Some things I need to tell you

Hey all! How are you doing?

I feel like I've been really busy over the last week or so and, because of that, I haven't had much time to be on here or to write. I think I might have to drop out of the Leverage big bang but I'm going to wait and see. I have fifteeen days to write at least 14,000 words and it would be doable if all I had to do was sit in front of my laptop and write but it's not. We're still decorating and packing for the holiday and then I'm going on holiday without my laptop and then there's like, five days maybe when I get back but that's a busy week too because I get my results and things. So basically, I'm going to try and keep writing it but if I don't get it finished in time I'm not going to stress. Oh, and I think I'm making in gen instead of Nate/Eliot because I think it'll work better with my idea. I think.

I signed up for [livejournal.com profile] spnslashbigbang and the [livejournal.com profile] spn_reversebang - that sounds bad after saying I'm struggling with the Leverage one but the deadlines etc are much later so I'm thinking ahead with those. I already have an idea for the big bang, obviously I don't for the reversebang, so hopefully that'll turn out well. Who else is taking part in either of them? Speaking of, [livejournal.com profile] thebigbangjob still needs more Leverage artists!

I'm going to get organised for this holiday - print out all the prompts and plot outlines and stuff to take with me so I can at least try and get something written. So yeah, wish me luck with that :D

I still haven't heard back from the summer school people about this library book so I'm going to give them until after lunch and then call them if I don't hear from them by them. I've been thinking though and I don't think they can realistically fail me for this. Surely they must know that I wouldn't be so keen to check if they've found the book and stuff if I wasn't telling the truth. I just really want to know for certain because it's nagging at me.

As I mentioned briefly (loudly) yesterday, I'm now a registered Pottermore beta-tester and member. My username is pretty cool - ShadowMarauder178 - because I love the Marauders :D Anyway, I'm very excited and I'm looking forward to getting my welcome to Hogwarts letter (welcome to pottermore email.) So, who else among you is no longer a muggle? ;)

Can't wait to read your fics when there done :)

:) I just hope I get them done soon! I do have one finished that I'll hopefully be posting sometime soon but, apart from that, everything else is still very much a work in progress!

I signed up for [livejournal.com profile] spnslashbigbang and [livejournal.com profile] spn_reversebang as well! :D

I did a similar thing for the holidays - took the prompts I wanted to write with me, ... but in the end I didn't write much. I hope it works better for you, though. I'm looking forward to the stories already. :)

I hope the thing with the book gets sorted out soon. *hugs*

And I still haven't gotten the mail from pottermore... and I'm thinking I might have missed the part where my username was displayed. -.-

Yay :D We can be challenge twins! Do you have any ideas for spnslashbigbang yet? I have a casefic in mind that I've been meaning to write for a while.

Man, I really need to try and catch up with writing things! I have one finished story that I'll hopefully be posting sometime soon but, apart from that, nada!

Thanks - it did! After a bit more of a fuss I got through to a new person who sorted it out in five minutes! The library found the book and sent their apologies so all is good :D

Hmmm, maybe you could see if there's a help email or something if you haven't heard anything by, let's say, tomorrow? I hope you do manage to sort it out! *hugs*

I'm thinking either a casefic or the heaven-ep-AU I talked about a while ago. I could have Dean see one of Sam's memories with Dean that he can't remember and then freak out because it's important... cue ANGST! Ohhh, I actually want to write that. First, though, the mini-bang.

Yes, then write! I'll keep my fingers crossed for you.

That's good. :D It's still a bit unfair they'd leave you hanging like that for so long, though.

I'll see if I get something. Otherwise I think I'll follow your suggestion and look if I can send an email. Thanks. :)

That sounds like an awesome idea :D

Thanks!

I'm keeping my fingers crossed!

Ah I understand about needing to drop out of the leverage big bang but I hope that you finish the story anyway, I'd love to read it :)

Hopefully I won't need to drop out but, if I do, I'll definitely finish the fic XD

Let's just hope I manage to finish the draft by the 17th! XD

I thought about trying to register early for Pottermore, but I've missed the Magical Quill two days running :( I'll probably just wait for October.

Awwww, well I hope you manage to catch it at some point but, if not, see you on there in October XD

I actually got there in time, just now! Very exciting.

Yay - that's great XD What username did you go for?

[identity profile] theron09.livejournal.com 2011-08-03 02:49 pm (UTC)(link)
That's an awesome name!!!!!!
