Hairdye project sad failure. Hair still brown, with maybe vaguely purple tinge if you're looking for it.

Possibly should have invested in bleach. Woe. Perhaps may try again?

Meanwhile, though, just checked gmail and got big old batch of Yuletide feedback since last night. (Clearly the solution to Yuletide feedback woe problems? Write SO MANY STORIES that law of averages demands that at least one of them is readable.)

Though I'm terribly fond of most all of my stories, I think I'm gladdest about the feedback my actual, originally assigned story is getting. For various reasons that will be obvious upon reveal, its readership is not large, but my recipient liked it and so have a few other people, and I feel prouder for having [redacted]. Sigh, much as I'm enjoying the frenzy of feedback and recs posts, I'm looking forward to reveal so that I can actually talk about the ten fics and what they say about me.

3 ships is due tomorrow. Um. I know what I'll be doing tonight? (Reabsorbing source and trying, as always, to come up with a plot that is not simply, "And then they had incredibly hot, fantastic sex.")

&hearts Sometimes you have to experiment with hair dye. If your hair is darker, you'll definitely want to bleach before putting in a color like purple. A lot of bleach kits will tell you to wait 24 hours between bleaching and coloring. Also, with the crazy colors, you might need to re-dye once more to get it to set.

Good luck getting your fics done!! &hearts

Ah, if you want a dye that shows up well without bleach, go hunting for a bottle of Special Effects Deep Purple. In my rather dark hair, it showed up as a dark, dark purple and then gradually lightened into other fantastic shades. Be prepared for everything that touches your hair to also turn purple, though. Washing my hair was a nightmare.

Yeah, if your hair's anything darker than blonde, you'll need bleach. Possibly lots of beach, depending how dark a brown your hair is and whether you've done this before. (Hair that hasn't been bleached takes a bit more bleaching.)
