I am still having the worst time imaginable writing my friendathon fic. The deadline? Is in two weeks. And I will be in LA stalking Neil Gaiman at Book Expo the weekend just prior to said due date. So this has pretty much got to happen this week, sometime. And yet, nothing. I write a few hundred words, decide I hate every single one of them, delete ( Read more... )

(You get a whole plate of virtual cookies if you recognize the subject line without having to google it.)

So today was largely made of fail. The morning's mail log pile was enormous, the phone would not stop ringing all day, I was incredibly drowsy all afternoon, my skirt was too tight due to the fact that I just spent the last three or four weeks ( Read more... )

1. Rec me some solid Jack-and-Teal'c episodes of SG-1. I'm trying to get my head back in SG-1's space, but my recent all-consuming obsession with Supernatural is working against me. I have a few hours to burn Friday, and plan to spend them marathoning some SG-1 to try and make Sam and Dean shut up for a bit and get Jack and Teal'c talking again. ( Read more... )

It probably says something about my propensity toward writing pointless, silly fic with no real plot that people on FF.n keep adding my ficlets to their "story alert" lists even though every single one is clearly labeled as "complete." That's "complete" as in "this is all I've got." I suspect that they look at the complete status and scoff, ( Read more... )

1. Spent the weekend writing. Not writing my friendathon fic, oh no, that would make far too much sense. I was writing a completely unbidden and uncalled-for Supernatural/Time Traveler's Wife crossover that would not leave me alone long enough to let me get anything else done. *headdesk ( Read more... )

Note to self:

When contemplating plots and premises for potential Supernatural fic, it might be a good idea to look up the mythology and go from there, as opposed to coming up with a plot and then trying to find some tidbit of folklore that fits into it ( Read more... )

Reason for woe:

I am catching another cold. Another one! Justice is dead. There have been a lot of folks both at home and at the office catching the flu twice this season (apparently there's more than one extra-bad strain going around this year) and thus far I had held out hope that I would not be one of them. So much for that. I skipped choir ( Read more... )

ME: Okay, guys, tomorrow is Gen Fic Day, and I think I'd like to do something angsty and slightly dark with the team being sold into slavery and arena combat. I'm thinking Season Five, or maybe Season Seven. Your thoughts ( Read more... )

So aurora_novarum brought it to my attention that I use "and then" a lot in my writing, and I decided I'd do a little find-and-replace operation to see what I could do about breaking that up a bit and...holy goldfish crackers, I really do use "and then" a lot! As in constantly! Dude! I've never noticed this in my own writing before, but now that I've had it ( Read more... )

So, as you may know if you saw the incoherent post of joyous fic-completion that I wrote sometime between midnight and one this morning, I am done with my Finish-a-thon fanfic. Victory is sweet.

( Now if I could just get SG-1 (and everyone else) to leave me alone for a bit. )
