I'm back!

Hey all! How are you? Having a good weekend?

I finally sat my exam yesterday! I think it went quite well - I managed to answer my questions on a pretty good range of topics and I think I argued my points well so I've just got to wait until we get the results now and see :) I feel like a massive weight has been lifted off my shoulders now, though. I still have a term paper to write but I've done all the leg work - the researching and planning - already and it's a different sort of pressure to exams anyway :)

I've taken today off. I was just going to take the morning off because we took Kizzie for a long walk and then went for a pub lunch but when we got home my cousin was here with his kids and they stayed up until about half an hour ago so I'm just going to grant myself the rest of the day off, too! I can write my essay up tomorrow. Going to try and get some writing done this evening instead - it's ages since I've had the time to just sit and write so I want to do some of that. Lots of things on the go at the moment. Speaking of, if any of you who are still waiting for your prompt fics want to change to a non-seasonal prompt now that it's pretty late in January, just say. I really don't mind. 

I don't know whether I mentioned but I've been watching the BBC Sherlock over the last couple of weeks - I'm all caught up except for 2x3 but I think I'm waiting a few days to watch that until my Mum and sister are caught up. I really do love it, though! Next on my list to try is White Collar.

What have you guys been up to? I know a few of you signed up for spn_j2_bigbang...do you know what you want to write/do art for yet? I'm really excited for this round!

Thanks! I had a really lovely day yesterday - going to try and get my essay done today and then hopefully I'll have a relaxing week, too!

Would you want to do a J² fic for me that's entirely not your style?

[theron09.livejournal.com]

I would indeed. At the moment I'm just working on the prompts I received for over Christmas. But you can prompt here and I will write it when I can :)

[morgentau.livejournal.com]

Awesome.

How about a J² fic that's entirely without dialog except where it fits. But then only one or two lines. Also, the tone should be overall melancholic. There's no real plot, just thoughts and emotions. Told from one POV, you decide who. No schmoop. The setting doesn't matter since it's about the inner workings of the characters anyway.
An open ending would be nice, happy or sad. No death fic or too much angst, please.

Are you up for something like that?

[theron09.livejournal.com]

I can definitely give it a go!

[morgentau.livejournal.com]

Cool! Thank you!

Stupid instant comment. I wanted to add that I'm happy for you that all exams are over. I hope all went well? So what's your verdict on your first semester in college?

[theron09.livejournal.com]

Thank you - I think things went well.

I loved my first semester :) I made so many friends and had some really great lecturers and, even though it was hard work, I enjoyed the hard work :)

[morgentau.livejournal.com]

That's great. :-D I wish you the best of luck and fun with the upcoming semesters.

Thank you :D

Good to hear your exam went well. I hope the term paper won't be a problem now :)

I went to a museum today and took my laptop (nearly 3 hours train ride) to continue my big bang. Unfortunately I'm not sure whether it counts as 80% complete - I have still no idea where I'm going and now I'm stuck with the plot - so I may have to drop out after all. That would suck, but I could continue writing the story for the casestory big bang instead, where rough drafts aren't due until May. I feel really bad about it but I think I have to consider it.

I watched only one episode of the BBC Sherlock Holmes series, but I really liked it. I'll try and find it when I have the time. As it happens, I watched the latest Sherlock Holmes film for the second time on Monday (we actually wanted to see a different film but ended up at the wrong theater), and I bought the first film with Robert Downey Jr. and watched it yesterday. I liked that interpretation as well.

So good to hear from you again :)

Thanks - it's definitely took a lot of pressure off! I've got about 500 words still to write of the term paper but it's going well, I have the main body written, really, just need to go back and expand certain bits.

It sounds like you were being productive on the train. That's the Miami Vice fic, right? How many words are you up to?

I really like the BBC version - it's really, really awesome. I've seen the first but not the second film - I did like the adaptation (I watched it before I watched the BBC version) too, but I think I prefer the BBC version. That said, both are awesome and I'd still like to see the second film at some point.

Feel free to email me about the fic, by the way - I should be quicker at answering now revision is out the way!
