Claims are open at [livejournal.com profile] rounds_of_kink. Go and make claims! Everyone loves claims! There are many many (mostly TV) fandoms.

I have already claimed twice: one thing that I wanted to write anyway and had no excuse to, other than the fact that I wanna; and another prompt that I sort of cringe to even read, but which I think I can pull off. This is why they call it a challenge.

And also I think I may be dropping [livejournal.com profile] thelittlebang. SHAME. WOE AND SHAME AND WOE.
sabinelagrande: (good will hunting - not about you)
1. [livejournal.com profile] coffeesuperhero, [livejournal.com profile] leiascully: I was planning to show up in your neck of the woods on Wednesday and leave Sundayish, if you folks are amenable to that plan?

2. Not sure, at this juncture, if I'm going to have to bail on [livejournal.com profile] thelittlebang. This is the same problem I encountered with [livejournal.com profile] house_bigbang this year- the deadlines fell right after I finished the semester. It was suicidal to work on them during finals, but if I leave it until afterwards, I'm so exhausted that all I want is to sit around and watch Stargate. I'm having the same problems with this story that I did with the one I intended for Big Bang, too. I keep planning out these intricate stories with, like, Themes and Messages and Angst and Actual Plots. I don't know why I keep thinking I can write like that, when the only story of substantial length in that style that I've ended up pulling off was Get Away, and I ended up hating that story. I don't know- I keep trying to write what I want to read, but it doesn't work. So instead I write a lot of porn and humor, which isn't very rewarding because it isn't hard at all.

Also, I feel like I'm losing my touch for writing House fic. House himself in particular, which is bad, because he's the POV character for like 5000 words of this story. And Cuddy- I don't have any clue whether Cuddy's in character anymore.

It's frustrating- but, I'm farther along than I was at this point with Big Bang, the word count is shorter, and they're letting people slide with 13000+ words for the final draft. I don't know; I'll give it a go again this afternoon, see if I can get another 2000 words or so done. Maybe if I lay down the frame story, it'll work better.

3. I don't really have another point; it's just that these entries seem too short without three points. Clearly, I need a coffee.

3a. Oh, right- last night at about 4AM I developed an elaborate scheme for how slash fans were just like the Tollan and het fans were just like the Tau'ri. I can't decide if it's brilliant or if it just seemed that way at 4AM.

(Multishippers are the Nox, obvs.)

I had a pretty bitchin day, actually. I got OMG SO MUCH writing done. I got about 600 words on one paper (which was, uh, all of it) and 700 on other (for me, in one day which is not the day before it is due, this is a lot- it equates to about five pages). I also banged out the first (I say the first, because it is the first I have written, though a lot of it is from the end) 500 words of my [livejournal.com profile] thelittlebang fic.

I also got some leisure reading done, although I'm not sure I'm going to finish the book (An Arsonist's Guide to Writer's Homes in New England) right now; it seems good, I just don't know if it's what I'm feeling right this second. It is less funny and more sad than was advertised. I may hang onto it until after my bioarch paper is done and give it another go then.

Huh. Apparently LibraryThing's new widget says there is a high probability I won't like it. Perhaps I will go and read a romance novel or something and come back to it. I may be too all over the place at the moment to read anything that prompts me to have thinky thoughts. Or maybe I'll just go read a whole lot of Daniel/Sam/Jack porn (it is the truest of the OT3s, and if you say otherwise I will strike you down. I'm like a Jaffa, only I serve Daniel/Sam/Jack).

...Okay, right, sorry, too much time in the library and too much SG-1. This is my last day of happiness; for that I am rather sad, paradoxically, because it has been good and happy and nice posting a happy thing every day.

PS: Crafty people: what should I cross-stitch next? I am making a wee snowman what I found in my sock drawer, but he is sort of boring and full of more half-stitches than one snowman can possibly need and soon to be finished. I thought about doing a chart of the stargate, but then I realized that I just really didn't want to do all that blue. ETA: Awww, but I might have to do a little Earth symbol, because it is sort of adorable and will take ten whole minutes. But this? This is a little too hardcore, even for me.

OH! Maybe I could chart the Atlantis mission logo. That might be sexcellent.

Good lord.

1. [livejournal.com profile] lavvyan, [livejournal.com profile] taste_is_sweet, [livejournal.com profile] seekergeek, [livejournal.com profile] elementalv, [livejournal.com profile] almostnever, and I have sort of accidentally on purpose created a monster. I mean, there are already over a hundred people following the comm, and I haven't even put the ad up on [livejournal.com profile] sga_noticeboard yet. Saints on a speedboat.

1a. I had every intention of finishing out Hate on Rodney Week, but then [livejournal.com profile] taste_is_sweet had to come along and make me feel really, really sorry for him. So now I kind of love Rodney again, which was really the whole point of the week to begin with.

I'm still totally a John girl, though.

2. Since I joined the dark side SGA fandom, I feel like I've spent a disproportionate amount of time wandering around in a daze going "WHERE DID ALL THESE PEOPLE COME FROM AND WHY DO THEY LIKE ME".

3. I have not started writing for [livejournal.com profile] thelittlebang, woe! But! I have a plan! And a title! And a truly ridiculous blurb!

4. First Nahuatl test in the morning AAAAAH. Time for sleep.
