PinkPopsicle, I love my card! I had a GREAT birthday--I'll be in the break room for a little while, if anybody's available. Hola, MsQ--thanks for the e-card. I don't speak Spanish, but the big animated birthday cake gave me a clue....

Thanks for the birthday wishes, Zanne and ILTQ. ILTQ, I would never cheat at Chinese checkers, because I don't know to play. Honestly, I don't like games enough to go to the effort of cheating--although, I'm a wicked mean shark at Trivial Pursuit. Fear me, if we play. Mwahahahaaaa.... no cheating necessary--I am breeeeellllyant! Zanne, people have been posting Tracy fics mostly in three places: The Ficathon (http://tq-ficathon.livejournal.com), JE.com (http://www.jane-elliot.com/forums), and Fanfiction.net's GH section (http://www.ff.net). If you post a link here, most people will find it. I totally look forward to reading your story, when you write it.

Sandy, Sally--honestly, Hooked, at a time like this, you have to ask yourself-- WWTQD? She'd say it serves her right for having a forgettable name, then pin the blame on an underling. I say mail the darned things off and call it a day! And thanks for the Happy Birthday. It's my first of the day.

ILTQ, I can't make this work for anything....

Can we all say awwwww? awwwwww. Not let's hope this is written properly, and not just one throw away line. I want smoldering hot!! This could be good. I could so write this. Better yet -- Minerva, you should so write this. Bye bye Lukey, See ya soon! I don't know about you, but I'm saying "Aw."

hey, Hooked! Up for the Break room? http://pub13.bravenet.com/chat/show.php/1049349012

I'm in the Break Room for a little while: http://pub13.bravenet.com/chat/show.php/1049349012

Thanks for the early birthday present, LA! Last year I got Tracy scenes on my birthday, so I'm hoping Monday will be the same. Don't have any fic in the hopper right now--my next prompt is "Kill" and I just...wow, can't think of anything to do with Tracy and killing..... Speaking of Tracy and killing, for some masochistic, inexplicable reason, I chose to rewatch the clip of Tracy's honeymoon to Paul Hornsby. Wow. What a jerk. But boy, she was purty, wasn't she?

Imaginary Postcard from MsQ: Hola, Amigos! Greetings from South of the Border. Loving my vacay so far, exept for the food, music, heat and completely lack of oomphy pelo. I'm counting on you guys to keep the thread going while I'm away. BTW--true story. Saw this weird guy in Taxaca--tall, slender, with spiky white hair and a Property of PCPD t-shirt on (inside out). He was drinking tequila from the bottle and lamenting his "Spankybuns'" lack of bueno clothes and hair. He also kept repeating the phrase "Spinelli is NOT the New Luke" over and over again, whatever that means. I told him he needed to sober up and go home, and he threw a flip-flop at me. Mexico is wierd. I miss you guys. Now. POST. Hasta La Buh-bye! Senorita Quartermaine I swear. That's the post card MsQ would have sent me, if she actually sent me a post card. Scout's honor.

Oh, lawd! Hooked is foot-loose and fancy free (or is that "offspring-free"?) Head for the hills, boys and girls. I think we're in trouble. I'm having a tea party for my birthday tomorrow (my birthday is actually Monday, but we're having the tea tomorrow.) I was going to have seven people, but it's down to like three now. Still, should be fun. At least I have my D.P. to carry and show off. (It's so swell.) Does anybody know when TQ's vacation starts? I'm really hoping for a goodbye between him and Tracy. Speaking of which, I'm also hoping for Tracy-Lulu bonding. I really like them together, and I have been sort of upset that that relationship has been ignored. (Yeah, I like Lulu, even if I don't like her current storyline. Shoot me if you must.) ETA: Congratulations on your 500th post, HookedonGH! You are slipping steadily into madness, and we couldn't be happier for you!

One TrAsh prompt, coming up: Tracy and Ashton search for a secret treasure that might be hidden in Ashton Manor, but neither wants to clue the other one in.

Bumping. Is TQ supposed to be on today? My next prompt is "Kill." I am trying SOOOO hard not to go for the obvious one....

100 Situations #46: Prayer. Requiem: Ned and Tracy take a very long transatlantic flight together. Sad. SPOILER: Character death. URL: http://community.livejournal.com/tq_ficathon/84256.html

Hugs to Lainey! Guys, SOD is doing a focus group on what the fans want. PLEASE go out and support our girl. Here is the URL: http://soapoperadigest.com/features/digest/ ETA: Looks like Livejournal is down for the moment.

OMG, I miss Staci already. Hasta la vista, MsQ. Lainey, I had the same reaction to the spoilers as you did. It wasn't so much as I'd love the chance for Tracy-Lulu bonding and any hope of seeing my darling Nedly would be happy-making. But Dillon...oh, Dillon, what has become of my Young Spielberg??? 4XCray!!! Mad Girl! Welcome back. You have been SO missed. Feel free to post, share fanfic, pop into the Break Room a little more often, maybe..... Now, I have to go--I have a stupid 7:30 meeting at work, and even though I won't get in trouble for being late, it doesn't look good. TTYL.

