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.

spnslashbigbang and the 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, 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? ;)
It took a while (aka some of yesterday and all of today) but I finally have a first draft of my essay done! Who'd have thought it'd take so long to write 1200-1500 words?! I think it's pretty decent for a first draft. I'm going to go back to it later tonight once I've eaten and do some editing then spend tomorrow morning doing more editing and I'll hopefully be able to submit it tomorrow afternoon :)
Me and some friends are going to the pub tomorrow night for a friend's 18th so that should be fun - it's going to be nice to get out the house and be sociable and see some of my friend again!
I also managed to get started writing my fic for the h/c tag prompt challenge. I like what I have so far, I think. It's going to be gen which I haven't written in a while so I'm enjoying myself :D
How would you guys feel if I did the 30 day fic meme all in one post instead? I really want to answer all the questions but I feel like I'm going to fall behind if I keep doing it day by day again.
Plan for after I've submitted my essay:
I promised a proper update so here it is :)
This past week has been a LOT of FUN. I was really looking forward to it beforehand but it's even better than I thought it would be. I only began actual subject seminars on Wednesday but we've already had nine sessions and I enjoyed every single one of them. I think I'm going to break this down into a few sections so that if you're only interested in certain things you can just skip to those bits!
