[ETC]

Iiiii feel like I need to apologize for the drabbles I seem to be flooding everyone with. Idk what's up lately; I can't actually make myself play but I have been churning out these motherfuckers like a sweatshop worker who just got a raise. I AM SO PUMPED TO WRITE PROSE, IT'S DISGUSTING. Hopefully I can channel some of this into apps, since lol I have three due tomorrow for [info]xovermods and they are nowhere near done, but w/e w/e I am riding the fic train while I'm on it.

ANYWAY MY POINT IS: sorry for spamming you guys with drabble after drabble. On the plus side, those of you who requested them are getting them much quicker than you probably thought? :D?

This week I'm hoping to knock out a few more. I have this ridiculously epic (and by epic, I just mean stupidly long) Leah one I've been picking at from a few different angles, and I already know what I'm doing for about half of the requests -- I just have to actually sit down and write them. I also need to do the polaroid memes still, so I'm going to add those as a separate prompt post at my fic journal to keep it all in one place. So you will probably see some repeats as I transfer everything over.

Also, apparently our office is closed on Friday, so I will be harrassing people to pay attention to me. You've been warned.

[ETC]

1) We have guidelines/prompts ready for [info]abundantideas, so those will go up later today! KEEP AN EYE ON IT.
2) I am apparently only capable of writing lately when I'm supposed to be working. I'm in the middle of my first drabble from the new prompt table (Leah/Caleb, I WILL RELISH ANY OPPORTUNITY TO WRITE THEM, NO LIE), and it is just pouring out of me in bits and pieces. As soon as I go home, lol, NOTHING. Clearly this is more important than my paycheck.
3) I have half a box of spaghetti, two eggs, and half a package of swiss and cheddar cheese each to get me through to the Tuesday after next. I'm going to starve. 8| Also need to put gas in my tank tonight, and am not entirely sure how I'm going to do that, since I have $12 on my credit card. Uh.
4) W/E I WILL JUST READ BOOKS FOR SUSTENANCE. THIS IS CLEARLY THE SAME THING.
5) Anyway, the point is, I am writing drabbles, so I will hopefully have at least one up tonight. Productivity, I have it.

Just a quick update -- following the crowd, made the writing journal I mentioned earlier today: [info]coffeespoons. The giant prompt table is posted here so feel free to comment. I still need to post the list of ones in progress/requested last time, but I haven't forgotten about them.

Sadly, that is absolutely all I accomplished today of my to-do list. We had that work thing (which wasn't as horrible as I feared, as I was totally allowed to drink on the job yessss) and I basically passed out on my face on the floor twenty minutes after getting home. Awesome. Carpet marks all over my cheek. 8|

[MH], [ETC]

Crowning moments in playing Jubilee:

[info]knockemdown: Anything else you guys want to know, just ask. I might even answer.
[info]cracklepaf: what happened to the american dream
[info]cracklepaf: am i looking at it

THAT IS REALLY FUNNY TO ME, IDC.


I have an absurd ~Western-themed~ work function to go to tonight, but hopefully I won't have to stay past the networking portion. I will lie and say I have a date or something if I have to. It ends around 7 and there should be free food (hopefully free food that I can eat), and I will probably -- hopefully -- require RP to decompress afterwards. Just so you guys know.

Haven't put these on my main to-do list, but today I must:
1) Make a fic/writing journal. Having all my writing in a separate place will help, I think.
2) Post the old prompt table with requests.
3) Post new prompt table. Badger people to tag it.
4) Feel like crap about not getting to old prompts...ever.
5) Maybe scribble notes for one or two of them down at this networking thing. 8| I have a vague idea of what every single prompt is/will be, but actually writing them has been a trial.
6) Get list of Madoc's ideas up on [info]abundantideas.
7) Talk to Julie and Emily re: rules for above? I think "don't be a dick" p. much covers it.
8) Tag: Emma's entry; Emma/Luce thread; Zara/Eddie comments on Esther's entry; Asher/Anne comments. Have I missed anything?
9) WRITE THE FUCKING LORELAI NARRATIVE UGH. That is my goal for tonight, guys. >:|

[ETC]

Being a general list of general things:
1) My boss is going to put extra money in my paycheck every month to cover gas expenses while I'm ~out in the field~. YESSSSSSSSSS.
2) I got like zero app work done this weekend aside from some notes on Bigby -- although, to be fair, I had only decided to work on Bigby anyway, so. He's going through some conceptual changes (i.e. I was pretty sure he would go by Frank and still be like Frank, just with a lot of Bigby characteristics; now he's Bigby in a Frank-shaped body, with Frank slowly losing hold), but so far coming along nicely. :D
3) Leah and Caleb are so fucking adorable. I'M GLAD YOU'RE BACK CLEZ, BECAUSE I MISSED THEM. Also just glad you're back, ilu etc.
4) I'm considering succumbing to the trend of fic journals and making one. I've been pondering having an actual writing journal for a while, so that would fit in nicely. I will probably post the new prompt table in it (along with the old one and the old requests WHICH I STILL HAVEN'T DONE UGH), and firmly expect everyone to comment. Firmly. Expect.
5) I've been kind of a fail on activity lately, even on weekends, and I have to apologize for that. I feel so drained when I get home that I just want to collapse into bed with one of my 9000 library books and pass out. I'm keeping up with everything though, even if I'm not commenting!


Also, Emily posted in her LJ the other day about this article, which a few other people (myself included) had read in Neil Gaiman's blog, specifically the part about the Sandman stories. I don't how serious she/Julie were in the post about it, but I think it'd be a fun summer project and a way to write with everyone without it having to be RP-related, if that makes sense? I know sometimes I want to write with people, but I can't dredge up any of my characters, or logging isn't really something I can do at that moment. I don't know, is anyone interested? I'd be happy to set up a comm and get the list of stories from somewhere, figure out a way to get it organized, if I thought people would be down for the actual writing. Thoughts?

UPDATE: [info]abundantideas
For those of you who are interested -- go join! I've invited everyone who's replied to this post. That'll be the main comm, where the sticky of ideas/prompts is posted, and also where you will post your stories/art/comics/poems/photographs/whatever. Once we've got all the kinks hammered out, we'll post up a general rule page, but mostly it'll be pretty low-key. We want to keep this just to the people we know and write with regularly (i.e. you guys), so we'd rather not advertise. YAY COMM
