Some temps, even temps who are here covering me for a couple of days, are fantastic. Some are terrible but at least harmless.

Some temps touch all my stuff. I mean, presumably all of them do, but some do it with seeming malice aforethought. SHE TOUCHED EVERYTHING. She moved my tissue box. Why would you move a tissue box? I mean, it's easy to move back, I'm not intrinsically upset about the tissue box, but I'm baffled as to why one would move it. She also didn't sort the mail, at all, ever, just piled full mail bins on top of one another behind my desk. That's five days of mail I just sorted. I did get new pants while I was gone, which is nice, but for some reason she decided my personal mail should go on the floor under my desk.

She twisted my phone cords. That's nearly impossible to do unless you have some kind of evil intent or really unfortunate compulsive tic. Again, I don't care about the cords actually being twisted, they untwist easily enough, but why would you do that? Why make life more difficult for yourself and everyone around you?

ARGH.

On a much happier note, I was just tipped me off that Pairing: Pendragon/Merlin -- which, again, did not write*, just love, because parts of it are like reading a fanfic about my own life -- has been turned into a podfic and ebook. I'm kind of super excited to see how they audiobooked that particular style of story.

* I do happen to be aware of who did write it, and I know said person is tickled pink by all this...

Speaking of ebooks, Sam, are any of your fics available in ebook form? Or on AO3 or somewhere similar that offers ebook download options?

I think one or two of them have been converted at some point, but I honestly wouldn't know which ones. Unfortunately the short answer is: no. :D Sorry. It's not that I have anything against them, I just don't have the means to do it and I'm not that interested in putting my fic up on any more archives.

Maybe...?

I haven't got ebooks, but I HAVE used Safari in "Reader" mode to print many of Sam's fics to PDF. It's not great, but I've put all of the White Collar fic and Stealing Harry on my ipad.

So, there are page breaks, but otherwise it's clean digital text (with none of the LJ/DW comments, etc). Would that be useful to you? I could probably upload them somewhere. Or if you have access to safari and a mac, it's a pretty easy process, if tedious.

Wow! That's so kind of you, and yes, I'd love to take you up on the offer of uploading them. I've never read Stealing Harry, but I'd like to! Much obliged to you.

I just got busy with this project a couple weeks back for my ipad, and I can't resist sharing things! I completely understand the need to read Sam's stuff on the go. I was just re-reading Exquisite in the woods of New Hampshire last weekend.


So which stories would you specifically like? All of White Collar, or just Stealing Harry? Or anything else? (I've got bunches of stuff).

What's the best way to get it to you? I use dropbox; I know it's really easy to share a folder there if you're on it as well. Otherwise, I'll figure out megaupload, or yousendit. Or I could email it; I'm on a mac, I don't think I have any viruses. Up to you.

Okay, let me know if this doesn't work. I've put these items in my public dropbox folder, so you should be able to download the links. Since I can't make folders public, I've got three different ZIP files. One is Stealing Harry (ch. 1-28) plus a few of the bridging stories that go between that and Laocoon's Children (which I haven't turned into PDFs yet). Second is White Collar: Exquisite ch. 1-20. The third file is all of the other White Collar stories Sam wrote as of May 2011.

Stealing Harry: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/14220755/Stealing%20Harry%20plus%20some%20other%20related%20stories.zip

Exquisite: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/14220755/White%20Collar%20-%20Exquisite%20Ch%201-20.zip

White Collar general: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/14220755/White%20Collar%2C%20all%20other%20stories%20May%202011.zip


Let me know if that doesn't work!

Gosh! Perfect! I've just recently got a Kindle myself, which is why I was on the hunt for ebook versions. If you wouldn't mind uploading (to megaupload maybe?) or emailing me at ravurian AT gmail DOT com, I'd be sincerely obliged. Many thanks.

Or, hey, if this offer is still open, is there another way to transfer stuff that would be easier for you?

Oh! You're a marvel, and I'm really grateful. Many, many thanks! (And Helen's stuff is always welcome, too, LOL; you're clearly a lady of discernment and taste). Thanks for taking the time to sort this out for me. Much obliged to you.
