Let's break out the champagne bottles -- I have a title!
Okay, so I'm involved in the cm_bigbang , and so I've spent the last few months writing the behemoth Steampunk AU Crossover of Doom (and that's how I would refer to it). But it had no title. I just couldn't come up with one.
So, since I'm supposed to post on August third (though I've already created the fic's posting comm, stmpnkprofilers ), I figured it was going to be kind of necessary to find an actual title for the thing. I couldn't find any song lyrics that would work, so I turned to the late, great Walt Whitman and his "Song of Myself" for some words.
I found them.
The title of my CM Big Bang is going to be:
The Distant and Dead
And so, I now have a title, the first draft of the fic is done, I have two weeks till the posting date -- let's break out the good stuff and get down to partying!
PS: I might wind up with multiple fics for my angelic_bigbang , because I have two plots that are both insistant upon being written. One's rather biblical in nature, and the other's way more sci-fi. I think I like the biblical one better, though. It might even be possible for me to have "Judas" by Lady Gaga on the mix, if I do that one right.
PPS: Congrats to Japan's women's soccer team!
PPPS: I also just saw the first X-Men movie, and I've concluded that Professor X and Magneto totally boned. Totally. I also am sure that the movie continuity totally can be read as an allegory to the struggle for gay rights. IN SHORT: There's more subtext between Charles and Erik than you can shake a stick at. Also, kind of shipping Cyclops/Wolverine. "You're a dick." "All right." It's just too snarky and awesome.
