Fic Rush 48

Well, don't do ALL the writing -- leave some of it for the rest of us! ; )

From:

I have to go to bed fairly soon but I preemptively wrote 2k this evening and I want to get at least another 500 words down before bed :)

From:

Well, you definitely don't want those 500 words running around while you're trying to sleep! Definitely try to get them down first!

Hoping this will prompt me out of my dry spell. I have so many wips languishing, and I just signed up for 2 big bangs just to have a deadline to get me going again.

From:

I'll have to send them over here to make a mess of the first shiny hour ;)

From:

If you were after a deadline then you could have borrowed one of mine, I'm sat here trying to write 7k over the span of 48 hours because one of my deadlines seemed to jump out of nowhere ;)

From:

A clean new screen is hypnotizing. I can stare it for hours. *stares*

Fortunately, I have a handful of almost finished stories that I can work on. Almost finished for YEARS. If I get just one of them done this weekend I'll be happy. Two would be ecstasy! *scribbles all over the blank screen*

Haha, I shall try. ;)

From:

Yikes! I couldn't manage that at my most prolific. Good luck!

From:

Scribbles, hooray!

And here's hoping for ecstasy!

Totally excited!!!! Can't wait to write!!

Plus your icon is awesome!!!!

From:

Luckily for me I work best under pressure. In fact, I'm fairly certain that it's the only time I do work well.

Add that to having fic rush on, a surprise deadline couldn't have come at a better time (well, I suppose not at all would have been better but there you go).

Thank you, to you as well! Out of curiosity, what bangs did you sign up for?

From:

It is, isn't it?

thisbluespirit made it. In fact, she made me a whole bunch of fic rush icons. :D Unfortunately, I only have the icon space to use one at a time, but if I nickname them the same thing, they replace each other. Which is why it now looks like I was using this icon back in round 37, even though this round is actually the first time I've used it. *g*

Almost-finished stories frequently turn out to be awesome! Go, go, go!

Hellooooooo?

I took an unexpected nap,(five hours!) and I'm still kind of muzzy headed. I want to finish a smallfandombang story (it's at 29,514) on The Incredible Hulk, and then do some final editing on a long 57,000 word story, also for

smallfandombang, and go over a chapter on a Sentinel WIP and send it to my beta.

I'll have to do some household chores, too. I noticed that the firewood fairy did not bring in any wood for our wood stove while I slept, so I'll have to jump on that, and I have to take down the Christmas decorations this weekend. This is a new record on procrastination on that for me.

I'm here, more or less!

I have two projects to work on. One is an antique WIP, and the other is a Top Sekrit project due next month. Tonight might not be the night, though...

But I might refresh my thoughts on the WIP or brainstorm a bit about the other project. I'll be occasionally lurking at any rate. :-)

Hey, Hey ,Hey.

I'm going to do your Moonridge story for the Sentinel Big Bang, I've decided.

I still have a gold snowflake attached to my front door that I forgot about when I took all the other decorations down. It...fits the season. *g*

Oh man, the only thing I should be writing this weekend is slides for a stupid training session for work.

Maybe I will be able to sneak some fic in there too.

From:

Sounds like you needed that nap! Good luck on the chores and the writing / editing.

From:

Lurking can be very good at getting one in the mood to write, actually. At least, that works for me. So lurk away!

From:

You could write yourself a drabble in the notes section of each Powerpoint slide . . . ; )

But there is also a long tradition of using fic_rush for writing work and school things, so feel free to make progress on your talk, too.

From:

Ninja deadlines?? Eeek!!!!!

From:

Unfortunately, I can empathize. Good luck this weekend, and hope the round helps!

From:

I'm afraid rival forces are trying to assassinate me by hiding ninjas within all my deadline, this isn't the first that's come out of nowhere o.0

From:

That is awesome. It's always great to kill two birds with one story. *g*

I'm looking forward to it.

From:

*snickers* That might interfere with my ability to write though.

From:

They do and then I wonder why it took me so long. The answer is almost always I left the sex scene for last. :-( Dunwanna. But I shall persevere and smut will happen.

From:

Bad firewood fairy! Those chores just never get done. Don't they know you should be writing?

Incredible Hulk! OMG, the Bill Bixby version? I loved him in that series.

villainbigbang and

tolkienbigbang, although the Tolkien one isn't due until late in the year, so that's a bit less motivating.

I guess they don't much care that this is fic rush. I've now brought in one armload, dishes are soaking, and I swept the floor where we put the firewood on a rack.

Writing? Nada.

Yes, Bill Bixby's Incredible Hulk. You can watch them on Hulu and on Netflix, since Hulu doesn't have the last two seasons. Netflix used to have season five but now they don't, and I don't know why. It's out on DVD, too.

Bill is so great. I've been watching the episodes quite a lot, for research, for research, I cry. Bill was so consistant with how he portrayed David Banner. Loving and brilliant, haunted by his wife's death, and with enough of a blind spot that we could see his obsessive side as he tried to understand how people could call on great strength at times.

He'd be quiet and watchful when he was in situations he wasn't sure about, get frustrated and mad about dumb stuff regarding machinery (he lost it once in a phone booth when he couldn't get the phone to work right), but was amazingly patient with people. When he trusted someone he'd relax and be silly sometimes, with bad imitation accents of John Wayne and such. David was a modest man, and it showed in how he dressed, so when he would end up in only badly ripped pants, just hanging in strips or one time, in just a pair of boxers, the discomfort he felt was so clear on his face. I heard that Bill Bixby didn't like having to do the scenes where he was without a shirt, and he sure channeled that feeling into his acting. He did dazed really well, and the looks on his face when he'd come back to himself, especially if someone was there and had seen him transform, just wow. So poignant. He'd look ashamed and humilated and sad and worried and if it was someone who didn't know about his transformations, he'd be so wary.

I loves me a good guy fugitive story, and I grew really fond of Jack McGee, too. Jack kept chasing David but he came to like him but he still thought capturing the Hulk was the right thing to do.

Lou did a great job with letting us see the kind and gentle man David really was, even when he was big and green. The Hulk had lines he didn't cross when it came to how much intimidating or shoving people out of his way. He cried, too.

Yeah, I couldn't not write this story.
