State of the Fic - and the Mythology Meme
Been a tad busy lately, working on my reversathon fic. Ramblings and the Greek Mythology Personality Meme (gacked from all over) behind the cut...
Reversathon:
Current word count: 11,000+
Guesstimated final word count: 25,000
Due date: tomorrow.
Panic level: lemon
Really, it's in better shape than it sounds, because I have the whole thing in my usual "chunky outline" form, and I'm just plowing through, fleshing out scenes as I go. And I emailed the mod an update, so that's all copacetic. I hope to finish it up tonight, barring any unforeseen RL complications. *rg*
Meanwhile, a couple of notes to the pairing characters:
Dear Main Character #1 -
Yes, I know you haven't gotten laid in a long time. And I know I've been remiss in writing smut for you. This is no excuse for you to act like a slut! A modicum of restraint, if you don't mind? This is not "Debbie Does Dallas," you know!
Love,
Me

Dear Main Character #2 -
Will you *kindly* get your ass over here and shag Main Character #1 before something explodes?!? Sheesh! Enough with the exposition and cameo appearances. Shake your tail, boy!
Exasperatedly,
Me
Honestly! *sigh*
So, Who am I in Greek Mythology?
Your Score: Pan
66% Extroversion, 0% Intuition, 83% Emotiveness, 90% Perceptiveness
You are Pan. You're an extremely creative and fun-loving individual. You have a predisposition to acting and performing, and you enjoy it. You're very outgoing, and you are genuinely interested in other people. You probably have a pet parakeet, play an instrument, write poetry, tell jokes, love parties, have lots of friends, remember people, names and faces, paint, and have a righteous social conscious.
You're very good natured, but can be naive and exploited by less good natured people. You're mischevious, but in a usually harmless way. You don't have much use for structure and routine, and your appetite for sensation and immediate gratification can cloud your judgement regarding the future consequences of your actions. You like to improvise more than you like to plan.
You look on the bright side of life. Even though you're highly optimistic, you can be predisposed to bouts of angst when presented with negative possibilities or outcomes. In combating dire circumstances, you can become dismissive and resort to over-simplifications of the situation. Although most people love to be around you, the more analytical types (Atlas, The Oracle, Prometheus, and Hermes) will take issue with what they perceive to be your lack of foresight. The main drawback to this is that they will become rigid and stubborn in conflict, and you will take this personally, becoming stubborn and inflexible yourself.
Regardless, you have a capacity for connection with other people that is unheard of in the other personality types. Your main strenghts are your flexibility and artistic and sympathetic abilities.
Famous people like you: Franz Joseph Haydn, Dr. Suess, Bill Cosby, Sandra Bullock, Oscar Wilde
Similar Personality Types: Orpheus, Aphrodite, Dionysus
Stay clear of: Atlas, Hermes, Prometheus, The Oracle

Well, I suppose that's not too baaaaaaaaad... ;-)
I think I'm more intuitive than that, though; I wonder what questions tripped that up?
