Icemist, I will join you in something fizzy (does lager count?). I haven't done anything either but still feel a proprietorial pride in everyones efforts. Fab job everyone, you have gone above and beyond and I'm proud to have mislaid my sanity with each and every one of you!

Gonna have to watch Ep 3 again myself now just to keep up with you all. Love the bit where Sohail lifts his shaky finger towards Molly and CJ has the most gorgeous "concerned" look on his face, followed up by a worried hair ruffle. Shivers up spine or what?

For tonights viewing I am going to concentrate on operation bulge and operation rear end!

Meanwhile a spoiler (?!) for ep 3 ish ...

And a pic for SPO to say thank you for keeping me entertained (having never ever wanted to read anything about zombies ever before!)

Just checking in. Busy night ahead preparing for a work thing tomorrow when I am centre stage (not what I really like but I have to put the bloody effort in I think on this one). Might not be able to keep up with this tonight or if I do, it will be late.

There is ABSOLUTELY no chance of decompression for me when you lot keep reminding me of all the best bits! Actually, last night I watched episodes 4 and 5 whilst cooking and then whilst doing some Christmas cards later on. I think the beginning and the end of episode 3 are some of my favourites and that gorgeous concerned look CJ has on his face when Sohail points the finger at MD just makes my stomach flip every single time.

Looking forward to seeing our literary works there for all to read. I am quite excited!

Oh and apsara, I had the same problem when photographing some men's stag toiletries in Joules a couple of weeks ago. My friend said "What on earth are you doing?" so I muttered something about a "friend" at work who was really into stags. I must be able to bluff my way through it all more easily than you! Practice makes perfect!

Especially for ILoves concentration - what about CJs little habit of the tip of his tongue just ever so slightly caught in his front teeth. Now that gets me every time...

I've had to escape the house as my DSs are seriously damaging my health! I'm at the gym and going to attempt yoga! DH actually brilliant and told me to go (in a good way) I should return, calm and reading for my fizz and an episode of OG!
My viewing of Ep3 this afternoon is my salvation!

cjwoofwoof how am I supposed to concentrate on my work presentation when you are doing all this! In actual fact, the lip biting thing doesn't quite float my boat as it were as much as it does for some of you. It makes me giggle actually because whenever he does it, it makes me think of everything you all say.

Something else that is making me smirk a lot today: remember my elderly friend who asked if these threads are all about porn (and subsequent references I then made to we posters being hardcore)? I was wondering what on earth she would say if she knew about the fanfiction! She would definitely think we were tiptoeing into the world of the unsavoury and not to be spoken about!

Right, off to sort out my presentation. I need to be brilliant.

No Ilove it's not the lip bite, it's the tongue-tip-suck! Not sure which Episodes it appears; damn now I'll have to re-watch all 5 to confirm the to-curlingly delicious moments they happen. Oh well, ok I'll do it I suppose. No important Presentation for me tomorrow, just plain old CJ research...again!

Spotted but didn't take photo of another stag item today in Boots. It was a cast iron kitchen trivet with a stag on it and the words "If you can't stand the heat.." to which the correct response is of course "Join CJ in the paddling pool."

Oh and spo meant to say yesterday that another thing I loved about your latest instalment was the reference to the photo on his desk (something I had obsessed over).Very clever.

Extremely jealous of those of you who can rewatch episodes at will. I am waiting for CJ in my stocking, but the wait is agony.

crikey, it takes forever to get something published. They don't tel you it can take upto 6 hrs for it to appear!!

Anyway, come tomorrow morning Our Zombie Girl and Those Words We Needed To Hear should be online to read.

ooh www.fanfiction.net/s/10865022/1/Our-Zombie-Girl
should be able to read the first chapter (s)

and www.fanfiction.net/s/10865044/1/Those-Words-We-Needed-To-Hear

our 3rd story will be published tomorrow along with the next zombie one

Well done icemist. Can't wait to see them on the site and to see the reviews! I'm so proud of our talented writers.

Oh cross post. They look amazing!!

Checking back in. The presentation wasn't as hard to cobble together as I thought. Need some light relief now before going back and double-checking it. Oooh, you used my title icemist. I am so excited to see it.

Had a quick look this morning over breakfast at some of the other fanfics. The grammar and spelling is atrocious in so many of them. Do these people really call themselves writers? Do people not care about the English language any more?

so get liking and reviewing

and BA is still alive and has retweeted something

Smiling like a looney tune here to see the stories up on fanfiction! Well done and thank you icemist!

we were talking about swear words today in work and I mentioned using 'cockwombles' noone said anything, no recognition or anything of the word oh well, bet they all appreciate my calendar come the 1st Jan

cjwoof is the tongue suck in "piss of Dawsey"? I will have to re watch too!

How amazing to see the Fan Fic , very proud of you lot :)

one mystery solved

@TonyGrounds Tony, sorry to bother, but why exactly DVD version of ep1 has f..kmuppets instead of original cockwombles when Molly returns?

@Chilicat11 Orig both f/m but can't swear 1st 10 mins BBC1 so also filmed c/w so we had both versions. Admin error left f/m in DVD at end. x

icemist you are on fire tonight.

icemist you are a legend, thank you. Richtea when you said you were having something sparking I pictured one if those cocktails with a sparkler in it. So sorry some of you cannot now watch the last bit of ep 3 without thinking of zombies. If its any consolation i was watching it the other day and kept thinking one of the patients in the background was going to sit up and start grunting!

We already have 2 positive reviews :-))

Spelling: iloveblue, there is a possibility that not everybody writing on fanfiction is a native English speaker (I am not, and despite writing regularly for work, I found myself a bit in doubt whilst jotting down that bit of our story...)
Plus, these phones and tablets we use are really nasty, sometimes they auto-correct words in ways that drive me crazy! I know, I am not that fussy because I write here and I think maybe it doesn't matter that much (and I think you understand anyway. Lunatics understand lunatics :-)). If I was publishing something, I'd surely be more attentive

it comes up before you post the story that you should run spell check, check your grammar etc
