and I don't know either of you very well so I had to prioritize. I'm so sorry. I just wanted to apologize now. So:
Legolas093096- I love your lovely bunny about Sawyer and Kate and I promise I will get a fic to you very soon
and
Maria- I totally agree that Aragorn needs a little attention here as well and I promise I will write a fic with him very soon, as well
Again, I am SO sorry about this. I honestly thought I would be able to handle them all, but I just don't think I'm going to make it if life continues the way it has been. *HUGS*

*hugs tg* I don't think you should stress too much about the giftfics, tg :) Everyone is incredibly touched by your sentiment, and to have written/be in the progress of writing 15 fics is a HUGE accomplishment by anyone's standards! While we all love and adore your writing (and YOU!), we realise that RL can get hectic - and so can 25 giftfics! If you don't think you can finish some of them by their "due date" (which makes it sound like homework! lol), everyone will completely understand :) We would rather you have fun writing them and not stress overly much and to have them "late" than for you to spend your lead-up to Christmas worrying and writing like crazy just to get them done.

*HUGS*

Thank you *hugs*
Due dates does make it sound like work... but it's fun work. You know I adore writing. I'm happy to be able to write for others :-) But it's really nice to know so many people don't mind the fact that I can't spend all my time writing :-) So thank you!

Of course - take all the time you need in the world. You are beeing fantastically generous writing all these fics and and it is a wish-list, not a list of demands ;-) Whenever you have time/feel like writing it it is fine, and if you don't feel like writing it at all, there will be no hard feelings. I am just grateful that you are doing this at all and I enjoy all the other fics as well..!
So, don't be sorry and don't stress about it!

*HUGE HUGS* Thank you SO much for being so understanding! I'm really sorry I'm really sorry I won't have it done in time for the upcoming holiday, but I still do want to write it. I have ideas for it running through my head :-) I'm very glad you are/will be enjoying the other fics in the meantime.

Please don't stress about the requests. Just the fact that you considered them is more than enough! Keep them in mind, and whenever you can get to them, that is best! Besides, it is better to have all the time you need to work out the best fic, than trying to rush it for a holiday deadline.
Keep up the great work! We love you!

Thank you so very much for being so sweet and understanding about it! And, yeah, I do feel like I'm rushing a few of the stories just a little. So it's really nice to know you really don't mind having it a little late. *HUGS* Thank you!
