Round 15, Hour 27

[lolmac]

Previously, on fic_rush_48 . . .

.

isdon_isgood9 's penguin has gotten drunk, and is dancing around singing "Let's Do the Time Chicken Again".

sidlj has made herself into a martini icon, which is a hell of a lot better than being a fashion icon.

insertcode11 has doubts, but is writing words, so that's all good.

lolmac has been doing 'research', and has to do more.

What will this hour's exciting episode bring us?  Tune in!  Turn on!  Drop out!  Oops, sorry.

lol, you'll lucky if this will make sense since I'm still laughing at the post : D

I got 953 words this hour (I know that's a lot of words! My drunk penguin must be working) which brings me up to a total of 1471 this round fic_rush !!!!!! Now I think I'm going to make lunch, pray my muse doesn't run away on me.

*distracts muse with a dancing penguin*

[chibifukurou]

Up to around 6,600.Good luck with your martini drinking penguins.

[lolmac]

Woohoo!!

Why do I suck at dialogue so bad?

I'm cold. I have a stuffed monkey on my shoulder. His name is Pyro and he's a sucky muse.

Also. I think my fourth a cup of coffee gave me heartburn.

And this entry made me LOL!! :)

[lolmac]

Dialogue problems? Argh.

I'm fond of the technique of visualising my 'actors' in rehearsal, and telling them, "Okay, start improvising. Make it work. I'll just write down what you come up with."

Unfortunately, they don't always cooperate.

Why do I suck at dialogue so bad?

Strangely enough, the 200 words I just wrote are all dialogue!

Hi! *waves glowstick in friendly fashion*

[insertcode11.livejournal.com]

Yeah. Rub it in. Awesome. >.>

It's not just dialogue. It's arguing. A continuation of a past argument which was like 40K ago and I can't remember it very well... and I don't have that chapter on this computer.

It's kind of funny. It's like I decided to give my characters a script painted haphazardly with white-out and told them to wing it just to watch them SQUIRM.

Or I could be confusing fic with rl again. Huh.

Helllooo!!! *doesn't have a glowstick, so waves stuffed monkey instead*

[sid]

*thinks your monkey is cute* Oh, yeah, I see your problem! Continuity in that situation would be a bear. :-/

[sid]

Got another double drabble ready to post (as soon as I think of a title)... and an empty glass!

[lolmac]

Yay for the double drabble! Boo for the empty glass!

[sid]

Found title, posted double drabble, amended glass situation.

*scampers off*

Well, at this point the only part of this round I'm still participating in is the drinking. But I fully intend to count the weekend as research. My traveling companions are asleep and I have peach liqueur and Canadian aka real Smarties on the table next to me, but I left my laptop at home. It might be time to pull out actual pen and paper.

[lolmac]

Woohoo!!

Paper and pen are perfectly acceptable.

Also, i has a new icon.

Verra nice!

I'm writing off the shoe/pizza/cushion prompt. It may come to nothing, but it's fun!

Paper and pen are awesome! I think I did more ficcing with those while my laptop was away in the shop than I'd done by typing in the however-long previous.
