Life: The VCR saga and another thing
I am Mac-frigging-Gyver.
I fixed the VCR! Well, it doesn't make banging noises anymore, and plays tapes and records tapes, not that I'm going to let it do any of those things unattended again, ever. There was a bit of tape stuck in underneath some roller-thing, and another whatsit that was partway out of a little socketty thing that I pushed back and I have no idea what I actually did or if I could ever repeat it, but the damn thing works for now so YAY! I even have a plan for reacquiring the lost episodes, so also yay!
Thank you to everyone for your empathy and support in my moment of VHS-related emo. *hugs you all*
On a(nother) personal note, at fanfiction.net, Laundry Day has hit 15000 total reads of all chapters combined and 1000 reads of the last chapter. I take the latter number as the number of people who actually read or re-read the whole thing.
This makes me happy, particularly because hot-posting that story drove me insane, and is the reason why I had at one point sworn (swore?) that I would never ever start a multi-chapter fic and hot-post chapters again. Until Quantum Rock. Which is, of course, driving me insane. Sigh.
Anyway, it doesn't matter to me how the numbers above compare to traffic on other stories, it just makes me happy that maybe 1000 people have my words in their brains and none of them have written me hate mail yet. So, again, yay! :-D
