Round 20, Hour 46

[lolmac]

The ninja wolves have been displaced by very annoyed ninja sea urchins and ninja vicuña, who did not appreciate having their letters usurped.



Meanwhile, how goes the writing?

If I can catch me a ninja vicuña, I'm shaving it for ninja spinning fiber.

The writing has been bubbling along nicely thanks to research notes on Colorado (and not a Stargate in sight! ;) )

[carodee.livejournal.com]

Is that what they mean with ninja spins? I thought it was some kind of kick. Learn something new every day. ;-)

Sounds like your writing is coming along nicely.

[lolmac]

It might also be the main activity of a ninja PR firm.

[carodee.livejournal.com]

*blinks* That makes So. Much. Sense. How else would ninjas get the mysterioso, invincible (Invisible! Walk through walls!) rep that they have.

Ninja spinning is the most dangerous fiber craft of all. It requires a very sharp spindle.

[carodee.livejournal.com]

*g* How very civilized. Don't jump the queue!

[lolmac]

Unless it's a ninja flying leap with a nice big kick.

[carodee.livejournal.com]

Well, exactly. A well executed leap and kick and you can pretty much do anything you decide.

[pitry.livejournal.com]

Well, you know, as long as the ninja xylophones are kept at bay.

SO! I abandoned the paper I'm translating and went back to my fic. Rather, the ficcish sketching board. I will come up with a ridiculously complicated plot in order to avoid the feeling of "well this has been done before" that has plagued my previous 1000 words.

Ninja xylophones!!!! :D

(I am half expecting a ninja xiphias. Which is a swordfish. I think.)

[justice-turtle.livejournal.com]

NINJA VICUÑA. :D

The writing does not go. Instead, I am trying to get ALL THE PREP sorted for tomorrow (I am going to be starting community college, at which I will study to be an auto mechanic). Textbooks, notebooks, pens, WHERE DID I PUT THAT AAAAK I HAVE NOT UNPACKED YET *headless chicken*

...you know the drill. ;-)

[sid]

139 words finished a Five Things that I began yesterday with my lonely 96 words, so that happened. :-)

I think I'll try to toss together something for sg1_smooch next. Hmm. Who should be kissing whom? What a tough decision.

[lolmac]

They should be kissing each other. Silly question.

[sid]

Group snog?

[lolmac]

Why not? In some cities, there's a serious snog problem.

[pitry.livejournal.com]

Teal'c/Frasier would ROCK.

As would any explanation that would manage to keep that IC.

[sid]

LOL, have you been reading this?

[carodee.livejournal.com]

That was hilarious. There's something so satisfying with hanging out and shooting the breeze fics. I enjoy them even more than action plots. Thanks for linking it.

[justice-turtle.livejournal.com]

Bwahaha, that is hilarious! :D

[justice-turtle.livejournal.com]

I nearly wrote Janet/Siler one time... ;-)

(Seems like every time I post a comment I run off to fetch another icon! XD *goes to find a good Janet icon*)

[sid]

That big wrench of his just makes all the ladies swoon, lol.

[lolmac]

Kirsty and Wanderingsmith have a whole AU involving Sam/Jack/Siler smut.

[sid]

Sam sure can pick 'em!

Ack! The errends ate up the whole afternoon! I hate to go anywhere on the weekends, since I drive so much for my job, but it couldn't be helped.

Now, for the last bit should I try and write some more on my fairly short SPN one, or keep slogging ahead on the editing of the epic?

I'm feeling pretty sluggish, since we went to a buffet, and I did breakfast, lunch, supper, evening snack and tomorrow's breakfast all in one shot.

I think I'll go for editing for a bit, and see if I come more back to life.

My brunch buffet led to the consumption of a ham and cheese omelet, two strips of bacon, one sausage link, a few bites of melon, some hashbrowns, half a strawberry and one biscuit with sausage gravy.

Then I started on the lunch items. *g*

[laurie-ky.livejournal.com]

::fist bump for solidarity in overeating::

I'm envious. You got breakfast and lunch items. The buffet I went to had lunch only.

I'm so full. I'm trying to ignore the call of the couch.

Laurie

[sid]

My eyelids just started getting very heavy. *g*

[carodee.livejournal.com]

You've been so good about the editing that I think you should take a break and have some fun. SPN is fun. *firm nod*

I made the mistake of eating too much as a reward for writing. Food coma makes writing hard. I wish you speedy digestion.

Anyhoo, while you were out and about I managed to write 1,000 words and gave up for the day. Now I'm just hanging around the posts like the non-writing lazy gal I am. *g* Hi.

[laurie-ky.livejournal.com]

well, this SPN story will make me cry buckets as I write it, so I don't know if "fun" is the correct term. I kind of think of it as my version of a Viking funeral for Jo and Ellen.

I'm going to edit for the rest of this hour, and then give it a shot.

I'm trying to fight off the food coma. It's hard. I'm so stuffed.

And go you for the 1,000 words today! I like fic_rush, I'm glad you posted about it. I'll be back in the future, unless family stuff is happening.

Laurie

Laurie

[carodee.livejournal.com]

Good point. SPN is fun except when it's horrifying and/or heartbreaking. Your story sounds really interesting. Jo and Ellen deserved better but at the very least they should be remembered.

I've enjoyed my fic_rush experience too. I'm glad you played so there was someone I knew here. :-)

[lolmac]

It was great having both of you here! Do watch the main comm as well, so you can participate in the poll to choose the 'rush weekend for next month.

[dbskyler.livejournal.com]

Oooh, nicely played! You even made me look up vicuña. But what about the ninja uakaris?

[lolmac]

The spininess (as opposed to the spinniness) of the ninja sea urchins intimidated them. (Actually, it was the best I could do quickly without looking up alternatives.)

[jjpor.livejournal.com]

I've been making a list of fic recs for a member of my flist, for a very specific sub-genre. And then LJ ate my list when I tried to post it so I had to do it again. So, that's a productivity of a sort, isn't it? Isn't it??

[lolmac]

Do you use Firefox? If so, get the Lazarus add-on -- it will resurrect lost posts and form content when the browser eats it.

[jjpor.livejournal.com]

Nice one - I'll bear that in mind :)

[lullabymoon]

I was familynapped for a while and only just got back.

Urgh, writing. :(

[lolmac]

Welcome back!
