Holiday Love Meme

I feel really awkward doing this. >_> But I am really stressed about several things right now and it might cheer me up.

No, I'd have stuck with earlier time periods than WWII, unless the recipient specifically asked for it.

Yes, that's pretty similar to what I did. I was looking for more detailed information on a particular person I'd found mentioned in two different books - under no less than three different first names (but it was quite obviously the same person). So I checked Wikipedia for all three names - the last name's not exacty rare: All three existed, none of them had any mention of the event I knew him to be connected with. After changng my plot I had the idea to google the man's last name togeher with that of another involved with the event and its location: Bingo! There was a whole free online book. All the details I could ever have wanted ...

Phew! (Those aren't usually at the hospital here. Hospital to me signals 'emergency' or 'surgery', so my frst thought was that someone in your family had an accident.) Sounds annoying, but hopefully he medicine will take care of it.

... The Napoleonic Wars one! (I only just read it.)

Yeah, Google can be funny that way sometimes. Glad you got your information though! :D

(Ahh. No, in that case I'd have said we had to rush someone to the hospital, or mentioned the Accident and Emergency unit. ♥) It is annoying and I'm usually in a lot of pain every month (plus it might cause infertility or complicate pregnancies and I would quite like to have children one day), but yeah, hopefully the medicine will take care of it. :D

Yep, this time you've caught me. :) (Gabriel's role is rather small this time, I admit, but the prompt called for Aziraphale doing Crowley's job and Gabriel wouldn't have approved. ;) )

Hey, it's not Google's fault, if I search for something as imprecise as a Neil Campbell - and twice not its fault, if I try to find him under Colin Campbell or Nial (first one's probably due to that author reading Col. as Colin when it meant Colonel). Once I told it I wanted the Campbell that had something to do with Napoleon and Elba it delivered just that.

(Heh, 'I might be infertile' might be a good way to get rid of unwanted suitors, though. ;) )

Awesome. B) (That's okay! I liked his role anyway, and yes, he certainly would not have approved! XD Poor Aziraphale.)

Oh dear. XD That's odd though, if I see 'Col.' I assume it's Colonel. But yeah, at least it delivered exactly what you wanted once you specified the terms. :D

(HAHAHA! XD Well, I've hardly got suitors lining up anyway - did I mention my sister's engaged, though? - and it's only a 'might' and not a 'high possibility' or anything, but that is true. XD Though hopefully that problem won't turn up for the next three years at least, and my parents know I have no intention of settling down anytime soon and would much rather I get my degree and a job first anyway.)

That first scene was also tough to write and according to my beta the weakest bit, so I feel a bit guilty about his part not being bigger.

Well, it's the only explanation for a Neil that happened to be an army officer turning into a Colin I can find ...

No, you didn't! Someone she chose, I hope!

Awww. XD I liked the fic anyway. :D

XD

Haha, yes, it's her longtime boyfriend. They haven't done any of the traditional Hindu engagement ceremonies yet, but he asked the question privately with a ring and she accepted, so we're just waiting to formalise the engagement. :D (And I like him. He's always been nice to me - when I was 12 and ill with dengue he sent me a get-well card via my sister, I've got a couple of birthday cards from him since then, and he is awesome to my sister. Heck, he's rushed her to the hospital once or twice due to asthma attacks, back when she worked late hours he'd go meet her and walk her home, and every year on her birthday and Valentine's he sends flowers. Also, his early Christmas gift to me this year was a book voucher, so I told my sister, "If he's trying to bribe me, he's succeeding!". XD)

I like it, too, but as an Aziraphale fic, not as a Gabriel one.

Then I'm very happy for her. If they've been together since you were 12, they're probably sure of their relationship by now. :)

[sirius-luva.livejournal.com]

Well, yes, I would never have thought of it as a Gabriel fic. o_O XD It's a GO fic after all, and Aziraphale-centric, and I wanted to hug him.

... well... it's been a fairly rocky on-again off-again relationship, and really, my sister's quite harsh on him, but they seem to have worked out their issues by now and are sweet together. :D
