I have selected a title for the November 12th discussion--Hang About, by Irene, newly released through Pros-Lib!

[byslantedlight.livejournal.com]

Excellent - thanks! (I just printed that out for reading this morning myself - fab new-old Pros fic by a favourite author... *g*)

Pros-Lib

Okay, bit of a dingbat admission. I happily said yes when asked if my stuff could be Pros Libbed, I like to share, and apparently have a few things on the CDs (I think).

But I haven't actually signed up to Pros Lib, so is this story anywhere else?

Never mind if it isn't. I'll just skip a week. :0)

RE: Pros-Lib

[byslantedlight.livejournal.com]

It's in the zine Overtures (http://www.palelyloitering.com/Fic/hangabout.html), but I suspect that's not going to help. You should get hold of the ProsLib CD though, there's alot of fic on there that is unlikely to be online any other way (or sign up to the Yahoo group, of course).

In the meantime, I drop me an email to slantedlight at gmail dot com.

As ever, impressed by your zine-iness :0)

It says it's a long fic, I probably wouldn't have enough time for something very long, any idea how long 'long' is?

:0)

Sure, I downloaded and saved it. 40 A4 pages at Times New Roman12 font, or 17,030 words if you prefer that. In ProsLib terms "long files" are defined as over 64kb.

I mean, if you ever want to read it in your life, feel free to drop me a line - it doesn't mean you have to read it tomorrow... and even the Reading Room for it is nearly a month away! *g*

17,030 words if you prefer that.

[fiorenza-a.livejournal.com]

I do!

I think in words, I'll drop you a line in a mo, thank you very much :0)

[jessebee.livejournal.com]

I just read that for the first time, all hail ProsLib! *g*

[jessebee.livejournal.com]

I wonder if I should put a disclaimer on my choice of story for tomorrow? *g* Ah well, hoping for a lively discussion!

[byslantedlight.livejournal.com]

Lol - what kind of disclaimer?! This isn't... a fic that I'm talking about? *g*

[jessebee.livejournal.com]

*bg* Do you think that'd work?

[byslantedlight.livejournal.com]

Well it might not have the effect you were hoping for above... *g*
