1. One job application. I don't really care about this one, but I have to do three job-search activities per week for my unemployment insurance, even if I have no real intention of following up on them. And, you know, if this company happens to take me up on my offer, it wouldn't be the end of the world or anything. *shrug*

2. Edited somebody else ( Read more... )

Stuff done so far today:

1. Started a batch of veggie sidedish, which should be done around 10pm. I also hardboiled some eggs.

2. Volunteered for the church recycling sale. I am a little unclear what I will actually be doing, as the response got mangled by the coordinator's iPhone autocorrect -- it says, and I quote, "How about Saturday and ( Read more... )

Today is Ladystuck Remix reveal day! I wrote two fics: my assignment and a pinch hit. I will talk about each in a separate post.

I have been slowly commenting my way through the Ladystuck Remix archive. As has become my habit with small single-fandom exchanges, I am reading in reverse word count order, which means I start with art and end with fics that aspire to the short end of Big Bang status. I still have twenty-eight stories to go (plus the three Treat works), and as ( Read more... )

The Ladystuck Remix collection is open! Sixty-two remixed female-centric Homestuck fanworks, plus two more in the Treats collection.

And what did I get, you may ask? I got this:

I have finished the edits for one of my Ladystuck Remix fics. I also wanted to do a cool thing with Unicode, but apparently AO3 doesn't support what I was trying to kludge it into doing. *sigh* I went with my backup option instead -- it serves the same purpose, but it's not nearly as aesthetically pleasing ( Read more... )

Ha! I successfully finished and posted my Ladystuck Remix pinch hit.

It is drastically tangential to the original in a lot of ways, though it mirrors one particular aspect with perfect rigidity. I also want to revise it a bunch, though not as much as I want to revise my assigned remix -- in both cases, because I think the stories are thematically ( Read more... )

Writing stuff:

1. I grabbed a Ladystuck Remix pinch hit. This was possibly a bad idea, but I very much want to play with some of the writer in question's stories, so. We shall see how it goes. :)

2. I just received my Narnia Fic Exchange assignment, whereupon I cracked up and startled the dog, because my recipient reflected several of my own ( Read more... )

I got my dates mixed up somehow and thought the Ladystuck Remix posting deadline was the 24th instead of the 25th. Oh well, that just means I have an extra day of editing time, and that never hurt anyone.

The posted version is kind of, um. Well, dire is too strong a word. It's serviceable. But it's awfully clunky and I think about half my point ( Read more... )
