I'm so gauche

[deelaundry]

In very small type, because asking for presents is tacky:

Anybody want to give me a present?  I never did word-counts for my fics, and now I really want to know.  All you have to do is copy each story, without the header, into Word and check under File, Properties, Statistics.  Simple and quick, except I have way too many fics now as shown on this handy list.  (God, I'm awful.)

Of course, the real present is for me, because I had to go back and read some! :)

Domestic: 6364 words

and an antidote to teh sweetness:

Leave in Quiet: 1943 words

Those two are pretty much diametrically opposed, aren't they? Thanks!!!

How's the sushi fic coming? Will you get it done before The Sprog makes an appearance?

[perspi.livejournal.com]

What is this, I prod you, you prod me back? *grins*

The sushi fic is...well, coming along. Except now I've got an idea for another ficlet in the Aftershocks verse, so...we'll see what happens. :)

Hmm, I think I messed up my HTML there. Will fix.

Thank you so much! For this, and for your recent fic organizing advice. When I get a minute (ha!), I'm soon going to re-arrange my list by category to make it easier for everyone.

[pwcorgigirl.livejournal.com]

You're welcome. For some reason, I love organizing stuff. Anyone who looked at my work office would think I was lying about that, but I like having things to read right under my fingertips.

YOU ARE SO EXCEPTIONALLY AWESOME! You even took out the section markers; an analyst after my own heart. Thank you times seventy-one thousand five hundred nineteen (which is how many words you counted here!).

[poeia.livejournal.com]

Actually, this is the type of thing I can do in my sleep.

Wanna swap? You can set up the PowerPoint presentation I'm avoiding which I have to finish this weekend. It's going to be nothing but a whole bunch of charts with numbers (but I won't have the numbers until 2 days before the meeting we're presenting at so everything has to be ready to drop them in at the last second.)

[deelaundry.livejournal.com]

Sure, I'd swap; I do PPTs all the time. I worked with someone the other day who was revising a PowerPoint - he's very creative with graphics etc. and it all looked great, but he had never heard of the Align functionality. 'Za? I asked him what he did, and he said he lined up everything by hand. Unreal.

[poeia.livejournal.com]

Ooooh, ooooh. Tell me. I need to animate this thing so each column of numbers has to be in it's own text box and then aligned. There's a function for that?

[poeia.livejournal.com]

Well, finding out how many of your fics I still have to read kept me busy during the No Reason commercials. Here are the rest of the ones from the list (except the Chase/Foreman Drabble and One Lump or Two which don't have good links)

[deelaundry.livejournal.com]

Holy moley. With the numbers that everyone has given me, I've written 197,957 words. When I add in One Lump or Two and a few fics that I wrote after last updating the list, that's over 200,000 words in the last year. No wonder I'm tired.

Thanks so much!!!!

[poeia.livejournal.com]

More than that -- some of the drabbles and a few of the stories had word counts already.

[poeia.livejournal.com]

Oops. I Hated Being Thirteen is 330 words (1,377 characters). I'm using the list to catch up on all your fics that I missed -- although I'm finding that I did read about half of those before I started keeping a list.