MsQ, I know the clock is ticking on Mexico--I'm excited for you and depressed to see you go. I know you'll have a grand adventure and come back worldly and sophisticated. I don't know if I'll be able to join you guys in the chat room tonight, so I'll just wish you the best now. Oh, and I'm 2/3 through a new fic. Not smut, one of my arty-farty depressing things (this is what comes of me skipping my meds for a day). Ned is featured heavily. I'll try to post tomorrow, if at all possible. Oh, and Tracy should be on again today. Does anyone have the clips from yesterday?

Actually, it took the poor dear a few moments to catch on to what we were saying, then she just LOL and reaffirmed that she wasn't "like that." Fey's muttering under her breath, "We are," and I'm thinking, Oh, this girl of mine don't have not one single ittywitty bittle fear of death at all. Oh, MsQ, check your email. I responded to yours. It looks like it's only a proofread away from post-worthy. I can proof it for you if you have a little time, or if you just want to go for it--post away. heh-heh. I love being FicMama BetaChick. I get sneak previews of ALL the good stuff. Now, if only I was home watching Tracy on GH....

Yeah, Hooked. It's all about the purse. I love the purse. I have bonded with the purse. The other night we were at Tumbleweed's, and I checked on the purse in the booth next to me to make sure it hadn't fallen on the floor. It's a really good purse, although I think Fey and I had the girl at Wendy's Drive Through questioning her sexuality now. (She oohed and ahhed over it when I was getting the money for our drinks, and then Fey had to tell her it was a Dyke Purse and explain the concept therein. She's mean, that girlfriend of mine.) Already getting an idea for another prompt story, although Mary Lee Slutbaby has been scratching at my subconscious recently. I may pull that woolly mammoth out and see if I can do anything with it...... Tracy is on today, ya know. I seen her...in them previews. Yee-Haw.

Loved the banners, MsQ, and downloading the vid as I type. Thanks for the link to Scott's letter. I really like what I've read about him, and I think his departure from the show is very classy. LA! Squeeness and such at the new chapter. I'm madly enjoying this story, and can't wait t read more. Okay, MsQ, I just watched the video, and I'm all wibbly now. Very very nice. *sniff* It was soooo sweet.

LuNacy Smut, as requested. http://community.livejournal.com/tq_ficathon/83856.html (Bops off to read LadyA's new chapter! Yay!)

Hey, if anybody has emailed me in the last 24 hours, I am not ignoring you. For some reason, I cannot access the Comcast home page or email page. So I'm pretty much dead in the water until that gets straightened out. Just thought I'd let you know.

New TrAsh fic! Thanks to Hooked and...ooh, I don't remember who else was in the chat room that night--but thanks to you both for the insane idea. I hope it worked to your satisfaction. 100 Situations #44- Stuck. "Limo." Newlyweds Tracy and Larry Ashton search for some privacy while visiting her parent's home in New York.

Are Tracy and Luke on today? I'm assuming no followup to yesterday's Shadybrook scenes, huh? Oh, and I love Tracy. She makes me smile. <=See?

I am developing a bond with this purse. It is my new happy place. I am starting to understand the purse thing now, like I've never understood it before. Okay, back on topic. Please tell me they are going to continue the scene at Shadybrook with TQ, LS, and SB today. It would be horrible if they just left it like that (although I think that would not be a huge stretch). On the fic topic--I have half my story typed. I've decided to go with all-dialogue, no narrative. It's only two people, and I think that the more I futz with it, the more I will destroy the sponteneity of the piece. And if it turns out to be a dud, well, there are 99 other stories on the table. I have a clothes-related story twisting its merry way through my head, thanks to TQ's yummy oversized shirts. There is just something yummy about Tracy in an oversized man's shirt.....

Nex, thank you so much for the clips. I watched them before work. A couple of comments: 1. Did anybody beside me think Tony and Jane were both off in the first couple of scenes. I suppose it's because they're both usually so flawless it was very noticable how they were tripping over lines and the timing was off. Eventually, it got better, but the first couple of scenes with them were just...not their best. 2. Ooooonnn the other hand......that outfit. OMG, I am massively in love with the outfit Tracy was wearing. It hearkens back to the Tracy of old--fabulous but flowing, loose but snug underneath, and a darned good color for her. In fact, the combination of this picture and her furniture arranging outfit from LadyA's TrAsh vids has inspired a fic in me, which I will someday soon write. 3. Does ANYBODY believe Skye anymore? Honestly? 4. Oh, the Edward-Monica scene was beautiful. I really loved it. Really really. 5. Did I mention how HOT Tracy looked yesterday? My favorite color (green) and my favorite style of outfit for her. Man, she is looking soooo sharp these days. Do you think Jane Elliot ever turns on the computer, reads these posts, and thinks--"ya'll need to get out more"? AND MY HAIR DOES HAVE OOMPH, DANGIT! *giggle* I'm still giddy from the Dyke Purse, which was VERY well received at my office, btw. Our resident purse expert Leah pronounced it "gorgeous." *glowing*
