fic babble

Once again, I watch my holidays float past in a blissful stream of buggre alle.

Have introduced tammaiya and tahira_saki to Firefly and watched the first anime series I've seen in approximately forever. 'Tactics', a stylish and entertaining albeit not hugely original mystery-cum-fantasy series with entirely unsubtle gay. Just what I needed.

So...a little while ago, villainny and linnpuzzle managed to collectively con me into promising them a pre-Arrangement Good Omens fic, and to my great delight it began to spin itself in my head today. I still need to reread the canon to clarify some points and hopefully get inspiration for all the current gaping holes in the plot, but I'm feeling quite positive about this. It's the first thing I've written in a while that hasn't immediately demanded a) the present tense and b) a prose-y, word-driven style. It's also far more true to the canon than anything I've done recently :)

Exam results come out tomorrow.

I shall distract myself by poking Quindlemire, which I find myself strongly attached to despite the fact that a goodly fraction of it came out of my idealistic and unpolished fifteen-year-old brain. I like the plot. The characters are strong and colourful and familiar. It's never going to be anything more than a light-hearted YA adult fantasy novel, but it's my first and longest and most promising original work and I'm not giving up on it.

Hell, have a cookie from it, too. It's come a long way in three and a half years.

I am Jack's scream of delight

PWNED

Which means I somehow got an HD on that pretentious wanky ramble that was my sociology essay, so clearly the world has gone topsy-turvy in my favour. I approve.

As if to discourage this confirmation of my scientific prowess, my subconscious handily decided to make my first lucid dream in months be about my successfully auditioning for a part in a professional production in Melbourne, and then running around trying to find some way I could live there and not miss too much uni. It was bizarrely realistic; I was told I had the part, and immediately went OHSHITMUSTCHECKWITHPARENTS and felt bad about not telling the director that I lived in Canberra because I hadn't expected to get the part anyway, but I was so happy about being told I could act...

Bwah.

Anyway, my father likes to buy himself electronic gadgets, which basically means that I get all of his old ones. Ergo, shiny digital camera! I'll do that meme where you tell me anything you want me to take pictures of; my feet, my wardrobe, my fridge, my bedroom, my street, anything. And I will upload said pictures for the world to laugh at. Yay?
