Fannish dream: yesterday night I dreamed that Stephen Fry was visiting my grandma and me (my grandma's been dead for a decade, but there we were, back in our old house), and we were... having tea. Which is not a British cliché in that case, we drink tea a lot here as well. Anyway, he was very nice and pleasant company, and I woke up in a really good mood. Huh.
Figures, I dream about 'Bones' for once and it's a perfectly G-rated, gen dream. :P
***I've been having a productive week, work-wise, even though I was goofing off plenty. The book I'm working on has so far been taking only about half the time I calculated (which is good because I lost a lot of time when I was sick with the evil virus). And the thing is, I look at the drawings and... they're good. I mean, I think those are some of the best illus I've done. And I think I owe it largely to the fan comics. Because doing those has freed me to try new techniques, time-saving techniques at that. Get a more confident line. At the end of the day, even if drawing those fan comics may take dozens or hundreds of hours, you end up with more time, ironically. And those that say that fanfic is a waste of time are completely and utterly clueless.
***I went through the Betterbuffyfics yahoo message archives and picked out all my recs over the years, because I want them archived in one place. Easier than to search every time I want to rec an old fic to someone. And maybe some of you would like to read some older recs. There're something over a hundred recs altogether. I'll post them separately... people who come for recs don't need to hear about my weird dreams about Stephen Fry. *g*
Happy Easter to all of you who're celebrating!
