If the Apocalypse comes, beep me.
I am so, so glad that the main awards season is finally over. I worked a full day Sunday night... at home thankfully, since my usual train line wasn't running all weekend and I ended up being sick (literally) through all 7 hours of working. It was not a fun time at all for any of us at work and I think we're all just very relieved that it's over. (Though alas for me, red carpet is a year-round franchise now so I've got more awards show work to deal with end of this month/early April.)
Now that that's done, I can try to get back to a more regular schedule of normalcy and reading/writing.
I've been reading Treasure Island and am halfway through the book. A guy saw me reading it on the train one day and asked how it was; I was only a few chapters in at the time but it was not as boring as I thought it could be. So I've got pirates and buried treasure on the brain for a bit which leads to stray thoughts on finishing The Pirate Queen. Really, there's only about 2-3 chapters to go, I think, and I should just complete it (and hopefully remember how I wanted it to end) before moving back to my main fic.
As for that main fic, I've been looking it over as well, continually making more edits to the previous chapters. That is nearly done too which means I can finally continue forward on that project sometime soon (in which "soon" is a relative term).
Yesterday I was browsing on the AO3 and was inevitably sucked in by this Doctor Who fic, Epistolary: The 50 Years Before We Were Born. It's Amy and Rory living their lives out in (currently 1940s) New York and you see events and reunions through records - from diaries and letters. I love how we see glimpses of the War going on around them as well as how to move on living in the past and knowing what's to come, good or bad. So that was my distraction last night.
Today, it's a new distraction and a different fandom. Oh yes, Sarah Michelle Gellar did an AMA on Reddit recently and all my Buffy feels have resurfaced as I read the Q&A. (I am also slightly pleased that she shipped Buffy/Angel all the way - I liked her chemistry with Spike but my heart was always for her first true vampire love.) Ahhh, first fandom, I've missed thee!
So tonight, my head is lurking in Sunnydale (or what's left of it) and I've been catching up on Season 9 through the Buffy wiki. Reading the summaries make me wish some of these arcs were filmed because they would've been awesome. And reading up about Giles, his great-aunts and family history makes me yearn for a glimpse of the Ripper series that might have been.
... I really think I should go make myself a Buffy icon now.
