 I feel bad, I have been neglecting - um, everything?

I picked up a few people at the YJ friending meme! I feel like I should introduce myself, but I am really super bad at introductions. Um. Hi, I'm Betsy, I'm working in New Zealand for a year before college, I like reading and writing and music and watching things and LADIES and superheroes (and

Ooo Nano! I would LOVE to write it this year but I kind of promised my parents I wouldn't in the interest of doing better with schoolwork, and so have decided to participate in the Narnia Big Bang. (Because that reasoning makes So Much Sense). You aren't doing Big Bang, are you?

[be_themoon]

Not doing Big Bang, no. I've never been able to write long fanfiction. Oh well! I wish you were doing NaNo, but I shall wish you good luck on the Big Bang! MORE NARNIA FICTION. Always a plus. At whatever point I start reading fanfic again I shall have plenty to read.

I'm so conflicted on NaNo. I don't really have a story idea to work with at all. And I don't want it to conflict with school work. Maybe I should give it a shot anyway, though? I mean, NaNo was so much fun, and I didn't do it last year...

I know! Last time I did it, I wrote a novel about vampires and lesbians and lesbian vampires! This year ZOMBIES. LESBIANS AND ZOMBIES EVERYWHERE! :D

[be_themoon]

I APPROVE OF THESE IDEAS. A LOT. LESBIANS IN LOVE (WITH SOME ZOMBIES TOO). GO GO GO. Make update posts and I shall try REALLY HARD to keep up with you during November. :D

[darkauthor26]

I SHALL DO THIS THEN. AND IT SHALL BE AMAZING. EVER SINCE I REALIZED HOW FLAMINGLY HOMOSEXUAL I AM, ROMANCE HAS GOTTEN SO MUCH EASIER TO WRITE. ALSO ZOMBIES ALWAYS KICK ASS.

AND I APPROVE OF YOUR IDEAS. LADY SUPERHEROS GO GO GO! :D

Just make sure you do update posts too, and I'll do my best to keep up with you! :D I vaguely recall that the last time I did this (I think it was '09), you shot way ahead of me in the beginning. So I'll probably be struggling to keep up with you! XD

WHEEEEE

*flaily hands everywhere* NANO IS THE BEST

I'm sorry this isn't more coherent I'm just having FEELINGS everywhere ALL OVER EVERYTHING

You forgot to mention your habit of crossing Susan over with ALL THE FANDOMS. Alsoooooo Meto is doing regenerating Lucy for her Narnia big bang and it struck me that maybe that would still work in England ~but wonkily~ and she would turn into like Jack Harkness. AND THEN I thought, well, Betsy's Susan does not age much in England. AND THEN I THOUGHT, that is the Last Battle AU I would love to read. ETERNALLY YOUTHFUL SUSAN AND HER KILL-ME-IT-WON'T-STICK SISTER LUCY, ADVENTURING. I bet they would join Torchwood.

[be_themoon]

loool you're right I did forget to mention that! OH WELL. I feel like a short review of my writing makes that pretty clear. "Oh, a crossover with Susan! ... another one! ... DOES SHE WRITE ANYTHING ELSE. oh look, a crossover with... Edmund. I see."

;aslkdhgd THIS IS THE BEST STORY IDEA EVER IF YOU DO NOT WRITE IT I MIGHT

who am I kidding I'll definitely write at least a little bit of it.

Susan is the one with all the contacts and discrete inquiries and quiet behind the scenes manipulation. Lucy bounces around taking bullets and "spying".

"Chasing someone down, getting shot to hell, and then hitting them until they tell you what you want to know is not spying," Susan hisses.

They have a lot of arguments along those lines.

[animus_wyrmis]

lakjalskdjasd I want this.

Susan tries to be circumspect about their past, tries not to point out too closely that they look under twenty-five even though they are old enough to be grandmothers.

"The Blitz was scary, definitely," Lucy is saying to Tosh. "Of course we were sent away later, once Father decided even he couldn't keep us at home anymore."

Then again, sometimes she is not sure why she bothers.

[be_themoon]

OH LUCY also Wyrm I just accidentally wrote Susan/Peggy Carter fic on Tumblr I AM BLAMING THIS ON YOU

Jack hits on her and Susan politely says no. Lucy is like "Oh well if you don't want him!" and Jack is for the first time in his life outmatched in a relationship for sheer aliveness.

Susan goes out with Tosh and Gwen for brightly colored drinks and girl talk. Unfortunately, most of her stories seem to end with, "And then I shot him," or some variant.

[katakokk]

NaNo! Oh, geez, your post about NaNo made me randomly start brainstorming, but I really CANNOT do NaNo this year, with college and swimming and newspaper, and alsdj;ldf life.

Anyways, TELL ME MORE ABOUT YOUR NANO. I AM INTRIGUED.

[be_themoon]

shhhh just do it anyways YOU CAN DO IT

it is about SUPERHEROES. more specifically it is about what makes a hero a hero. we've got our main character, who's a bit of a coward and really doesn't want these abilities she's been given, her best friend who has no abilities but is eager to help, and a mutant at their school who gets folded into their band and wants to do good with his abilities. and they're all heroes, just in very different ways. it is also about a girl who wants nothing more than to be left in peace and quiet and has to deal with suddenly having huge responsibilities and really incredible powers. SHE IS NOT PLEASED.

I guess the running theme is sort of - the measure of a person is not what they are capable of, but what they do with what they are capable of.

[katakokk]

AAAAAUGH I SO WANT TO. I WANT TO WRITE ABOUT MAGIC AND ROADTRIPS.

asld;jfk;dsf I love your idea, bb! ♥ Especially because of your main character. She sounds very, very interesting, and her friend sounds very, very hilarious. <333

This theme. <3333

[be_themoon]

a;sdhgd I did that - last year? the year before? MAGIC AND ROADTRIPS make the best stories oh maaaan.

:DDD thank you!

[inkyperspective]

Yeah, I've been neglecting LJ, too. Apparently it's a thing lately. :)

I'm so jealous! I signed up to do NaNo this year, but between swim team, work, school, and applying for college... November kinda sucks. I figure I'll still TRY, but, yeah, it's not looking too good. :/ But what's yours about? (Or, the better question, how's it coming so far?) I'm assuming it's not your first year, so any tips on how to proceed? (If not this year, then the next?)

You definitely have to catch up on Criminal Minds -- it's been pretty awesome (and mega sad to boot)lately! And I am SO pumped for YJ tonight. Last week was seriously awful; it was like a big fat reminder of the awful hiatus. *shudders* I'm just depressed I'll have to watch it later tonight, but, hey, beggers can't be choosers. :)

Good luck on NaNo!
