Updates Real and Imaginary

[sevendeadlyfun]

So, the remix is done and posted. Except for maybe a bit of post-beta fiddling I did which was only the inserting a few words to make a sentence flow better and I should know better but I don't and UGH! I can't handle this kind of pressure, okay? Also I can't wait for next year. This one didn't give me enough good angsting time (despite what anxiety_junkie will tell you, I hardly angsted AT ALL. Three emails is barely any angst in my book. So there.)

I'm back to grinding away at all my regular fic. I have the next chapter of Ashes open and I'm scribbling away. And by scribbling away, I mean, of course, that I occasionally will type out a sentence fragment or two, both of which I will rewrite two days from now and then erase in a week after having left the thing up on my desktop that long hoping something will come to me. So probably another month for that, unless I get struck by lightening naked James Marsters inspiration.

The Monster is recovering sort of nicely from his tonsillectomy. Still croaky and sore, but no major issues so far. His mother is not recovering so nicely. I am stuck at home inside while he recovers and IT IS KILLING ME, YA'LL. My perspective is so skewed by less than a week as a shut-in I was seriously contemplating buying a pair of snakeskin platforms. With 5 inch heels. SEND HELP (and some hot River/Doctor/Amy porn).

I'm anxiously awaiting the arrival of my latest few comics issues so I can see what everyone finds so objectionable. It's nice to see some stirrings on the comics side of the fandom (even if they are mostly negative). Now where's all the comics fic hanging out? I can't ever find any, apart from some very tentative Buffy/Satsu. I feel like I'm the only writer doing comics fic (which I know is patently untrue but it sounds appropriately dramatic).

Update me, flisties? Everyone ready for....ya know, that big upcoming thing? SIGH. It's the solitude. It's unhinging me.

Man, do I feel this remark. Thankfully, I've got the fics written for my spring_with_xan day. Hopefully now I can concentrate on my summer_of_giles fic. (I signed up for these why, again?)

I've read up to #34 of the Buffy, not sure of the # on Angel, comics. I'm pretty much witholding judgment on both until the end of the "series". I've written a couple of "comics" (sorta-compliant) fics, mainly Buffy ones. But, it's based on stuff earlier in the season. I don't blame the direction of the comics for my lack of more write-y during this time frame, just my muse in general. Seems she's gone on an extended vacation - the wench.

Can I just say that it seems like it's been awhile since I've visited your journal, or have you added a new header/layout lately? Pretty!

Thank goodness it's not just me. Seriously, I feel like every time I trawl my flist, people are cranking out ginourmous epic fics DAILY. And here I am, writing around a hundred words every other day or so. It's a little disheartening. And I still have that 50 ficlets table hanging over my head (which I'm starting to worry may not happen at al).

I wish I was writing more comics fic. I got really inspired at the beginning and now? I got nothing. I think it's because they're mid-plot and I really hate to write before I've seen the end of the arc. I have a deep phobia of being Jossed.

Hmm, the banner has been here since...January? Huh. I just checked the file creation date and yep, January. It seems like longer. I was actually looking at my journal and going SIGH. It's so dated around here. Apparently I can only be appeased by oooh shiny for about five months.

Seriously, I'm blaming the being stuck at home-ness.
