Fairly quiet month for me. August should see more stuff actually getting finished. (It better, so I can sign up for the
sshg_exchange and Snupin Santa!) Though I did drabble a bit yesterday. Surprised the heck out of myself. Apparently I needed to drabble a bit and then do a bit of research for two of the fics I need to finish before the 14th rather than work on either of those fics. Tomorrow, though, I must get a bit of writing done on them.
Fic Wrap-Up
- Chapter 21 of TKWIA. (HP/BtVS, NC17, Snape/OFC)
- Almost a New Friend (HP/BtVS, G, Giles/Snape)
- Taking Advantage (HP, G, Snape/Lupin)
- Whose Revenge? Part 1 and Part 2. (HP, G, Snape/Hermione) I'd hoped to wrap it up today with a third installment in which Hermione rips Severus a new one, but apparently that's not happening. Yet.
Misc Shinies from OWL, SotHA, and Still_Grrr
I think I've already posted these. They're definitely up in my profile. But I can't help myself. They're pretty. *g*
Is This Weird? was
nominated for Best Oz Fic in Round 5 of the Serenity on the Hellmouth Awards.
Goals for August
This section is made weirdly vague by the fact that half the things on the docket are some degree or other of Sooper Seekrit Projects.
- Bit of non-fic writing soonish.
- Three more fics need finishing by August 14th so's I can sign up for the sshg_exchange.
- Another chapter of either TKWIA or Turbulence (better still, both) at least off to be beta'ed by the 22nd so's I can sign up for Snupin Santa. They're both started. This should be very doable, considering tutoring will slow waaaaay down after this week and finish for the summer on the 15th. You'd think it'd be doable anyway.
- One other fic by the end of the month.
In other news, half my workday today was spent renewing my CPR certification. About halfway through, a song got going in my head. I'd heard it on the radio yesterday, which is, I imagine part of the problem. But ... "Kick Start My Heart"?? I spent almost the entire AED unit trying not to laugh out loud at the stupid song. Actually, no, it was worse than that. It started during the "unconscious choking" segment. I did almost start laughing. In trying to stop, I aspirated a bit of my tea and started coughing. Which, of course, got me a round of, "Keep coughing! Keep coughing!" from, you know, everybody.
And just from talking about it, the damned thing's stuck in my head again! Argh!
