holy ship! also wincon. also also i have a story bunny but there's no plot.
tonight i was in the cvs down the street from me looking at the cards, and there was a birthday card with a drawing of a 15th century ship (like one of columbus' ships) with a halo over it on the front, and on the inside it said "HOLY SHIP it's your birthday", and i have no idea why the HOLY SHIP cracked me up, but it did, and i snortgiggled in the store. HOLY SHIP! you know, because it has a halo. i don't know, i thought it was funny.
the wincon schedule is live and the non-superhero comics panel is on sunday, which makes me glad i don't have to go home until monday. i realllly want whoever is running that panel to ask for co-panelists, so i can volunteer. and this year there are a couple panels i kind of want to go to (there's a pannibal hannibal panel) (and a designated nap time!), which is a switch. i think i went to one panel last year and that's because i was on it. and in new orleans i didn't go to any. sometimes i'm a very bad winconner. also i should perhaps buy my plane ticket already. ahem.
i know i mentioned i had the vaguest idea ever for a story about a friar who has a crisis of faith and the heretic who causes it, but did i mention the lady pirates? because i'm pretty sure this year's nanonovel is going to be about lady pirates. historical fantasy rather than strictly historical, tho, because i don't have the patience to do all the research and this way i can just make a lot of shit up. :D beadslut made the mistake of telling me that she really likes the story babble part of writing, so babbled all over her about both. and then! sunday night (technically monday morning), while i was trying to smut, i decided what i really wanted to write was a comparatively simple, sweet contemporary romance - boy meets boy, boy gets to know boy, boy falls in love with boy. nothing particularly special, just cute and sweet. today i spent some quality time wondering if i could make one of the boys mostly asexual, and how do you write a romance between a sexual person and an asexual person? i mean, i know it can be done - for all i know it has been done - i was just wondering how i'd do it. when i finally get around to writing an actual story rather than a lot of backstory and random babble, who knows what it will be. could be holy men, could be pirates, could be modern-day boys with curly hair.
have a pair of gummy stormtroopers. (ie, gummy bears with helmets.)
