I have been plotting for
tardis_bigbang. It's kind of exhausting. Okay, really exhausting. But I have made some progress! (And found an excuse to include one of my favorite minor characters!) Still haven't figured out how to work my way from the middle bits to the very ending bit, but... I'm poking at that.
Papel is kind of an awesome program for plotting. It's like index cards, but without the stress and hassle and dropping them on the floor. I would be so much more aggravated with life, the universe and everything if I didn't have this to help with the plotting.
More and more, I'm concerned with the length of this. I don't mind if it gets epic, just... not so epic that I can't write it before the deadline. GAH.
Also, I've got to stop listening to Jonathan Coulton. If only because the Doctor keeps grabbing songs for his playlists, and it's getting a little ridiculous.
EDIT: I am not allowed to include a subplot based on this song. I'm just NOT.

Date: 2009-02-17 10:16 am (UTC)...Mac's intense love affair with capslock is my favorite thing ever, but I digress.
...The Master WOULD like that song. *Snorts* I considered putting it on my Sark and Sydney playlist just for the lulz, but they both looked at me like they'd tear my arms off and beat me... So I didn't.
no subject
Date: 2009-02-17 10:23 am (UTC)That song would be awesome for Sark and Sydney. ...or maybe I'm just a dork. But REALLY SARK. Why would you NOT want that song?
no subject
Date: 2009-02-17 10:28 am (UTC)BECAUSE IT IMPLIES THAT HE'S A MAD SCIENTIST WHO LIVES ON A MOUNTAIN AND KIDNAPS GIRLS AND MAKES THEM MONKEY/PONY HYBRIDS? ...Oh wait, you're not, Sark? Pssh.
They do have The Masochism Tango! That makes it better.
EDIT: They also, apparently, have "No Children," which I don't remember putting on there. Then again, I don't remember putting half the songs on that playlist on that playlist. I think I made it in my sleep.
no subject
Date: 2009-02-17 10:32 am (UTC)Also, OH PLEASE, SARK. LIKE YOU WOULDN'T MAKE ALL THE MONKEY/PONY HYBRIDS IF YOU THOUGHT IT WOULD GET YOU SYDNEY'S LOVE?
no subject
Date: 2009-02-17 10:35 am (UTC)They have a ridiculous number of snarky songs. And then they have songs like "Pirate on the Run" that are adorable. And then they have "Victim of Love," which is like the middle ground between SNARK and ADORABLE. Oh kids, you have the special.
XD And Sark just throws his hands in the air and walks off, muttering to himself. Like he do.

Aubrey, I think you just unstuck me.
no subject
Date: 2009-02-17 10:13 am (UTC)Papel has actually gotten me to DO stuff other than... flail unhappily at the world, so it's doing pretty well in my opinion!
no subject
Date: 2009-02-17 10:15 am (UTC)It doesn't work on Macs. SOB. I must find something similar because this looks like JUST the sort of thing that would help me brain past where I'm currently stuck--and I'm going to stop before I start rambleflailing.
...incidentally, all of my icons but ONE are currently Rift-related.

Date: 2009-02-17 10:22 am (UTC)Also, that is AWESOME. Rift icons for the WIN.

I just looked up Scrivener. And went. OH. MY. WANT.
(and you know it's time to sleep when you stare at the pile of clothes on your floor for a straight minute thinking, "DUDE, THAT TOTALLY LOOKS LIKE A SKULL. TOO BAD NO ONE IS AWAKE. I WOULD SHOW THEM. BECAUSE IT TOTALLY LOOKS LIKE A SKULL. OR LIKE. AN ARMADILLO. OR SOMETHING.")

Date: 2009-02-17 10:25 am (UTC)Granted, it's only a 30-day free trial, then you have to pay $36, but it's SO worth it. Really. I love Scrivener.

Date: 2009-02-17 10:40 am (UTC)But it was a LIFESAVER for Nano, I probably wouldn't have broken 15k without it. As it stands, I got 28k (though most of it's crap).

Apparently I do not have your "In the Zone" icon, or the one you had at one point. So you get desires of nudity.
