Round 20, Hour 1

[lolmac]

Whoa!  How did we reach Round 20 already?  Wow!

Who's here?  Who's not here, but is about to hop into a time machine later on and end up here now?  Who is living in an eternal moment of muchness and can draw it for us?  What are you working on this weekend?

Incidentally, it's sidlj's birthday this weekend.  So we can expect carousing, hilarity, drunkenness, inappropriate behaviour and porn.  In other words, the usual range of activities.

*waves hello*

[lolmac]

*edits post because I forgot to mention the Important Event this weekend!*

[sid]

*bows deeply* And a good time shall be had by all!

and maybe some writing will get done

[lolmac]

Here's hoping, both the good time and the writing!

[sid]

My first project is going to be drafting an Aubreyad remix of the Circe bit of the Odyssey.

Long story. Ha ha.

[lolmac]

Better that than an Aubreyad remix of the 'Circe bit' of James Joyce's Ulysses.

Longer story. Ha ha.

[sid]

*G* Did you know that Circe is also known as Kirke?

Did you know I'm writing crack? *rubs hands together while pondering the felicitous similarity between 'Enterprise' and 'Surprise'*

Happy birthday! *raising a glass*

[sid]

*looks at empty glass and runs to kitchen for refill* Thank you! :-D

Happy birthday weekend!!!!!!!!!!!

[sid]

Thank you kindly! :-D

[isdon-isgood9.livejournal.com]

Happy birthday :D

[sid]

YAY! Thank you!

[justice-turtle.livejournal.com]

Happy birthday, Sid!

[sid]

Thanks so much! :-)

[sid]

Thank you! If I can get some writing done I'll think it's very wonderful!!

[http://users.livejournal.com/idlewild_/]

Here! About to get a drink and get started writing.

[lolmac]

An excellent beginning!

[http://users.livejournal.com/idlewild_/]

Yup. Starting on a character sketch exercise about this image I can't shake but that doesn't have any kind of plot attached to it yet.

[lolmac]

That's a very good beginning also. Best of luck!

I have a skeleton!!!!! :D

Well, besides the calcified one inside me. I had that. This one is plastic, three feet tall, and intended for students in the nursing department at my community college.

...I am not a nursing student. I'm an auto mechanic student. BUT I CAN HAS SKELETON. XD

[lolmac]

Are you going to keep it in your closet?

[justice-turtle.livejournal.com]

Sadly I do not have a closet. (I'm sharing a room with my sister. She has both closets, or rather both sides of a very strange two-door closet. I have a clothes rod in the alcove. o_O)

I did keep my previous plastic skeleton - unarticulated, smaller, disturbingly pinniped, and generally less awesome - in my closet for a while, but I don't think the subject ever came up in conversation... *g*

[lolmac]

OMG, that icon is wonderful!!

[justice-turtle.livejournal.com]

I know, isn't it? :D persiflage_1 made it, based on a wallpaper Steven Moffat retweeted a while back. I yoinked it a while ago, but I simply couldn't squeeze it into my assortment of icons until somebody *eyebrow raise* unexpectedly gave me more icon space.

:D *hugs you* *again*

[lolmac]

*g*

[isdon-isgood9.livejournal.com]

I'm here :D And I have a whole heap of things to do so I should really get started considering tomorrow I should focus on writing my assignments rather than fic :D

[lolmac]

Darn. Can't the assignments do themselves while you write fic?

[isdon-isgood9.livejournal.com]

I know but my assignments are being stubborn and demanding that I actually write them myself.

[dbskyler.livejournal.com]

I think I'm going to go for the time machine option, because I'm feeling the need to make a run to the grocery store. Or I can always just post now and then go to the store, and no one will know I'm not here and writing the whole time. When I come back, I can brag about the thousands of words I've written. Oooh, sounds like a plan.

[lolmac]

A Cunning Plan!

[justice-turtle.livejournal.com]

Or you can meet the Doctor at the grocery store, go adventuring, write thousands of words, and then come back and tell us all about it. :D

On second thought, if you go adventuring with the Doctor you'd better drop by and pick up the rest of us while you're at it. XD

First time doing this, but I've got three hours of paperwork to do for my job tonight, before I can get started.

I've got three stories to work on, and I assume editing and rewriting is allowed. One is for sentinelbigbang, one is a SPN story for Ladies Big Bang on DW, (these have deadlines zooming up) and the other is the next chapter in a Sentinel WIP.

[lolmac]

Welcome! It's always great to have new people around.

We'll be here for the next 48 hours, and you can come and go as you like. There will be a post every hour; just drop in on the current post!

Writing, editing, revising, etc. all count. So does research. (So does "Research", aka Watching DVDs or Broadcasts of your Fandom For Inspiration.)

[laurie-ky.livejournal.com]

I watch TV while I'm doing my paperwork so I'll watch some Supernatural for research(the Ladies Big Bang story). What my bosses don't know won't hurt me, and honestly, it's not like I'm doing rocket science with this paperwork. There's a lot of waiting for the next page to load, or copy and pasting. Doing mileage reports, that kind of stuff.

So thanks for the welcome. carodee talked it up and since we're both trying to finish our sentinel big bangs, it's just what we need.

'I assume editing and rewriting is allowed.'

O, yah-sure-youbetcha. As is orig!fic, nonfiction, college application essays, internship letters... if it's writing, it counts! :D

[laurie-ky.livejournal.com]

That's great. I've got a lot of editing to do.

Laurie

[lolmac]

The more you write, the more you need to edit . . . since there's always more editing than writing, due to the strange alchemy of the art.

SPN Spoilers in this comment

[laurie-ky.livejournal.com]

I'm writing a story from Ellen's POV, when she's waiting with Jo to die. Well, there's some background stuff first. It's going to be short (3,500 words), and then I'll podfic it and I'm also doing a fan-mix for the story.

I like how we can mix-n-match and still be considered a big bang.

Laurie

[carodee.livejournal.com]

Hey, Laurie! *waves* Hope the paper works quickly for you.

[lolmac]

Hello there! Another new face, I believe? Or have you lurked here before?

[carodee.livejournal.com]

Brand new, although I ran across someone mentioning last month's rush and thought it sounded like fun.

[laurie-ky.livejournal.com]

I'm going to start in two minutes. I'm prepared, with a mug of homemade hot chocolate laced with Maker's Mark whiskey to make it tolerable.

So, into the fray, eh?

Laurie

[justice-turtle.livejournal.com]

Hi! Welcome! Glad to see you! (Aren't you from Dwth's write_this_fanfic, or am I getting mixed up?)

[carodee.livejournal.com]

Happy birthday to sidlj. Hope your muse gives a lot of creativity.

This is my first fic rush and I was all gung ho earlier then I sabotaged myself with self-indulgent Indian food delivered and now I'm in a queasy food coma. D-: So I will be napping it off for the next few rounds.

I'm going to be working on my big bang this weekend - a combo of meta and fic on the same episode of The Sentinel. I need 6,000 words to make my word count and then all I have to worry about is figuring out how to end it. I hope to get a good chunk of it done this weekend.

[lolmac]

We'll be here for the next 48 hours, so drop in when you can! If you're watching the comm on your flist, you'll see a new post every hour . . . although the accumulating posts will tend to bury everything else on the Friends page. (I use a viewing filter on 'Rush weekends.)

[sid]

Thank you! :-)
