Tremendulent!

Dear lord was it fun to get to work today. Ice all over the place and no grit. I slipped way too many times. Once I did a lovely arabesque-like move and was just happy I didn't take a header into the pavement. Grrr.

In other news, I've written 942 words of a very rough beginning for Yuletide, so I'm happy to be making progress.

In other, other news, in my lead up to actually writing an X-Files story, I am doing two things, watching season three in the evenings when I get home and reading fic. Which leads me to a fic rec!

If you like Stephen King's The Stand and you like Mulder/Scully AND you like long fics: Read this!

Last One Standing. It reads like a Stephen King novel and does use characters from The Stand. Mulder and Scully are awesome and make me smile. It's definitely gory and there are some violent scenes (Stephen King, remember?), but it's epic and very engrossing. If you want to be spoiled about who makes it and who doesn't, let me know.

Happy Monday!

Fings!

1. Happy Thanksgiving, United States peoples! I hope you all have lovely dinners and eat some mashed potatoes and cranberries for me! Although, the best part of Thanksgiving? The sandwich made the next day out of leftovers. omnomnomnom

2. Watched Easy A. Loved it! Absolutely adorable. Is it wrong that I want Olive and Mr. Griffiths to meet up when she graduates from college and becomes a teacher? They then have awkward encounters in the break room and fun conversations about literature. And he maybe takes her out for dinner.... Never mind.

3. Word count on original thing: 8,567. This is what happens when I say 'Oh, it'll be short. I'll go for a minimalist approach.' *sighs* I really need to finish it this weekend so I can work on exchange fics. (Hello Yuletide and McCoy/Chapel. I have PLANS for both of you)

4. IT SNOWED TODAY!!! So pretty! And cold.

Happy Thursday!

So, I was walking back from lunch, letting my mind wander and remembered a picspam robanybody did a month or so back, which included Michael Fassbender and Karen Gillan.

I've also recently rediscovered my love for Remus Lupin. So, I thought, 'Why hasn't Michael Fassbender played a werewolf? He'd be PERFECT! All angsty and growly and smexy.'

Then I thought, 'And Karen would play this awesome pub owner in this weird, supernatural Welsh village where everyone was just a little off.'

So... Yeah. I have no time really to write this, I'd like to point out, although maybe it could be next year's Nanowrimo.

I did, however, write small snippet.

( Evan meets Hannah )

Sooo, would anyone actually read a fic in which Audrey from Haven attempts to find a place to rent and every place she looks at turns out to have either a curse/weird stuff/creepy stuff/bad juju, etc attached to it?

With a fair amount of Audrey/Nathan partner-y goodness?

Anyone?

As I've seen around the place, here are some snippets from my current works-in-progress.

I truly have no idea when I'm going to be able to work on them, but here they are.

( we'll build a little home, just meant for two )

HAPPY FRIDAY!!

Ha! Well, it's essentially done. Just a couple hundred words short of 20,000 but that will be solved in the next week or so. I just wanted to get it sent off.

So tired of this story.

Need sleepy.

And food.

Preferably chocolate.

Oh, by the way. If you would all be so kind, I see that there is now the option to post comments left in my LJ to places like Twitter and Facebook? I'd really appreciate it if you didn't do that with any comments left in my LJ. I'm not altogether sure I want to have a link between here and Facebook.

Thank you!

Things making me happy.

1. It's not raining.
2. I'm actually writing Big Bang and it isn't painful.
3. It's Wednesday!
4. I'm making spaghetti and meatballs for dinner tonight with some amazing looking meatballs I got from our fabulous butcher.
5. I met the most lovely black and white Great Dane today outside said butcher's. I'm five foot one and this guy's head came to my chest. Gorgeous!
6. Gary Oldman, Michael Fassbender, Benedict Cumberbatch, Colin Firth, and Ralph Fiennes are going to be in a film version of Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy. My life is complete. I adore the one with Alec Guinness.

Happy Wednesday!

ETA. Spock has just started gossiping in my story. WTF? I hadn't really planned on him doing that. Silly Vulcan.

I just hit 10,000 words on my Big Bang! Thank freakin' goodness!

I know, only halfway, but baby steps. Baby steps.

And 28 Weeks Later is on tonight and I'm thinking about watching it. Is it worth the time? I loved the first one.

I've written 500 words of a Ariadne/Robert Inception!fic.

Instead of McCoy/Chapel.

*facePALM*

I think I will do my best to write at least 1000 words of Big Bang and then reward myself with writing the new shiny stuff. Right? Right.

I'm going to go make dinner now.

Prompt me!

Give me a pairing, fandom, crossover, and I'll do a quick something or other.

I've got to get my brain in gear!
