1a. All spare words are going to Exchange at Fic Corner or Jukebox.
1a. i. Fic Corner! Argh! All of the plots so plotted out. Not enough of the words.
1b. If you want to have a horse in this race, you should nominate fandoms for Yuletide this week. Try this link? I'm not sure of the correct URL because I have already nominated, which means it redirects me to my own nominations. The Yuletide Admin journal and the Yuletide community journal are the best place to go for information on this challenge.
2. It is the second-to-last day at my main job. I am not totally sure what I am doing here today. I feel disoriented. Tomorrow I will be feeling everything else. My feelings about this job are very complicated. I will post about that later.
3. 33AR is nearly here: the weekend of 27-28-29 September. 20thcenturyvole and I are well on our way with food planning. My flatmate has been making the most amazing props for a zombie dissection session. Every time I open the refrigerator there is a new iteration of a brain. (Gelatin, food colouring, cottage cheese...)
4. Jukebox IS going well and I have finished MY main assignment but I'm worrying a little over the number of days before the deadline and the number of assignments yet to be turned in. I can't help it. It's lucky there are so many other things to distract me.
This entry is also posted at http://morbane.dreamwidth.org/6282.html. There are
I'm gonna nominate Suzanne Collins' Underland Chronicles because there is NOTHING ON AO3 NOTHING (okay there's one, and a fusion with Alice in Wonderland)
Sounds good!
No, not with 100% certainty. Sometimes, in past years, there has been. This year, people have been coming back to this post: http://yuletide.livejournal.com/1164230.html to report what they've nominated. Other people are updating a spreadsheet (linked in the post) with that data.
Caveats:
-Everyone can edit their nominations right up until the end of the nominations period (end of Sep 22)
-The spreadsheet is a bit behind.
I say "fair likelihood" because I realise you haven't said you'll definitely sign up.
I remembered that I could potentially have someone write me WATERSHIP DOWN and suddenly everything was sparkly and amazing and wonderful~~~~~~~ (and other people will nominate the one I dropped, so eh)
What kind of fic might you like for that?
Oh man ANYTHING (well not shipping, that's weird for me), but like, character pieces, additional mythology/stories, whateeeeever. I nominated Bigwig, Dandelion, Blackberry & Keehar (but Blackavar! And Hazel! And Pipkin! And Fiver! ALLLLLL THE RABBITS) and pretty much anything would make me happy.
Y'know, it's actually been kinda interesting checking out the Fic Corner dashboard and seeing the work count tick up (lots of people running it to the wire, I guess.) Mine's in, and kinda short, but the source text wasn't really inspiring me for actual plot and stuff. Hopefully Recipient will like it...
You need a beta or anything?
I hope your recipient likes it too. How's thimblerig gone with her fic? Has it been an enjoyable experience?
Thimblerig's one was on of the one's going close to the wire (helped by her thinking the deadline was yesterday ;-) ), but is very good. Also, I think it's a close match for the prompt she was writing to, so I think her recipient will be pleased.

Mostly being calm and sympathetic, cajoling, or bullying while holding my hand, primarily by IM, as I engage in OTT and hyperbolic histrionics about how hard writing is and how I have no plot and everything in the whole world sucks. Betaing is also helpful at a certain stage in the game.
Which, now that I think on it, is kind of a big ask. Uh.
With beta-ing, it depends on the canon. I'm also no good at beta-ing explicit sex. Other than that, we can talk.
For reference, is that an "I can't beta explicit sex because I'm not good at figuring out how to improve the Tab A-Slot B mechanics of it all" or a "Please don't ask for grammar checking on your porn because I'd rather not"? Cool with both, just want to make sure I'm not rude!
No, seriously, thank you so much. You rock tons.
