My real name in lights! (Or at least cathode rays.)

[thewhitelily]

I'm faaaaaamous!

Now, if only the words for my story were coming as easily as the plot.

Woo woo!! Can I post this link on my LJ?

[thewhitelily]

'Tis definitely very exciting. :D And sure, go for it!

[lustforlike.livejournal.com]

Awesome! Plus, now that you've written about someone writing about your writing, you're one step closer to an infinitely recursive universe!

[thewhitelily]

:D I hadn't thought of that advantage! Still, there's a fair way to go yet, I'm sure...

[lustforlike.livejournal.com]

An infinite way still to go, unfortunately, unless you can figure out a way to create a self-sustaining loop. I've always wanted to see the universe run out of stack space. :D

[linwenilid.livejournal.com]

Whee! Great, congrats! *is slightly envious, but happy for you, anyway*

'Ms Hunter'? 'Ms'? Weren't you married, or did I miss something?

[thewhitelily]

Thanks! 'Tis definitely very exciting. :)

Yeah, he knew I was married, but didn't ask my preferred title. I guess he played it safe.

Whoa, that's kinda weird seeing a netfriend in the news. O.O Dunno if that's a congrats?

[thewhitelily]

Certainly is - although I imagine it would be pretty weird. :) Thanks!

Squee! You're a star, Lily! A Cepheid variable star, at that!

*waves a flag with your celebrity face on it* Keep those word counts pumping, dear!

@lustforlike: I've always wanted to see the universe run out of stack space.
Heh. That's the kind of thing I'd only want to see from a distance. Like a train wreck or a volcanic eruption. =P

[lustforlike.livejournal.com]

If you're in a position to view the universe from a distance you probably don't have to worry much about a mere stack overflow. There's always the possibility that the universe is written in lisp and so does not have a stack, too.

[thewhitelily]

Ah, lazy evaluation saves the day. But I thought they hacked most of it together using Perl?

[lustforlike.livejournal.com]

Totally the comic I was thinking of! :) Although, I think that explains most of the problems in the world today.

[thewhitelily]

:D The lazy evaluation, or using regular expressions to define the course of the future?

[lustforlike.livejournal.com]

The regular expressions - they always seem like a good idea to begin with, and it's only when you're halfway through trying to write a regular expression to replace the period halfway through your novel with a comma that you realise the delete key might have been a more effective solution.

[thewhitelily]

Except that you can count that regular expression in your NaNoWriMo word count, whereas the Delete Key Is Always Bad. *nods*

[lustforlike.livejournal.com]

...

*runs off to add a regular expression to his novel*

[thewhitelily]

Thank you, thank you! *image takes a bow from the celebrity face flag* And I certainly shall.

*grin* I agree, the universe running out of stack space would be a tale to tell - if you could watch it and manage to be around to tell that tale.

Ooh, congrats! One more step towards becoming a brilliant, famous published author. :P

BTW, is that you in the picture? Because that doesn't look anything like how I imagine you.

[thewhitelily]

That's me! Brilliant (tick), famous (tick)... still working on the published. :)

Indeed it is. If I may ask, what were you expecting? :P

[anordir.livejournal.com]

Hmm. That your hair would be a lighter colour, I think, and that your limbs would be longer. And I didn't know you wore glasses.

Actually, I tend to imagine netfriends as their avatars, so my mental picture of you is, er, a lily. :P

[stephie-wheps.livejournal.com]

Yay! I know someone famous and she's part of my family too! Congrats Lily! *grins* And Guess what? I finally passed 10k yesterday! I'm only 8000 words behind now!

[thewhitelily]

Thanks, Steph! *dispenses famous hugs to family*

And hurrah for 10K - now get moving! Keep going! Write, write, write! *whipcracks*

[thesurvivalist.livejournal.com]

Miss Lily, what will we do with you now that you're a STAR?

♥ Congrats.

[thewhitelily]

Bask in the light from my shining famous face? :P

Thanks!
