Sweet Charity - 'Treadmill' timestamp - 'The Lad That Loves You True'  
Okay, so, this was written for wolfling, and the request was a timestamp of The Song of the Treadmill. It doesn't adhere 100 percent to the request, but close enough, i hope! Beta'd, of course, by the lovely darkhavens.

The title is from A.E. Housman's More Poems.

Wheeeeeee!  
I'm all excited all over again. Another podfic! I dunno why it's so flail-inducing, but it just *is*.

So - twasadark asked to make podfic of my Supernatural story The Song of the Treadmill, and of course i was flattered and said yes.

It's now available for download in several places, but i'll just give you all the one link.
:)

Treadmill Podfic.

Thank you, twasadark, so very much! It's lovely!

*twirls around*

ETA: And there is cover art! By cybel! You can see it here. :)

On me...yes yes, fascinating! And...'In Dreams'  
*waves tiredly*
See that icon? That is *so* me. But, i've work yet to do. The last couple days have been hardcore cleaning and packing and moving. Forty minute drive each way, unloading, more cleaning... Today was more of the same with added DSL and Cable-guy antics, which took much longer than anticipated.

Tomorrow - the great move-in, in which our beds and toiletries go to the new house! Wheeeeee! And computers, too. :)

So, i haven't been around, won't be for a couple more days, just lurking but man, so busy.
And so, so tired. Did i mention i was tired?
*yawn*

Anyway - back to getting my desk/computer ready to be loaded up in the morning.

I leave you with a teeny coda to 'The Song of the Treadmill'. marciaelena wanted to know what it was like when Dean killed the demon. This probably isn't enough to suit, but i hope it still satisfies!

*yawns more*
Okay, this is me, signing out.

'The Song of the Treadmill' - final chapter!! 17/17  
Oh, i thought this would *never* come. Sheesh! I can't believe i took so long, writing this final chapter. But! Here it is. I hope it's up to snuff! And that it ends in a satisfying way for everyone who's stuck with me so far.

Thank you, as always, darkhavens for her excellent polish. And sweptawaybayou for keeping me going.

Nochri is Hebrew for 'stranger' or 'foreigner'. Thank you, marciaelena!


The stars are rolling in the sky,
The earth rolls on below,
And we can feel the rattling wheel
Revolving as we go.
Then tread away, my gallant boys,
And make the axle fly;
Why should not wheels go round about,
Like planets in the sky?

'Song of the Treadmill - part sixteen!  
Hallo, hallo!

I feel a little...alone! My flist has been so quiet... But that's okay. strippedpink has kept us all entertained with her picspam posts of boys. :) Well, okay - *a* boy, but sometimes *boys*, and...that's all good.

There has also been some batshitcrazy going on vis a vis Firefly, slash, and fringy lunacy but - it's hiatus! Seems like the weirdest shite comes to light when we don't have our 'stories' to keep us occupied. :)

Dearest darkhavens beta'd, as usual - yay! And sweptawaybayou cheered me on, as usual. Double yay!

And reremouse finished Parts, her Spike/Xander genderswitch fic which is just *made* of win. Yay all around!

Previous parts in my memories, and tags. Enjoy!

'Song of the Treadmill' - part fifteen!  
Hello!
Thank you, everyone, for the wonderful and kind words about Haji-the-cat. They really helped. Cat was also very touched, as Haji was 'his boy', and he really felt the loss keenly those first few days. Thank you.

Our temperatures here went sixty-teens-sixty, so - March is in like a lion, i believe! Crazy stuff. Eight inches of snow down where my mom lives, but no tornadoes, yay!

Supernatural to get a fourth season - wheeeeeeeeee! :) I'm pleased.
My usual beta - Happy Birthday, darkhavens! - is off partying, so i had sweptawaybayou give this a look-see. Thank you, bay-bee! *smooch*

DH usually manages to find *something*, though, hehe. If you all see anything, please point it out to me!

*i'm a bit nervous about his chapter. not sure why, just...yeah*
*bites nails*

Enjoy!

*ETA*! Despite my atrocious wording, Snow is a *very good read-through person*! Damnit. :)

Da et atzmecha is Hebrew for 'know thyself'.

New 'Treadmill' - part fourteen!  
Yes, it's been a while. What can i say? I'm just...lame that way.

Anyway! Some wonderful people left me some wonderful comments here, at svmadelyn's lj and at Cupid's Drop Box. I luff you guys, so much! Thank you!
:)

reremouse and cordelianne are co-mods at spring_with_xan this year, and sign ups have begun! Go here for information and to join in on the Xander love!

Now for the fic. Yay! This is getting close to the end, i do believe. I'm so pleased everyone has stuck around for my slow progress! I seem to be writing more slowly these days.

Previous parts here in tags. Beta'd, as always, by the delightful darkhavens, and encouraged by sweptawaybayou. Enjoy!

At last, at last - 'Song of the Treadmill' - part thirteen!  
*waves* Helloooooooooo out there! So sorry for the long delay. I have been sick, recovering, and then *sick again*, omg. I swear, it's been the lamest, longest season for being sick *ever*.

Plus, it's so damn cold lately - i weep over my heating bill.

Two fun things - my sister introduced my mother and i to 'Slings and Arrows' over the xmas holiday, and i've watched all three seasons and my *gods*, that is so, so *fun*! So fun, so funny, so silly and so touching. I laugh and *cried* and just...loved it. I definitely recommend it.

I'm also on the verge of having watched *all* of season one of 'Torchwood' and i *love* it. Love them all! Yes, i love Gwen, too. Heh. As soon as i see the last episode, i'll be watching the two new eps of season two which i'm a bit spoiled for. But...wheeeeee! A show where the slash is canon - what could be better?

