Why is it so bloody hard to get country music in England?
It gets me so mad that you can buy pretty much any type of R and B from America, Hard rock from scandinavia even retro pop polka from Azbekistan but try to buy a little Brad Paisley, Billy Currington or even, god forbid Danielle peck and you might as well ask at Asda for plutonium.
I heard Danielle Peck (beautiful woman, great fun singer) had a new song out. So i go to check it out and i must have missed the fact that he album came out last year. Can't behave, sounds good right?
So i go to Amazon uk. Nope can't buy it (keep in mind it is over a year old now)
iTunes must have it... uh no. Not iTunes uk.
iTune US does but you have to live in America to get it.
Amazon.com then, come on.
Uh no you have to have an American mp3 account to download it.
Her site then! Come on Danielle show some UK love.
"You can buy her new album at Amazon or iTunes."
NO YOU CAN'T!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Bloody us/uk borders and sodding laws. It's been a year already just give the damn thing!!
It's not in HMV, Mvc, VIRGIN MEGASTORES,
oh WAIT, they do have it but in order to pay for it you have to mortgage a small country.
Why can't I buy these at the supermarket like any other trash they try to flog me?
Same with Billy Currington, Sarah Buxton, Carrie's new one, Trent Tomlinson (I had to bribe a friend who was going to the US to get that for me)
Surely there had got to be more than just me who loves country in England.

Zeus is suddenly in my story. Why??? he wasn't even in the original myth and damn if I don't like the dude. Talk about characters taking on a life of their own.
Anyway too busy to talk. Got to get going on my words.

So finally lost all of my marbles and signed up for Nanowrimo.
For those of you who don't know, Nanowrimo is short for National Novel Writing Month... only I guess it's international now. Started in the US and has taken off.
What you have to do is write 50,000 words in one month. Basically a whole novel. You can't go back and edit, or make sense, just taptaptap type.
It's supposed to show you that you can write a novel.
It's showing me that Crazy is my middle name-- what on earth possessed me?
Oh yeah, that's be Brooke (yup, I'm blaming you babe.)
50,000 words for a month is roughly 1,666 a day-- about three pages. I can do 3 pages a day right?
So I've been practicing, getting my typing fingers on to prepare.
I'm writing a new Jayne/ River fic. Done 10 pages in four days, not too bad, right?

Freaking out already.

I'm currently off work sick at the moment, going silently stir crazy.
So I decided to catalogue my fics. I've done it for Doctor Who and I figured to just list all of my fanfics so i know how many I've written. Shouldn't be too hard, can't have written that many, huh?.
After spending most of the day compiling and searching for unfinished fics on my harddrives, stuff that was posted randomly and pieces even i forgot I wrote the grand total comes to...
231
yes folks Faythbrady has written 231 fanfics. This, of course, doesn't count each individual drabble or chapter but that's not so bad huh?!
So now, for the first time here is the name of every single fanfic I have written in fandom order.
( Major list here. )

Someone has voted "To live for" in the wicked_awards.
Thanks very much.
I haven't been voted for any awards since I wrote Buffyfic.

This fic has a little backstory if you don't mind the brief trip.
As most of my readers know I've had clinical depression on and off for as long as I can remember. Anyway my latest Doctor (a rather cute if collegiate type) asked me if anything precipitated it. No, never has. But it got me thinking of my very first memory of being swamped with the Big D.
I was 7 and I'd wanted desperately to go to the shops on my own (10 minutes walk away) to the ratherly creepily named Carver's Corner. (srsly, who named it?) I was told No in no unceratin terms and i begged and whined and pleaded until I was told why.
A day earlier a little girl, about my age had been abducted from there and found in the park several hours later molested and dead.
I went to bed horrified that it had happened so close to my own home and I dreamed of death for a good few hours before making my way downstairs in the middle of the night.
I have this perfectly vivid memory of edging into the front room where my parents were talking and crawling onto my dad's lap and crying, breaking my heart that I wanted to hide, go away and just leave. My dad (rather unhelpfully) told me that there was nowhere I could go to hide because the world was full of evil things. Then I sobbed that I wanted to die because I didn't want to live in a world where things like that happened.
I don't remember what happened after but that gut wrenching desperation of wanting to be gone, of not wanting to exist has always stayed with me. Anyway, I was thinking about it and this fic manifested itself. If it's not very good it's because it's hard to verbalise. Hate it, whatever. it's really for me anyway.
