Security clearance updated and Redemption programme
Knit night is just the best night of the week. I love my knitting group :-)
I think that I've figured out which forms I need for my police record (or at least, the Met Police figured it out and I'm trusting them) so I just need to fill out the form and photocopy some ID. It will be fast for me to take things with me to post from England than to post from here so this is the plan. My fingerprints were done today and hopefully I shall soon be cleared by the government to work on all that data....that I've been working on for the last three months. Heh.
The Redemption programme is up for the general public! Go and take a look! Be jealous!

This is going to be such a fun convention :-) I'm so excited. There are loads of things that I want to do, but I'm trying not to set my heart on anything until I've got my stewarding assignment. I do already know that one of my panels solves a debate about what I want to do. I was tempted towards the speed dating session (where better to meet the girl of my dreams?) but it's at the same time as Paul Cornell's talk so, unless I'm stewarding then, I know which option I'll be going for :-) Oddly, this year, the slash panels aren't the ones that really attract me. I'm definitely going to all the writing panels and workshops that I can, the book panels are definites, but I'm not so interested in the slash panels anymore.
Am I getting old?
I've been looking at the dates for tardis_bigbang and I'm thinking that it's very unlikely that I'll be doing the femslash challenge this year. Unless it's part of a challenge, the stuff I've been writing has all been gen and that seems to be where my writing is going. I'm not sure what that means for my original writing. When Big Bang is over, I'm dusting off Sensible Man and re-reading it from the beginning. I refuse to let myself start over (that's how things end up half-finished, after all) but I need to see where it's going and whether part of the reason that I stalled is because the relationship doesn't work as the text. I suspect that it's better left in the subtext and, if I do that, I'll be better able to focus on the important parts.
I went through the Journey's End fix-it fic with a pen last night and I should have the edits done tomorrow, so I can send it off for beta. I'll try to remember to take my website log-ons with me while I'm gone so that I can post it if it's finished. I also went through the bits of Donna the Time Lord and the notes and was pleasantly surprised by it. The first couple of pages (background stuff that I wrote to get it done and will need re-writing and inserting into the correct points in the fic) isn't my best writing ever, but I like what I had so far of the actual story so now I just need to pick it up and put the other 95% of the story in. Easy, right?
What's my first deadline again?
