Yesterday was not as awesome as I'd hoped it would be, mostly because a few hours into the game I ended up going home sick. I just wasn't feeling well and felt really, really out of it and zonked and not good, so Morgan drove me home and I slept for a while. Apparently the game was totally awesome, enough that we're trying to squeeze in one more session before we lose Strahd, so I'm bummed I missed so much of it but I just wasn't feeling up to it.
I did have fun for the bits I was around for, though. And Morgan called me at one point to find out what my bard would do in a situation--she'd been propositioned by centaurs who had captured two members of the party. I elected NOT to have my bard agree to an assignation with the centaurs, because a) she's a bard, not a whore and b) centaurs are half horse and fuck no. (They ended up accepting gems instead.)
(This is the problem with playing a female character with CHA 18.)
Dog question: What's the best way to dispose of a "dead" bone? The graveyard in our family room is getting out of control, and I'd like to toss some of the bones to make room for new ones, but we don't compost and we weren't sure if just throwing them out is cool. In the meantime I'll probably leave one or two out and put the rest in a box (one Buddy can access). I mean, he does keep chewing on bones even after the marrow and whatever else is gone, but still, I don't think he needs a dozen to choose from.
Writing blather: I'm about 3/4 done with the next chapter of WC, which is cool, although I didn't get to the point I thought I would. I got delayed by people being talky. Oh well, next chapter it is. On a comparison level, I've now been writing this story longer than the span of time it took me to write FF, and the posted arc of WC is longer than the complete posted length of FF. And to think I once called WC the "less-epic fic".
I'm still hoping to finish before I hit 500,000 words, but I'm not sure. I think that's doable.
I've gotten a lot of kudos on the story in the last week or two, which is great, but 97% of them were from guests. Like there were a couple mornings I woke up to "7 guests left kudos on Wild Card". Which has me a little paranoid that it's the same person who somehow managed to leave kudos seven times. I can't figure out why that would be so, or whether it's possible, but I'm a little dubious seven random anonymous people found it all in the same day. But who the hell knows, right?
Ugh. Why is it not 6:30 yet?
