Minor Panic Time (Again)
I've upset my sleeping schedule. Not just by a few hours; no, when I do these things, I do them properly. I've been going to sleep from 5:30-ish to 7:00-ish. Not PM, AM. I've been sleeping until 2-3 in the afternoon.
It's not like I have school right now, so this isn't much of a problem, except--
Except I work best in an empty house, and the house is empty from about 7:30-5:00. I've been sleeping away my best writing hours (it has been a weekend, though, so it didn't matte these past two days). I've got less than 48 hours to finish my sn_e. Fuck.
sn_e
I intentionally used the abbreviation. Remember one of my earlier rants about how it looked like an emoticon? Yeah. That's about how I'm feeling right now.
Less than 48 hours. I'm going to spend about 30-45 minutes panicking all over my El Jay, and then I'm going to run to Google Docs and speed-type this fucker up. I'm hoping in the process I'll jar something loose and manage to come up with an ending.
Even if I don't jar something loose, I'll still have ~3.5k typed, which is better than having it hand-written because then I can cave and pester someone on my f-list to check it and bounce ideas. (If worst comes to worst, that is.) Plus! I'll have ~3.5k typed, which just sounds more impressive. Hand-written could mean... anything. :/ I could totally be lying about my wordcount and you guys wouldn't be able to prove anything. I don't have a scanner or a camera to even get a blurry picture of my pages to prove I've done anything.
As for the actual fic... I've written exactly (...counting) 32 words today. Fuck. The rest of the ~3.5k was written yesterday. Yesterday was an excellent day. Today... my pencil's being a real bitch.
The "sn" part of sn_e is giving me the most trouble. I mean. I love writing these boys! WHY ARE THEY BEING SUCH ASSHOLES? Haven't I been kind to them? I've had them married! Get happily-ever-afters! Drunken make-outs! It never ends in angst. WHAT THE HELL.
Le sigh. I suppose I'll be back tomorrow, either drenching my journal in celebratory confetti and sparkles or sobbing as I watch the deadline creep in.
Super Sekrit Projekt
I haven't worked on this like I planned. I probably won't get to it in the next 24 hours unless I just REALLY can't be bothered to work on my sn_e (LOOOOOOL, NOT GONNA HAPPEN) so I think I may have to cave and call the deadline fucked. I'll work between the self-set deadline and the point when I turn in my sn_e, though, for sure. (And then I'll proceed to panic excessively about the Big Bang projects! 8D)
Jounin Big Bang (with sirona)
I usually put the solo one first, but the one with sirona makes me giggle and coo and think of Gaiman and Pratchett's ~*masterpiece*~ Good Omens. I'm not sure we've reached that level of perfection (it's hard to reach that level of perfection) but goddamn I'm liking where this has gone so far.
...I'm still not writing huge chunks of awesome, but I mean, the fact I don't want to sob every time I think about it puts it miles ahead of the other projects on this list.
Jounin Big Bang (solo)
/Sob.
You know, when I finally get back to working on this in a few days, I think I'll really be ready for some serious re-vamping of the whole goddamned thing.
Until that time comes, I'll just be... over here. Crying myself to sleep.
Shipping meme Day 09 - The most believable relationship?
Given established personalities, I believe all of my ships--that's why I ship them. But. Some of them are like, the kind of thing you just... you don't see that kind of dedication IRL. That's why I ship them.
Depending on who writes it, I may believe a ship more or less. Some days I find Gaara/Naruto more believable than Sasuke/Naruto, but I still like SasuNaru better.
Going for the most realistic ship I can think of written in canon with people who are pretty normal, not Determinators, Shounen Heroes, or other people of divine will, and fullmetal hearts--
Dr. Cox/Jordan. Or J.D./Cox. I'm good with both. J.D./Elliot, I didn't like because it felt too real. They were too-- and there were some parts where it wasn't believable for me.
Sam/Dean is close behind. I think it's tied with SasuNaru for believability--maybe a little ahead. Sam and Dean have a close, inimitable bond forged by having no one but each other for most of their--not just formative years, but their whole lives. They're often compared to soldiers--especially Dean, Daddy's little soldier, and the kind of bond formed from risking your lives for each other--on top of being everything in the world to each other, on top of being Sam and Dean.
Sasuke and Naruto have a similar thing--brotherly affection, risking their lives for each other in mortal combat, fighting and understanding each other in a way only men who set their lives on the line against one another on a battlefield can--
And then there's Gon/Killua. My favorite thing about Hunter x Hunter is that even if they're... not normal boys, and even if they're omgstrong, and Gon's a headstrong shounen hero, they're still such boys. Especially Killua. When Gon says something sweet about how they should totally be together ~*forever*~ Killua blushes, tells him he's being embarrassing, and then says yeah, okay, we'll totally be together ~*forever*~.
Hm. Even if the characters are a little unbelievable in some of my favorite series, and the situations even moreso, the relationships really aren't so much unbelievable, I think.
ETA for hot building-on-squid action. I was just innocently browsing my f-list, when someone linked that over at a_mae_zing's el jay, okay? I wasn't even slacking off! It was still withing my allotted 30-45 minutes of El Jay time. ...Probably. I'm not really keeping track.
