damkiannaGnargh. I only had two days off; how is it so hard to be back at work again? :P
On the plus side, though: NANO WORDCOUNT ACHIEVED. **fistpump** It's total crap, and it makes no sense if you try to read it through, because there are all these chunks missing and maybe a quarter of it should probably be in a sequel. But it's written, dammit. \o/
On the I-don't-even-know side, I may have gone through the spreadsheet of Dear Yulegoat letters, and I may have bookmarked all the ones with fandoms I feel I could write for, in anticipation of maybe writing someone a treat. I ... may also have accidentally written almost 3,000 words of fic based off one prompt. Hahahaoops.
H50 was a repeat, but I think The Event was new - or at least my mother and I missed it when it showed originally, so it was as though it were new. Mostly, right now, my big complaint is their bizarre pacing choices. Obviously, this is YMMV, but personally, I find their squish-and-stretch treatment of their arcs REALLY ANNOYING. The plotline about Thomas betraying Sophia and not betraying Sophia and betraying Sophia again has been very bam-bam-bam, one reveal after another, which is turning something that ought to be really thrilling and will-he-won't-he into a total snoozefest. And the same goes for most of the other plots, too - they choose weird things to stretch out over multiple episodes, and weird things to squish into a brief hunk of exposition. I had a fair number of complaints about Lost and 24 by the end of those shows' runs, but at least they were relatively good at stringing you along with a lot of tension, even if it sometimes fizzled out when they dropped a plot thread. The Event isn't even managing that much. And yet I can't quite hate it; which is for the best, because my mom is still hooked.
Now I have to finish fixing up the Dead Moms and triple-check it for posting tomorrow. D: omgsonervous.
