Round 44, Hour 16

[xandromedovna.livejournal.com]

Hear Ye, Hear Ye!!

As your new Queen for the next few hours, I have some rules of the Fandom to impart:

1) A being may not be discriminated against on the basis of it's Penguin ancestry, nor the Functionality of its wings, in the realms of Marriage, ownership of Fish, access to Ocean waters, or drunken dancing.

2) Plants are forbidden to laugh, unless something funny has occurred.

3) All ships captained by household appliances may sail in these Waters with immunity.

4) All lemurs more than a mile high... well, they can just carry on as usual.

5) Let all the Fic be WRITTEN!!!!!  (And regale us with updates on your life this hour!)

My lemurs are not, in fact, high. They are just hanging around as usual. Except for the very small one, who likes to travel. I dunno where he is.

This chapter I am working on... well... argh. I know first drafts have to precede final drafts, but it's so bad right now. So bad.

[agirlnamedtruth.livejournal.com]

Make sure they don't fall in with seriesfive's lemurs, it's a slippery slope and they don't want to end up like this one (http://fic-rush-48.livejournal.com/564326.html).

[xandromedovna.livejournal.com]

Trust, I'm right there with you. My rough draft is ROUGH.

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

I might be down to describing things in elementary school reading grade level just to get the scene on the page. Well. Beats not getting the scene on the page.

[xandromedovna.livejournal.com]

Actually, yeah, that sounds like a good idea. I should try that...

[justice-turtle.livejournal.com]

My little sister had a similar method: when you know how the scene goes but can't get the words to work, write the first draft in some ridiculous style you know you won't keep, like faux-Shakespearean or Mockney. It's remarkably freeing. :-)

2) Plants are forbidden to laugh, unless something funny has occurred. - RIP agirlnamedtruth, who has just died laughing. Luckily she was not a plant and thus, no rules were broken.

and

3) All ships captained by household appliances may sail in these Waters with immunity. - Hell yeah they can!


Now don't all get too excited but I have a whole NINE new words written in the last hour 0.0

[xandromedovna.livejournal.com]

I'll come to your funeral! seeing as I caused your death... #oops #kissesA #SCREWYOUEZRA

Holy Goats, that's a lot of words!

[agirlnamedtruth.livejournal.com]

Don't worry, I won't tell anyone you killed me. #twocankeepasecret #ifoneofthemisdead

I know, I've got to add it to the measly 50k I've got already for that fic, now I'm debating if that will make it too long...

I know that song! It's...what is it? The Pierces! Secret?

[agirlnamedtruth.livejournal.com]

Yep, I love that song so much! I keep singing it randomly and freaking out everyone that hears me xD

[xandromedovna.livejournal.com]

No but actually I was just singing it in the shower because you got it stuck in my head.

[agirlnamedtruth.livejournal.com]

That's just me performing a national service tbh xD

[a-q.livejournal.com]

I edited some more words. Word count stayed the same, but I hope I got rid of the grammatical blunders. Damn adverbs! *shakes fist*

[xandromedovna.livejournal.com]

Adverbs are kinda mean when it comes to grammar. Almost as mean as prepositions.

[agirlnamedtruth.livejournal.com]

See, you say your lemurs are all fine but there are pictures out there that say differently :P

[agirlnamedtruth.livejournal.com]

That sounds very much what the koalas say in defense of eucalyptus :P

[agirlnamedtruth.livejournal.com]

There's bound to be a conspiracy somewhere, that lemur was far too zen to not be hiding something. Because that's how conspiracies work apparently...in my head at least.

[agirlnamedtruth.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I could go for one of those vanilla flavoured ones you mentioned a moment ago, they sound nice :P

[lolmac]

I've met some vanilla fruits, but the kinky ones are much more fun to hang out with.

TROLOLOL

Open some other folders as a dry run? It's good to practice, that way there's no WIP related injuries! :D Though, playing is important too!

[xandromedovna.livejournal.com]

ooo cleaning I should do that... I think I'll just stare at my WIP folder instead #solidarity

Hell is only foggy on Thursdays. Or after a Winchester escapes.

[agirlnamedtruth.livejournal.com]

Or if Crowley is singing mood music and needs the smokey atmosphere.

[agirlnamedtruth.livejournal.com]

I love Good Omens so much! I'd already seen Supernatural when I read it so I kept picturing Mark Sheppard as GO's Crowley too which made it interesting. But yeah, him and Aziraphale were my favourite part of Good Omens xD

[agirlnamedtruth.livejournal.com]

I would watch the hell out of that, it would be so amazing! I always need more Paul McGann and Richard E Grant in my life <3

[agirlnamedtruth.livejournal.com]

Yeah, that's totally research. I would probably do the same if I didn't have a big bang due in tomorrow. I've already done too much research today...

[agirlnamedtruth.livejournal.com]

Paper Legends, it's a big Merlin one, minimum 30k and for some reason I decided to use it as my first attempt to write something purely driven by plot with no smut in it whatsoever. Which is very stressful. Especially for someone whose comfort zone is PWPs o.0

[agirlnamedtruth.livejournal.com]

Thanks, this one is actually the most nervous I've ever been. I'm still editing and putting the finishing touches to it tonight so yeah, pretty stressed about it :(

[agirlnamedtruth.livejournal.com]

Oh yeah, I'd actually forgotten we had an AO3 collection. I'll be sure to do that seeing as for the last 6 months every word written during a fic rush was for this fic.

[xandromedovna.livejournal.com]

HOLD THE PHONE how did I not know there's an AO3 Fic_Rush collection?! This just made my life!!!

[xandromedovna.livejournal.com]

THIS.

[xandromedovna.livejournal.com]

Glad I could clear that up for you! :D
