The bad news: I wasn't able to make the Monday deadline.

The good news: I think we're still in the game for an October release, because they really, really seem to have a lot of faith in this project, and probably more than I deserve, so I'm funnying away as fast as I can on LOTR and Potter. P.S. Spider-Man turned out AWESOME.

The bad news: There will be no Lost recap tonight. Again.

The good news: I will go back and recap the missing episodes before the season finale, if I can finish the book this week, which dear God is what has to happen. I'm not getting a whole lot of sleep at the moment, obviously.

I'm not going to turn off comments like I did for the last entry, but please keep in mind--well, first of all, thanks so much for y'all's patience. But "OH NOOOOOES, RECAP WOE"? Kind of not what I need to hear right now. I feel bad enough about it as it is.



ETA: Oh! I totally forgot to tell y'all about the Squishy's Star Wars review from yesterday!

No woes here -- we'll miss your recap, but work you're getting paid for is way more important than work that's just fun. And since we all want to buy the book, it's really win-win, isn't it? :)

[modpixie.livejournal.com]

do what you need to do. get some rest and take care of yourself as well. we love you and we want you to be okay.

[evilstorm.livejournal.com]

Well. I'm one of the rare few, I think, who...um, skip the recaps because Lost really isn't my thing _{don'tkillmeaughIdon'twannagetintoitaugh}.

But I pump a fist and cheer you on and offer cookies and hot chocolate or beverage of your preference as well as definitely heaping on the m15m love. Yay.

*sigh*

People? Cleo has this thing called work. And I know she brings the funneh, and I know we like the funneh, but sometimes that work thing? Takes precedence over the funneh. Shocking and horrifying, I know. Stop with the OMG NO RECAP? WILL YOU DO ONE LATER? I RILLY NEED ONE! OMG PLZZZZ? It's rude, and it also makes you look like an asshole.

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

Someone fed you after midnight again, didn't they?

(pets)

(carefully)

[seraphina-pyra.livejournal.com]

*sends good vibes* good luck with the book.

[sweetle.livejournal.com]

Yay for Spiderman turning out well! And you sound (slightly) less stressed than you did before, so that's good as well and probably makes it a bit easier to make with teh funneh. *waves pompoms*

Support!

Just want to say how amazingly cool it is that you're working so hard on this thing that started out just being fun, whatever, post on the internet. It's a lot of stress making a profession out of something that was just a hobby, i'm really impressed with you. *fangirl!*

[gryphonmage.livejournal.com]

I rarely post here, but I wanted to say good luck! We're all pulling for you!

[svetlyee.livejournal.com]

Your icon is Lizzie! Yay!

[hail-atlantis.livejournal.com]

I feel bad enough about it as it is.

PLEASE NOT TO BE FEELING BAD! You are putting the work you're paid to do first, which is as it should be. And as much as we all love your recaps, I have a hard time believing that people are THAT completely dependent on them for their happiness.

I would send you a Working Hard Mix Tape if I didn't think it would make me a stalker-fangirl.

[wendyzski.livejournal.com]

Remember that the folks whining about the OMG NO RECAP WOE are only doing it because they know you are funny and they miss you.

::pets::

Dude, I'm in Britain, Lost doesn't even START here till August so I've been avoding the recaps anyway.

Lost recaps = not important AT ALL.

Cleo's mental health = VERY FUCKING IMPORTANT.

Besides, if you get upset, then Vladimir gets upset and I don't think I can cope with both of you being miserable :p

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

Awwwww!

(I hope they've gotten through a certain number of episodes in Britain by the time the book comes out, because there's an episode that is SUCH A HUGE GIANT SHOUTOUT to Two Towers that I had to put it in the LOTR parody. Like, seriously, characters from Lost actually show up.)

[koritsimou.livejournal.com]

Who is doing the OMGZ WOES? That's not very classy of them.

Just do your thing, baby. We'll be here when you get back.

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

It's people who really mean well, and probably don't realize that even something as innocent as "Oh no! No recap! But we love them! Do you think you'll be able to do it later?" is just something I don't need to hear right now. Which is why I'm saying so, just to say--you know, I really appreciate the sentiment. It would just help me more not to hear it juuuuust right now.

[pjrampolla.livejournal.com]

Seriously? It's so way better this way, since I tivo them and don't get around to watching them for like three weeks. So they're not here to tempt me. Not like it has any affect(effect?) on you or anything, but it's better for me. And good good good luck! *hugs*

[jillybinks.livejournal.com]

Completely understanding of your need to do your work!! However, thrilled that you will be going back at a later time and recaping the last few. Whenever you have the chance, I will love to read them!

[kotszok.livejournal.com]

People seriously give you Recap!Lament...?? O_o Well, anyway, I'm rooting for ya! Best of luck, take care and all!

[mitchy.livejournal.com]

recaps, schmaps. The fangirls/boys will live without them, oddly enough. Being funny on demand is bloody hard work and I admire anyone who has the dedication to tough it out. So hang in there and know we're all sending good vibes to you :) And caffeine. And chocolate *grins*

[http://users.livejournal.com/_waterlilies/]

Anyone who doesn't understand the pressure you're under and start whining... well, I was going to say something else, but it was pretty bad, so let's just say they're rude. And jerks.

And the faith in you? Totally deserved. You have more funny in your little finger than most of the people I know and your m15ms are so awesome. I'll keep my finger crossed for your October release. :)

[wendywoowho.livejournal.com]

Yay, still game for October release! Yay, funny juice!

[wmetoile.livejournal.com]

I feel bad enough about it as it is.

Oh please, don't feel bad about it. We're all anxious to read the book, so best of luck—I'm sending you vibes of funny. *Funny...Funny*

See? Take care of yourself.

[ebonlock.livejournal.com]

You're worth the wait, and now I can get all bouncy about your book coming out! So double 'Yay!' :)

[gaminette.livejournal.com]

omg - I so cannot wait for your book! ^_^

[hybridutensil.livejournal.com]

*limbers up* *dons short skirt* *picks up pom-poms* *dances like a big, uncoordinated goof*

Go Cleo! Go Cleo! Go-go go Cleo! <---- poor imitation of a cheer from someone who threw grapes at cheerleaders at football games back in high school...

I keep meaning to send you chocolate as a thank-you for being so day-brightening. And perhaps other stuff :) Keep on the lookout in the near future :)

[dietcokebreak.livejournal.com]

No worries about the "Lost" recap; a girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do, right? :D

Sleep is good; I hope that you can get some.

And because you are the only person on LJ who I know will appreciate this: I was released early from jury duty yesterday and as it was after lunch, I opted to go home rather than into work. I ended up watching on Encore! Never Say Never: The Deidre Hall Story (http://us.imdb.com/title/tt0134841/). She is just SO BAD that she is great. (OF COURSE she played herself; I mean WHO could honestly play someone that over the top...)

Good luck with all the writing!

[squirrelgirl22.livejournal.com]

I'm just glad that the book is going well. We might indly ask you to do the "Lost" recaps when they're shown again this summer in reruns, but we all know you've got bigger, more publisher-related fish to fry right now. Keep it up, keep going, you're almost there!

[squirrelgirl22.livejournal.com]

I just read over all of the other comments and realized that you didn't want people saying "You can do the Lost recaps later". To clarify: I didn't mean next week later--I meant AUGUST later. We just love to read them so much, and we can't wait for the book either!

[heathrow.livejournal.com]

Go do what needs to be done.

Seriously.

Your fan base understands. :D
