omgggggggggggggggggg.
Ahem.
It's been a few weeks, which is about half on purpose - I procrastinated so dreadfully on my
ladiesbigbang fic that I ended up feeling massively guilty every time I opened a dreamwidth window, so I resolved to cut back on distracting online activities. Which ended up meaning, of course, that I posted nothing for nearly three weeks, and just spent the last three days churning out nearly nine thousand words of fic.
The upshot: I got to the point that I had previously identified as my likely stopping point way back when I realized there was just no way I was going to get through the whole first book by today, and I managed to edit in a couple important changes that needed to be there. So, about ten minutes ago, I turned in my fic. ... **chews nails off** I really hope it's all right that it's the start of a WIP, not an expansion of an existing WIP; but, hey, even if it's not, it's not like I can't still post it eventually. And the challenge was a really great way to get my brain moving - it's not like getting out a qualifying fic is the only purpose behind a fan-creation challenge.
Work is picking up a touch, which is great; I know how to do a little more stuff now, and I suspect that mild experimentation and a little googling has given me a more in-depth knowledge of HTML and CSS than my supervisor. Which, I know barely anything, so, pretty sad, really - but if I ever do anything with it, my supervisor's going to think I'm a genius. :D I also wrote up some text for her the other day, which was the first project she gave me that involved me actually creating text, not just taking other people's text and shining it up; and today she told me she was very pleased with it. \o/
So. Things I have been holding off on posting about:
( Wildlife; very boring to everybody but me, prolly. )
( Inception, now that everyone else in the world has said everything anyway. )
( Warehouse 13 and Eureka; spoilery, but not super in-depth. )
And now I really need to go to sleep, because I have work tomorrow. D: If I remember tomorrow, though, I also want to talk about Burn Notice, Covert Affairs, and Rizzoli & Isles.
