Round 51, Hour 46

[lolmac]

*bashes on LJ*  LET ME IN!!!!

Haha!!  We have LJ again!  It's been a while since we had a service interruption during a round.  Another alien attack!

Anyone else still here?  *digs into rubble*

It's probably bad of me that my first thought on getting the error page was "what's happened in Russia/Ukraine now...?"

[lolmac]

Not bad at all. Well-informed.

In other words, hi! We haven't seen you yet this round!

[jjpor.livejournal.com]

No, I've been kind of lurking around watching TV and not doing much writing. I've got about 400 more words done on an old unfinished fic over the past couple of hours, so that's something I suppose...

[lolmac]

That is definitely something!

Something else is that LJ just released all my undelivered notifications with a mad whooosh.

Crap, crap, crap. Why do I have to get a headache now? There are only two hours left.

I'm going to try to power through. One fic just needs a sex scene to be finished.

[lolmac]

I understand that sex actually helps clear up headaches.

OMG...here. Nothing accomplished, but here. Took a while. Sonic was set for DDOS attack. Meh.

[lolmac]

*squishes you* Another one found safe in the rubble!

[a-phoenixdragon.livejournal.com]

Barely. I meant 'wasn't'. OMG. So much Fail today. Anyone have a drink? Preferably toxic.

*Sobs in corner*

[lolmac]

There, there! Every drink is toxic to some form of life. Here's some lovely clear water, which is lethal to the crystalloids of Zamboni IX. Drink up!

[a-phoenixdragon.livejournal.com]

Thankyou.

*Goes back to staring and blinking cursor and daydreaming*

*clings to the wreckage of LJ*

I'm figuring out the timeline of my WIP. There's a scene to start it off, which takes place during Episode X, then a series of flashbacks (which tie into previous episodes) covering the year leading up to it, and then the story moves ahead to cover the final events (Episode Y.)

I've uncovered one more back-episode that I need to write a scene about, and possibly nailed down the sequence of events taking place during Episodes X and Y. Next I need to guesstimate time elapsed so that I can title the flashbacks "Nine Months Ago" "Five Months Ago" and so on. Which is sort of important to the flow of the story (the development of a relationship), but mainly I need some sort of internal consistency for the sake of my sanity, lol.

Nobody told me there were going to be arithmetic questions!!!

[lolmac]

Oh, argh, my sympathies! Those can be such a pain. The work always pays off, though -- at least it does for me! Best of luck!

[xandromedovna.livejournal.com]

Still here! I thought it was just my internet (we're always fighting) but it's a comfort to know it was aliens.

[lolmac]

Nope. It was either another boring DDOS attack on LJ by the Russian government-backed arm of the Mafia, or else aliens. At least aliens would be interesting!

[xandromedovna.livejournal.com]

I thought LJ was the Russian government-backed arm of the Mafia...

[lolmac]

Nope -- LJ hosts the blogs of most of the prominent anti-government activists in Russia, and refuses to give up their identities or locations. The Russian government regularly tries to take LJ down, since it's the irritating bastion of what little free speech exists there. We used to lose LJ at every Russian election.

[xandromedovna.livejournal.com]

Huh. As you were, LJ. You keep doing you.

*shuffles out of rubble blinking dust way from eyes*

[lolmac]

Another survivor! *offers cookies*

[juliet316]

Oooh, cookies are good. *munchies on one*
