a/n: I'm so sorry it's taken me so long to get this last story in the 37stitches verse started. I won't bore you all with my reasons, but I will promise that I'm actively working on it now. I've planned all five parts (including this one) and pending no life-altering emergencies I hope to have all of them finished and posted buy the end of this coming month. No doubt galaxy_song will hunt me down if I go back on this promise, so no worries ;). All my love and thanks to everyone who's been reading and reviewing the series thus far, you guys are amazing and continue to fuel my love of these boys.

So, it’s been a while! Can’t believe this is the first piece of fiction I’ve posted since… August last year. Holy shit! I don’t think I’ll be breaking any writing records this year at the rate I’m going.
But hey, at least I’m trying to get back into the swing of writing, right? And thanks to some friendly encouragement I thought I’d start off by trawling the Whitechapel kinkmeme. As you do.
For anyone still actually interested in reading more of my [ 37stitches ] verse, I’ve been inspired (read blackmailed) by my friend
I hope everyone is still well and… around? Livejournal has been more than a little dead from what I’ve seen on my occasional flist trawls. Where is everyone hanging out nowadays? I’m missing the distinct lack of community we used to have on this site!

Least to say, I didn't meet the 50k wordcount but I did manage a rather exciting 27,000words! They've very rough and all over the place, but they're there and I think they're the most words I've ever managed in a month, so pretty damn chuffed. The most challenging part of NaNo was the whole not editing part. Ugh. I can't even tell you how hard that was. I have so much red/highlighted paragraphs/comments spattered throughout the entire document that I'll more than likely rewrite the whole thing, but until I can bare to so much as look at it again, I'm going to just enjoy the hell out of my wordcount.
How did everyone else get on with NaNo? I had a few of you guys on my buddy list, but incase I've missed anyone- tell me all about your struggly writerly ways! :D

In other news, with NaNo over I can *finally* get back to writing fanfiction. asdfgh. I thought my head was going to explode with fic ideas during NaNo. It's just typical that once you decide you can't write any fic, that's all you seem to think about XD fingers crossed this bought of inspiration will last me through December so I can get through the rest of my Whitechapel series and maybe a wee wintery-themed fic or two
It’s fast approaching that time of year again, where writers everywhere start to batten down the hatches in preparation for November’s National Novel Writing Month!
What seemed like a good idea in October swiftly turns into the sort of snot-and-tears drama usually reserved for small children throwing temper tantrums, and after a great deal of angsting and hair-pulling, summarily becomes one of the most stressful months of the year.
So, of course, I usually like to pre-empt this by copping out of doing the 50,000word challenge and opting instead of the fic-a-day approach as seen in previous years through my Caspe-Wri-Mo endeavours. Not that this has been any less stressful, or indeed any more successful, but at least I’ve acted in the spirit of the month of writing and all that jazz.
This year however, instead of going with another Caspe-Wri-Mo attempt, I’ve managed to get myself talked into attempting NaNoWriMo for real (thanks for that,
indiefairy!), and as a result I have decided to inflict my struggling writer ways on you lot throughout the month en leui of posting any actual fic.
Don’t say I’m not good to you! ;P
If anyone else is doing NaNoWriMo this year and wants to buddy up, you can add me [ h e r e ] on the website!
I’ll likely be posting up a daily wordcount with bonus flail/fail commentary depending on how well things are going, but knowing just how much of a perfectionist I can be, it’s unlikely that you guys will get any actual excerpts up on LJ. I will however be using google docs so if anyone wants access to follow my progress/the story as it (very roughly) proceeds, and you’re on my flist, drop me a comment and I’ll look into adding you!
For those of you interested here’s a wee sneak peek of my summary and potential warnings.

Amanzimtoti;
Set in Amanzimtoti, South Africa, this story follows Wayne du Preez as he starts his matric. Completing his final year of high school won't be his only problem however when a boy from his childhood makes a surprise reappearance in small town Toti, throwing Wayne's picket-fence dreams with girlfriend Jess into a tailspin and forcing him to deal with a part of himself he's been denying ever since he shared his first kiss with Kyle way back when.
f/m, m/m; unrated; deals with: homophobia, religion, racism, child abuse (emotional/physical), recreational drug use, underage drinking, self-harm and a bucket load of angst to boot.
Good luck to everyone on my flist participating! May we all write hard and prosper
I have what's called 'fibroadenomas' which are also commonly reffered to as 'breast mice' (and doesn't that just make it sound kind of cute and friendly?). Apparently these are pretty common in women my age, and are harmless in every possible way (aside from the way in which finding them gave me what amounted to a small heart attack, of course.) So yeah, aside from keeping an eye on them myself for any changes, they're completly safe and there's really no chance of them ever becoming cancerous either. Huge relief, I can't even.
So, again, thank you everyone! And special thanks to everyone who sent me messages and/or donated to me on behalf of my [ Miles for MacMillian ] walk I did last Sunday. You guys made me feel so loved and genuinely cared for <33
Again, no pressure at all, but I'm still collecting sponsership for MacMillian
relievedToday I also walked for myself.
I haven't said anything yet, because I tend not to worry about things until they happen, but at the moment I'm being tested for Breast Cancer.
I found a lump a few week ago and was referred to the local breast centre just last week where they found two lumps and took three biopsies. Now, they obviously can't promise anything but they've told me they're pretty confident that they're likely only to be fibroadenomas. Although I won't know for certain until next Friday when I get the results of my biopsy back. Now, like I said, I'm not worrying about anything yet and won't do until I know either way, but I figure getting some positive energies sent my way couldn't possibly hurt my case, right?
My sisters and I always used to joke that it'd be a case of Russain Roulette as to what type of cancer we'd end up getting, because there's just that much of it in our families, but I like to think I'm a bit too young to have to worry about something like this right now.
So yeah. Today I walked for everyone who's ever been affected by cancer in one way or another. I've managed to get some sponcership money from my family, but I'm here to ask if any of my friends would be willing to donate money (no matter how small an amout) to me for MacMillian.
You can donate to me via my paypal, which is: cs_hepburn@hotmail.com
Or, if you want to send me a donation, PM me and I will send you my address.
Alternatively, if you want to purchase me a [ Charity V-gift ], particularly the "Breast Cancer Awareness", I will donate £1 on your behalf.
Please, no one feel obliged. I won't be offended either way you choose to go on this.
<33
