Cross posting Rat and Sword

[rthstewart]

FYI, I'm posting Rat and Sword Go To War on ff.net and AO3 where it's been really, really quiet. Oh well.  The feedback on AW 15 has been amazing and I'm thrilled and so grateful for that. 

For first time readers, a glossary of terms for Rat and Sword and cast of characters is here (such as, what does RTU mean? and what's a Sten?)

Also, here's a map if you get confused about the geography (and boy did I get challenged on the east, west, right and left flank and I never did quite figure out exactly where the panzer divisions were).



Otherwise I'm puttering around with Remix Madness against my better judgement and really allergies have got me seriously wanting to cut my head off.  Anything exciting with you?

This is making me go all AWWWW but admittedly I've got a soft spot for yellow labs. Our current dog is a reject from an assistance dog program (and oh gosh, if you meet her, you know why).

I love "Rat and Sword Go to War"! I would love to re-read it as it gets posted and leave glowing reviews on each and every chapter, and I might do that in three weeks time, but right now I'm nose deep in finals and sinking. But I did want to let you know that it's a fabulous story and I'm glad you're posting it on FF and AO3.

Also, that preview for Quill breaks my heart.

And I need to get back to work...

I'm glad you liked it and I know about Quill <3333 My dog is currently on my legs, tolerating my incessant sneezing. I don't even mind the drool. Good luck with exams!!

I think the feedback for "Rat and Sword" will likely be pretty low on those sites, since a lot of people have probably read and reviewed it on the NBB already. (It's also finals time for some, so you're likely to not hear much within the next few weeks.)

Awww... that trailer! So, so cute dogs.

As for me, I've spent the day cleaning and will be watching one of three films later today. I'm currently debating between "The Aviator", "Paper Moon", or the BBC's "Tinker Tailor" from '79. Was really hoping to watch "The Artist" but someone beat me to borrowing it. Ah well. And then it's back to finishing one fic and overhauling my resume. Fun times.

Oh gosh, I remember Paper Moon from a loooong time ago. I've not seen the Aviator. Tinker Tailor is actually a mini series, so it's a couple of nights. It's REALLY different than the film, which I did enjoy. The mini series has a lot of the lines from the book. Finishing fic? Really???? what?! how exciting!

I concur with both autumnia and marbleglove. As for me, I'm not reviewing on ff.net because I already have here. Also because I'm in not-quite-finals-just-yet-so-let's-assign-huge-papers time.

That trailer. I can't. I have no words for the cuteness. I'm sitting here going "Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww" the entire time.

Good luck with the papers!! Has the timing crushed remix for you?

[lotl101.livejournal.com]

Thanks! No, actually, that's been my reward for getting work done. I have one posted. Sadly, at about 500 words its more or less my longest fanfic. I wrote a short story for a class and that was up to a few thousand, but fanfic I never write anything longer than a drabble so I'm proud of this.

I hope the allergies get a bit better!

I ended up watching "The Aviator" this afternoon and have just now finished "Paper Moon". It's somewhat disturbing to watch Tatum O'Neal smoking in this film. As for "Aviator", I enjoyed it though I thought it really showed just how eccentric Howard Hughes was, and how his OCD really affected him in his later years. I'm gonna try to get in some of "Tinker Tailor" tomorrow.

I'm nearly done with my Rilian one-shot that I mentioned in my last LJ post, so I'm really, really hoping to finalize it this week and post it up here.

I figured it wouldn't make a difference to you if I commented here rather than FFN or AO3, but if you prefer I can do so there?

Thank you so much!

I love puppies! If I could afford the vet bill, I would have three or four german shepherds.

Do you have dogs? I keep seeing videos and pictures and want to adopt.

I have FINALLY gotten around to reviewing Rat and Sword, after finishing it late last night- I reviewed it over on the Big Bang master post, because I didn't know where would be best. It was incredible, and you put so much work into it, and I loved it. AND there's now a new chapter of AW out and I get to read that too! :D It's a good weekend for fic.

Hope the allergies clear up! The pollen has finally been washed out of the air here and I can open up windows at last. It's hideous stuff. Feel better.

Thanks so much! Today is better because of the rain. I walked the dog yesterday and that was a mistake. I hope you enjoy AW! And good luck with Week 2!!

When I manage to have more brain cells in my possession, I shall at least leave you kudos on AO3.

In the meantime, I'm being smug about my logistical prowess (there may have been mental comparisons to your Edmund); found out I was moving to New Hampshire for nine months on Wednesday afternoon, lodging (with all utilities included!) secured by Sunday afternoon.

Now to survive the information overload that is sure to happen, this week. New job function, new office, new people with names to learn (I'm horrible at names, too), and new schedules to learn. At least I know the area.

[rthstewart.livejournal.com]

You are obviously all kinds of awesome. That is JUST GREAT. Congratulations and what a relief to at least know where you are going and can make a smooth transition!

[keeperofqkeys.livejournal.com]

Thanks :-). And it's a HUGE relief knowing that I have somewhere to come back to next weekend that isn't a hotel room. And even if it's a small apartment, it's only for nine months, and it will be more than adequate for that long.
