Well, it's about time.

Is she Lucas' Twitter 'wife'?

DumSpiroSpero · 28/11/2011 10:11

I had three like that within a couple of minutes of posting it initially which is why I took it down to check a few things out. She jumped down my throat re the last JP fic, so now I am just going to ignore it tbh.

DumSpiroSpero · 28/11/2011 10:12

Yes I believe she is Twigs - probably pissed off at me flirting with him the other week!

PassTheTwiglets · 28/11/2011 10:13

Oh, well then she clearly has ishoos.

SupermassiveLBD · 28/11/2011 10:22

O..M..G

I go away for few minutes (well hours) and all this kicks off!

A new JP story and The Calendar

If it's any consolation, it was a bad night, and not in a good way.
I am up to my eyes, so haven't time to read JP for the moment, but I know it'll be up to Spiro's usual good standard.

As for those comments, they just sound like jealousy and mean-spiritedness to me. Nothing riles me more.

BBL, i hope. Meanwhile, the thought of that Calendar is doing bad things to me...

TransylvanianVampiress · 28/11/2011 10:41

as all 13 dwarves, Bilbo and Tall Paul ride their horses n- looking forward to that scene!!

I'm so late, but had to read that article - I. WANT. THAT. CALENDAR. or at least which ever month is of must interesting purely from an academically study point of view obviously! Grin

Must dash!

::shakes head sadly at anyone who even pretends to be Lucas' wife on Twitter - it's a sorry RL she must lead poor lady::

DumSpiroSpero · 28/11/2011 11:28

I believe there were murmurings of a Twitter baby too Hmm

And to think I thought I was bonkers..

SupermassiveLBD · 28/11/2011 11:56

Well you just knew I wasn't going to be able to resist taking time out to read. Great stuff, Spiro, I'm loving all the characters and the plot has got me hooked from the start.

I am really looking forward to part 2.

LadyDamerel · 28/11/2011 13:36

::locks Spiro in her study and pokes her with a sharp stick to make her type faster::

We want part 2, woman Grin.

SupermassiveLBD · 28/11/2011 13:50

Why are we waiting... Grin

TransylvanianVampiress · 28/11/2011 13:57

:: Joins in too:: "Why are we waiting.....?"

TransylvanianVampiress · 28/11/2011 14:06

::pauses to take breath and say::

Massive I've been meaning to ask if you have these on the Island - may be an improvement on your plain rice cakes!!

::Breaths:: Oh why are we waiting.....?!

SupermassiveLBD · 28/11/2011 14:10

Thanks for tthe thought, Vampy - I've not seen any flavoured ones here, unfortuntely.

Why are we wai-ai-ting

DumSpiroSpero · 28/11/2011 14:28

Because I've been at work all morning!

I have absolutely no idea where I'm going with this one, so you'll have to bear with me (and obviously I need to scrub up my research skills to ensure that every word is 100% accurate and realistic Wink)

Another chapter by the end of the week if not before, and another story starting Thursday which some of you will recognise but a couple of you won't...

DumSpiroSpero · 28/11/2011 14:30

Oh, just checked my WP news - it seems a certain person is backtracking slightly Grin.

OP posts:
SupermassiveLBD · 28/11/2011 14:38

No pressure, Spiro! Just registering our approval and appreciation, that's all.

DumSpiroSpero · 28/11/2011 14:52

Do me a favour if you've got a mo and have a look at what I've just posted on there - doesn't sound too 'up yours' does it?

OP posts:
TheSmallPrint · 28/11/2011 15:05

No it doesn't sound like that at all Spiro.

why are we waiting

SupermassiveLBD · 28/11/2011 15:14

Very gracious, I thought, Spiro. Considering... Wink

SupermassiveLBD · 28/11/2011 15:21

Going back to the Hobbit report, aren't you loving the description of that scene betweeen Thorin and Gandalf? Grin It sounds exactly what you would expect from our Man.

DumSpiroSpero · 28/11/2011 15:40

And still she has to have the last word.

I'm starting to think I should be flattered at the amount of time and energy she's putting my way!

OP posts:
SupermassiveLBD · 28/11/2011 15:44

On the other hand, you have already clocked up over 50 reads.

VictorianChristmasVamp · 28/11/2011 15:59

Hi all

Tis me Vampy!! Thought as I have my Christmas tree up, I'd start the festivities here and besides I name changed for a thread in bereavement about funerals and burials and thought it might be a bit weird in case people were stalking me! to connect this thread and another so serious one!

Anyway......

Spiro - Wow!! My colonel has been quoted on the interweb by a soon-to-be famous, multi-million pound earning author!!! Grin Remember us when you're dedicating your Oscar!
It was pretty funny how Lucas' pretend wife (LPW - wonder if we could get an F in there somewhere!!Grin) Hmm suddenly almost came to your defence when the other stalker critic came back and started picking holes in the plot! I really think some people really don't have any RL ignoring the fact that any spare moments she's had today, she's been on here!Grin

And I agree that description of Thorin's scene sounds nothing less than we have learnt to expect from our study subject - so can't wait to see it - how long do we have?????? Good thing we haven't started singing for that yet!

Looking forward to your new offerings Spiro - but I can't believe that you have put your RL work in front our need for part 2 and more!WinkGrin

Smile
DumSpiroSpero · 28/11/2011 16:29

Actually if you read between the lines I think the other poster was backing me up which LPW suddenly backtracked.

I'm starting to understand why actors don't read their own reviews Confused.

Must go and do something constructive for a bit for a change
