Another week, another 10,000 words -- which now is officially my goal word count for the week, since that is what seems to be achievable despite constant interruptions at work (they're my breaks, damn it, but a lot of the time something gets in the way) and distractions at home (what, I have to make food if I want to get fed?  fuck that ( Read more... )

It's February 3, and I have written the first 2,500 words of LM#15.

That is all.

No, that is not all, actually.  It's come to my attention that one of the files I lost during the Crash of 2015 was Loaded March Characters.doc, which just so happens to be the list of names, descriptions, occupations of nearly everyone in the series (I kind of ( Read more... )

I need someone to translate a phrase of dialogue in Welsh for me.  Can anyone help?

So, in my earlier post I mentioned having seen something on Tumblr -- I suppose you could call it the GoT version of Loaded March? -- by greenleaves-never/baemlalagreen.  The images are there in two posts (1, 2), but you can find a comprehensive description of the whytofores over on her LJI gotta say that I'm always amazed by the creativity of the people in the ( Read more... )

I heard about this before it happened, because it was a thing that was happening, and then it was a thing that happened amongst the LM Hive Mind, which seems to be a force of nature in their own right.  The thing in question is a future!wedding between Leon and Morgana, and it includes a combination of chat!cosplay, fanart, fanmixes, and an ( Read more... )

So, my plan for the next several days, assuming I survive the actual daytime hours and crawl home in a more or less conscious and coherent shape, is to try to catch up with the random news about the Loaded March series that have been popping up on the Interwebs.  I am probably going at them in reverse order of awareness, because some of these came ( Read more... )

I've done very little writing over the weekend -- it was one of those holy fuck, no one told me I had this much shit to do weekends -- and my word count on Friday was 2,500 words, and I managed 500-750 words today, which brings me to an approximate word count of... hold on, I have to adjust for screwing up the progress bar last time... of:

I just have one thing to say about the whole Merlin ending WTF, which really wasn't an unexpected WTF, but still a WTF nevertheless.  And that thing is: Damn you, I'm not done yet.

And I'm not.  At all.  By far.  Just because the show's approaching a finale doesn't mean I am.

Anyway!  Thank you to everyone who's voted in the poll so far.  Here is the ( Read more... )

Well, fiddlesticks.  It's taking me longer than anticipated to compile the poll, mostly because today has been full of interruptions, but also because I tried to trim the favourite scenes and lines down to four choices or less, picking a scene and trying to come up with a phrase that will at least somehow represent that scene.  I had to keep ( Read more... )

So, the general consensus appears to be that I've been rather neglectful when it comes to giving Will a surname.  Easily remedied!  But, no, it won't be Will Williamson, and it won't be Will Thacher (but thanks for playing; I got a nice chuckle out of those).

Um.

What about Kay?  I know I gave Kay a surname.  I mean, I must have, but the document ( Read more... )
