Review:
To celebrate the Queen and King renewing their vows, there is to be a ball. One problem -- Cain can't dance.
Sometimes you just want a sweet, romantic ball of fluff and this one is particularly well done. DG and Jeb are cute, Cain is wonderfully drawn, and the dancing is even romantic enough to satisfy me. The best part of the story, however, is Glitch/Ambrose. Tin Man authors vary widely in their interpretitation of Glitch post re-brainifying, but I think greenspine does the best job of coming up with a happy medium between the barely-functional Glitch and the relentlessly competent Ambrose and I just want to hug him (even though I'd trust him with projects that would make Glitch cry in frustration). A lovely, lyrical fic.

There :)
But I have my big procrastination project of joy and doom, which second draft is nearing something that will be called 'complete' soon, no matter how much it struggles and tries to slip away *holds on good and shows the thing who's boss*! Wanna give me feedback on that again? If nothing else, I could use some squee and encouragement on that front, since my brain? She gets *eaten*, I'm telling you. Tres gross, that. Also unfortunate, we sometimes get along quite well, and I like her. Erm. Well, if I'm not making sense, the reason would be that I haven't gotten enough sleep myself. That's the only reason and I'm sticking to that version *firm nod nod*.
Fair warning though, that there is a bit more John in this than in the last draft.

As for the big project, bring it on! I can't promise that I'll be any more helpful than last time, but I can ooo and ahh with the best of them:)
(Also, I've decided to sublimate my utter inability to write my Nano novel into a feverish rush to write as many Yuletide fics as possible. The first draft of story two is now done and I'm plotting for story three. I have no life.)
Coolness. And no worries nor hurries, if you please. I *do* have a nice and convincing patient-face around here somewhere, yes I do!
*g*
You bet! I've read some *awesomely hot* het porn of late, so I'm primed and ready. And that sounded less dirty in my head. Anywho. *holds out hand* watcha got?
I haven't been sleeping well either (though I've managed to get more than 2 hours), but I think it's because of the sudden change in weather.
Don't be so hard on yourself. I'm sure we're all eager to read your novels (that's the one with zombies, right?), but we can be good kids and wait ;p
(Also, *someone* happens to have one of my (containing, though not focused on) zombie fics and really needs to read it before she pokes at me for the sequel :P)
Hope you'll sleep better tonight :)
I've just seen Tin Man for the first time (and loved it so much I've ordered the DVD) so I'm really glad to find out there's plenty of fic around! Thanks for this rec, I'll definitely check out the fic. Do you know of any others I should check out?
Other than that, I'm afraid I don't have a lot to offer -- I've mostly given up on Tin Man due to the fact that the entire fandom tends to post its fics on LJ and, though the stories are long, they are usually less than 2,000 words a chapter. I suffered through one mediocre fic with over a hundred chapters and that pretty much burned out all of my goodwill for the fandom.
Thanks, I'll have a look :)
I've been browsing the tags on delicious, and I've actually seen quite a lot of ff.net fics bookmarked there, some of which are pretty long, so it's not all on LJ. I can point you to the ff.net fics I've seen bookmarked if you want, although I'm tending towards either gen or DG/Cain so I haven't saved any of the links to other pairing fics.

Ta, I'll have a look.
