Just so you know, I didn't make my deadline. There will be no Lost recap tomorrow. I'll put up a discussion entry for y'all, but I can't in good conscience take three hours to do the recap when the work I'm getting paid to do isn't done.


ETA: Really, try to be supportive of this, y'all (and thank you to the people who are). I hate not doing the recap and this is a really stressful time for me right now.

*applauds your maturity* Nice icon, by the way, whatever it's from.

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

It's the White Witch from the new Narnia movie. I hear the trailer's going to be shown during Chamber of Secrets on TV this weekend.

[sea-of-tethys.livejournal.com]

Oh no! Really sorry to hear about that. Best of luck getting it finished ASAP. Deadlines suck.

*Sends mad hugs and tons of encouragement.*

Ack, I'm sorry. I feel the same way about my thesis. I should really have it revised by, like, yesterday. We will survive without our recap, and besides, that's one less thing for me to procrastinate with anyway. So you're doing us both a favor!

Good luck getting it done. Did you get the Paris Combo stuff I sent you?

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

I did--thanks. : )

[erinlin.livejournal.com]

We're all pulling for you, Cleolinda.

[terrierhead.livejournal.com]

Understandable. Thank you for the many, many fine recaps that you've done for us in the past.

And, hey, what are you doing looking at your LJ? Get to work! :-P

[iamthemoon.livejournal.com]

My friend had that icon a while back...it's very amusing.

[law-witch.livejournal.com]

Good girl, hang with the $$ - we all understand!!

[arby-m.livejournal.com]

your icon is hypnotic.

where's it from?

[hongkongaton.livejournal.com]

Good luck! :D

[agentsculder.livejournal.com]

Don't worry sweetie, somehow we'll all manage to survive without one of your brillant recaps. It's all worth it since in the end we'll have a bunch of them to read. It's more than a fair trade off. Try not to go too crazy with overwork.

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

Yeah, but it's breaking my heart. I actually think the recaps boost my productivity because they help get me out of the rut of staring at an unfinished parody until drops of blood form on my forehead, but my family is basically demanding that I not recap tomorrow night on pain of... noodle-whipping or something, I don't know.

*bakes you a pie*

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

Thanks, man. *sniffles*

[jedilora.livejournal.com]

Don't worry about it-we'll get by sans recap for one week. 'Sides, we'll probably wind up doing a group recap for those who miss the episode anyway.

[methodicmadness.livejournal.com]

Ooh, yeah. A group recap from us for Cleo, in honor of all the wonderful funnies she's given us. :)

[emerybored.livejournal.com]

Does your publisher realize that you can't rush good funny? Do they realize that this is May sweeps and there will be new Lost eps each week?? And that they should work with ABC to use your recaps in a companion book to the show? (Thinking of more $$ for you...)

I'm sure you'll be able to finish cranking out the hilarity. Just have faith. (And I'll say a prayer to St. Anthony, Worker of Miracles.)

[emerybored.livejournal.com]

Something like, "From the author who brought you Movies in Fifteen Minutes, LOST: Season 1 Episodes in Fifteen Minutes."

[wendyzski.livejournal.com]

**pouts but understands**

Have some virtu-coffee and hang in there.

OOh - group recap sounds like fun!

[pesky-pesky.livejournal.com]

That's okay, you do what you need to do. Deadlines can be a bitch. Douglas Adams never made a deadline in his life, so don't stress yourself too much and concentrate on the funny.

[pesky-pesky.livejournal.com]

Um, in light of the ETA I felt the need to clarify. I meant concentrate on the book writing funny, we'll be fine without a recap for a week. I was just trying to help alleviate the deadline stress, not downplay its importance.

Good Luck to you and I look forward to reading your book when it comes out.

*pours you a steaming mug of hot chocolate made with real milk chocolate and cream* Sorry to hear about the deadline. You'll get it done, and it'll be brilliant.

Good luck. I have faith you'll meet this deadline and then you can relax a little and do other things you enjoy.

[snacky]

Oh, and we'll all be really sad if you die too, and that would be badbadbad.

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

::gasp::

Best non-sympathy sympathy comment ever. The whole thing really, but that line, man. That line put it over the top. You have won your place in the Hall of Fame.

[barrelgoddess.livejournal.com]

Do what you gotta do - I wish you could do it for your own sake(since you said it actually helps your creativity), but the deadline IS important, so... *hugs* Good luck! *gives you lots of candy*

[ambiguousreason.livejournal.com]

Yikes, I'm sorry you're so stressed. Don't worry about the recap - we'll all survive, and maybe you can write it once the book is done! *hugs* Good luck.

You just do whatever you need to do to get your work done.
We're all pulling for you.

[missmp.livejournal.com]

Sending along warm fuzzies and comedic inspiration. Just remember that all sorts of good energy is flowing your way right now. Um, now excuse me while I go light some incense and chant to some crystals. :-)

[soleta-nf.livejournal.com]

Wow, good luck with the deadline. We're all pulling for you and sending you lots of extra energy so you can get the book done soon. And no worries at all about the Lost recap - concentrate on the book! :)

[marumae.livejournal.com]

NO HOW DARE YOU NOT SUCCUMB TO MY SELFISH DESIRE!!! Seriously hone *hugs*, this is a stressful time for you and we are here for you should you need us. :3

[newbia.livejournal.com]

That's okay, Cleolinda, I understand as long as you do it eventually, bi-yatch completely. ^_^

[spidey-88.livejournal.com]

Hang in there! Just relax and let the funny flow. We'll be okay without a recap.

Can't wait to buy the book and tell people I know someone who is rich and famous!

Hugs, support, chocolate.

Everything that doesn't kill you, makes you more leet in the eyes of your f-list.