Anyway - on with the fic! Thanks, everyone, for being so patient. Enjoy!

'The Song of the Treadmill' - part twelve! At last.  
Wheeeeeeeeee! So late. I have *guilt* when i don't post, which is probably dumb, but...there it is! Seems like the holidays got me all discombobulated, and then i've been fighting this freaking *cough* since November... I'm now on *way* too many meds, but it's only for a week! And then maybe i'll be well! Yay!

Anyway - finally got this next chapter done and wanted to post *so much*. And my usual beta, the incomparable darkhavens wasn't available. *whimper* So i had an 'emergency' beta done and now...i feel so dirty! DH - you know it's you, only you!!
:)

Actually, kudos to black_samvara, who stepped up and did a wonderful quick beta for me. Thank you thank you! So much!

And, of course, there is always sweptawaybayou. *smoooches*

'Song of the Treadmill' - part eleven! And Holiday wishes...  
Hello, flist, and a very merry holiday season! Merry Solstice, Happy Christmas, Joyful Chanukah, Blessed Ramadan, Peaceful Kwaanza... I love this time of year, and i hope, for all you, many blessings and much joy. I have no idea how much i'll be around to read my flist for the next few days, but i'll be back eventually, a couple pounds heavier from all the bread and cookies. Wheeeee!

Once again, all beta credit to the lovely darkhavens, and my emotional prop and bestest IM chat buddy *evah*, sweptawaybayou. *luffs you guys*
On to the fic! Previous parts here.

'Song of the Treadmill' - part ten!  
*blows on fingers*
OMG. Today? The furnace stopped working. Thank gods for electric blankets and space heaters but GOD. Really, really, really can't afford to replace the damn *furnace* right now. Please gods, make it be a ten-cent fuse!!
*crosses everything*

Otherwise, i have no news. My xmas shopping is basically done. I need to wrap some things. I need to mail some cards. That is all. Yay! I'm feeling quite content, really. :) I hope everybody on my flist is doing well and not having too much winter-weather craziness! We seem to have dodged the worst of it, so far.

On to the fic! Beta'd by the incomparable darkhavens, as usual. And where would i be without sweptawaybayou to keep me company as i tippity-type? *snuggles*

'The Song of the Treadmill' Part nine, and sundry stuff...  
*peers at last post* I guess my flist isn't one for PC games. :)
Also - a note about various...stuff, going on in the SPN fandom. I think dodger_winslow had a very good post about it here. I also agree with something someone said in this comment in ellipsisblack's lj.

I think respect - just general, for all living things respect - is a good idea, and something to actively try to have. I'm *not* pointing fingers and saying 'made of fail' at any particular thing, just...the general tone of a lot of fandom, lately.
'Nuff said, i think.
*and p.s. - i think it's perfectly cool if clex_monkie89 laughs at me*
*smooshes her*


On to the fic! I'm posting before letting darkhavens see it, so there may be a bobble or two. DH, please feel free to take me to task in comments! Or anybody else, for that matter. :) Snow, of course, has cheerleaded, like a very cute and kinky cheerleader.
*picks her up and twirls her around and around*

'Song of the Treadmill' - part eight!  
Wow, it's chilly! I love it. I have my slippers on. :) Wednesday we went out to the country and cut down a cedar tree. Now we have a lovely, lovely tree in the living room that smells *so* good. We had so much fun, climbing rocks and wandering through the woods and finding *just* the right tree.

Then i had a moment of stupid and ate salad with our dinner, which i should not do. Raw veggies + me = bad. So i was sick all day Thursday, what fun. Sheesh.

This time around, i have a pimp. An amazing, really *different* SPN fic, seen from an outsider pov and just *not* what you're expecting. Go and read Strangers in Gilead. You will love.
Plus - witling is writing more Spander! Wheeee!
*looks at Azure*
*vows to write more very, very soon*

Anyway - more fic! darkhavens was my lovely beta, as always, and sweptawaybayou cheered me. Thank you, my lovelies.

Enjoy! Previous parts are here.

Post holiday and fic...The Song of the Treadmill part seven  
Hullo, hullo. Well, a long, lovely weekend. We had *snow*! It didn't stick, or anything. I'm still sick, which is lame. Chest hurts. Doctor tomorrow. Probably getting an xmas tree this week, yay! We always cut down a cedar, they smell *so good*.

Otherwise, wow - totally nothing going on in my life. Just...it's rainy and cold, i'm happy, i'm reading/writing/being fannish and doing house/life stuff and...that's all. Got some xmas gifties already, which is amazing for me. Yay!

Anyway - here's more fic! Part seven. And no, part eight isn't going to be the last part. I am so very bad at this. But - more fic! Thank you, sweptawaybayou for the cheerleading and reading, and darkhavens for the beta-ing. You guys roxor.

'The Song of the Treadmill' - Sam/Dean - Adult - five of eight  
Hello, flist!

Monstrous continues to get mail, and she really is enjoying it. I'm sorry i don't have her on here saying her 'thank yous' in person.. Anyway - you guys are the best.

It got *cold* here overnight, which is awesome. Alas, it seems to have brought me and Cat both low, especially heinous considering yesterday was Cat's birthday. We had pizza and red velvet cake and a low-key get-together of family and friends. I'll put up a picture when i can.

On to the fic! Sorry this is a shorter entry...it's just how it worked out. Enjoy!

ETA: I'm having weird mail issues, and some emails/notifications seem to have wafted away into the ether. So if you don't hear from me when normally you *would*... Poke me. :)

Hello, hello!
