Good things! Productivity!
Lately life has been made of ass so I'm making this list of awesomeness to cheer myself up. Then I'll attempt to write another post because comments in my inbox are also awesome, but people don't really comment on list entries. Using the David and Keith icon because man, I miss them!
- I finished my Yuletide fic! Two of my three betas have gone through it and I'm just pleased that the story works. Key to getting character voices right: put the canon on repeat play in the background. I am sitting on my hands until the 1 Jan reveal, you don't even KNOW.
- I keep forgetting that I'm getting fic for Yuletide too, so: BONUS! My secret hope is that they signed up for whatever but were so taken by the X the Owl/Henrietta Pussycat request that they're writing that. The numbers favor my getting either HIMYM or Leslie from Anne's House O'Dreams, and either would be so awesome I can't even deal. And if I actually get Bailey and Johnny from WKRP I think I'll pass dead out from happiness.
- I also am finished with another story that I've been working on in semi-secret. Gosh, I've been writing in darkness lately, yeah? Anyway a couple of people have read it and seem to like it, so I think I'll post it as a Christmas present. Anyone have any ideas where a girl can post Idol het?
- And yet another secret story: Where the Love Light Gleams, my submission for a_pumpkin_xmas, a Harry/Hermione Christmas fic-and-art fest. I'll pimp the fest more properly later, but wow, now I suddenly feel really productive!
- I had a coupon for $11 CDs at Borders Books so I saved $24 yesterday! And one of the CDs I was going to buy with the deal was already discounted to $10 so I got four CDs rather than three: Kenna, Blake Lewis, Tori Amos, Suzanne Vega. I realized the other day that I only bought three CDs all year that weren't like, the world/chill/acid jazz music I like to write/read to: Maroon 5, Crowded House, and The Shins. So there you go, the seven pop/rock records I bought in 2007. Well now I feel old!
- While I was walking from school to Borders yesterday I was thinking about Boy George, you know, like ya do, and I thought: I cannot wait for the Blake Lewis Behind the Music. For reals.
