Victory with Exchange Fic!
I'm celebrating because my exchange fic is essentially done! Woo-hoo! Of course, I'm still lacking a title, because titles are hard. But otherwise, I'm feeling darn successful. That means I didn't do anything for pornbattle today (and also that, since I didn't do real life stuff, either, I must do that tomorrow), but it's still nice to almost check something off the to-do list.
What else? Oh, I wanted to post my icons for the stock photo icon challenge at twelvecolonies . They didn't place, but I had fun making them. I'd never done icons before. I'm not particularly in love with the creating part of the art form, because they're so tiny, and I still don't know how to use a freaking layer, nor do I have time to figure it out right now. So, mine were simple, and 50s-themed (this has all happened before, and it will all happen again, you know):
And Bonus...
The thing that surprised me most about the challenge was how many of us went for the same quotes. Like there were two "The Back Door is Open" icons! Who would've thunk it? I think mine was the only "hit a cripple" icon, though.
Not much in other news. I'm still slowly chipping away at the alphabet meme--it's kind of nice to have lots of little ficlet opportunities on the back-burner. Though there's pornbattle, too, for that. I think my problem might be that I keep coming up with long bunnies for pornbattle, but I'd really rather write something short and sweet, as a reward in between my real life/work stuff I have to do tomorrow. Oh well. Hopefully things will work out.
And to those of you headed north to Vancouver for a holiday, have fun and report back with lots of good stories!!
