Remember that whole Multifandom Ficlet Tag I mentioned that juleskicks is running? And remember how I was so happy with the Buffy/Lilo & Stitch crossover prompt?

Yeah, well, over six hundred words later it just won't end. I keep getting more scenes in my head, scenes between Buffy and Nani which make me giddy because they're just adorable together. (I really wanted to set it in early season two, but I also wanted to have Buffy and Nani commiserate about weird little sisters -- you can guess which won.)

I've been working on it tonight due to insomnia keeping me awake all freaking night (I've been doing other things, too, like laundry and updating my address list and putting away new books and DVDs), but probably won't finish it today. I'm off to have breakfast with a bunch of people as soon as J. gets off work in twenty minutes (this is me, thrilled. My social activity over the last two days hasn't ended well, with most of these same people, and now I'm really leery about going), and eventually I will likely nap.

juleskicks is running a Multifandom Ficlet Tag. There are some fun ficlets so far, and some great prompts.

The prompt which made me verbally express my glee despite the fact I'm at work:

Buffy/Lilo and Stitch, Buffy/Nani

LILO & STITCH! Oh, yay!

I already have a ficlet started. Woo. Maybe I won't go watch season two with A. tonight, maybe instead I'll stay home and fic. Because that also sounds like fun, after a trip to the gym.

So I just stocked someone's stuffing--no, wait, that's not right, stuffed someone's stocking--for Yuletide, a short little story I both love and loathe at the same time, in a new to me fandom (that makes two for Yuletide this year).

Then I realized I had failed to buy my godson an ornament this year. Which would be fine, except I bought his sister one. So now I have to go to the shops on Christmas Eve. I am so filled with woe on this it is not even funny. I have never had to go shopping this late for a gift from me. (I've gone with J. before on his last minute shopping. I've often spent Christmas Even frantically wrapping gifts for my parents, J., or J.'s mom. I've never had to shop for a gift I had forgotten.)

Now I am waiting for my hair to dry enough to go out in the (comparative) cold, and for the dryer to finish so I have jeans to wear. Sarah told me to go sans-jeans and be a rebel, but like I said, cold, so no.

However, I am still very pleased I was able to write a Yuletide stocking stuffer.

Happy holidays, you guys. I hope everything goes better than you hope.

I'm not really here, I just wanted to link this.

kindkit has a poll to see if there is any interest in a ten years of BtVS ficathon for next year when the tenth anniversary of season one rolls around. I think it's a great idea. Also, it's been almost ten years? I cannot believe it. Pretty soon my ten year high school reunion is going to come around, too. (At the same time as theirs, actually, if, you know, they were real and their high school wasn't gone.)

I'm so behind on everything and I owe lots of people lots of things and I'm sorry.

Sign-ups for Yuletide are open until November 2. This was so much fun last year, and I think many of you would enjoy it. Lots of room for girl slash (including Fast and the Furious this year, I added Letty and Mia to the character options). It's a good time, you should sign up now.

I continue to enjoy Ugly Betty despite my reservations.

Supernatural makes Thursday nights enjoyable, and it's not even half over yet.

marenfic is hosting the Battlestar Galactica Frakkin' Ficlet Battle over in her journal. As I received my season two point five DVDs yesterday, I plan to watch them (at some point...I don't know when) and participate in this challenge. Yes, I know I swore I wouldn't write BSG fic, but the girl slash! Starbuck! Starbuck having the girl slash! The president! Older Adama! Cylons!

Okay, obviously I have been sucked deep into another fandom.

Tornado warning. Tornadoes touching down. Equinox. Mom's birthday. Working all weekend (main job today 8-5, CogCon 5-11, main job 8-12 tomorrow, CogCon 12-11, CogCon 8-6 on Sunday). Want to watch my new DVDs. (BSG and Supernatural!)

X-Men

I think I'm writing two separate stories for the xmmficathon. I didn't intend to do this, of course, but I like both stories a lot. One is more developed than the other (and closer to my original idea on seeing the prompt), so I think I'll have to stick with it and maybe finish the other one later.

Of course, there's still a little while before they're due, so maybe I'll just write both of them. Who knows. I'm still really pleased with my assignment, and I enjoy writing it.

The Mighty Ducks

I feel kind of sick today, and even though I slept close to twelve hours last night, I'm already tired again. I'm glad I have the day off tomorrow, I didn't get anything done today except for a little writing.

So instead of being out with my friends, I'm at home watching D3, where the Mighty Ducks go to prep school. I've been thinking a lot about Queertet Revisited while watching it, of course, and I know more where Goldberg's plot thread is going, now. I always had a vague idea, but now I know more about his motivation. This is pleasing.

I also kind of want to write Julie/Connie after watching this movie again. Not in Queertet, of course, but maybe in a little one shot (which I hope won't turn into a mini-series like the Goldberg/Russ one shot did).

Horror Movies

I watch two complete crap horror movies today, though one was at least better than the other. thestalkycop recommended Black Christmas and for the first time with one of her movies, I have no idea why. Then I watched Woods of Evil, which had a good, if cheesy premise, but turned out to be way amateur. It was so bad moments were hilarious just because it was such crap--and I don't mean bad in that good way cheesy horror movies are bad.

I really should go ahead and go to bed, because I want to see how much I can write tomorrow, if I take regular breaks but don't have anything planned. I meant to do that today, but not feeling well didn't really help.

From swmbo, a_indara's Massive Flist Fic Exchange O'Doom, in which you go put up requests for stories you'd like to have written, and then see if anyone else's requests spark anything for you. Heavy on the Harry Potter and Supernatural right now, of course, but there are some other options AND you can put up anything. I'm thinking about mine, which I will also post here.

Back when I was tabletop roleplaying V:tM, my character had a bag o'doom with which she killed a number of things. She had special ammo and lots of guns. I really liked her.

Not dead. Unbelievably busy, even on my supposed day off for the Fourth of July. Exhausted. Missing you guys like mad. But still alive and still struggling to find time to do everything I need and want to do.

Have fic.

Well.

Ficathon assignment emailed at the last second possible (well, that's not true, I had a whole thirty minutes left) late because I forgot about the eastern timezone part of the deadline. Foiled! I started and restarted this assignment so many times because each option was wonderful and I wish I could have written more stories (and I may still, unofficially, later). I like the one I completed, but I like the partial stories, too.

This after K. and I spent a couple of hours buying material for my Wiscon fancy-dress outfit (and a few groceries to tide me over until I leave next week). Plus I had a long phone call from J., which is unusual and is not. I hate the phone, but I've learned to talk to J. pretty well over it--not all that often, but I can do it.

I'm getting through my Do Before Wiscon list at a slow pace, but I'm getting there.
