And I said hello, can you help me; do you know what I'm doing, can you tell me where I'm bound?

I woke up today and couldn't breathe through my nose. Marginally better now after taking some allergy meds, but I still feel icky for some reason. I'm already bracing for today to be one of those days, but maybe the universe will prove me wrong.

writerinadrawer voting closes tomorrow. The prompt this round was hard for most of us, and it shows in the writing - it's technically okay, for the most part, but my reaction to a lot of the stories was that I just didn't care. Still, there were two or three I did enjoy in there (and I think I would have liked mine too, were it not... mine), and if you can manage to vote, that would be awesome. There's apparently a tie or two right now. The stories are here and here, and the voting post is here. Bonus points for guessing which is mine! (I don't think it'll be hard - I feel like I was particularly obvious this round.)

I also signed up for tw_bigbang, so that starletfallen and I can write the post-Children of Earth thing that has been floating around in our heads. This may be a mistake, with WIAD going on at the same time... but we'll see. Maybe the fact that we're cowriting it will help. My real concern, at the moment, is about the structure I want, and whether it really works for a Big Bang fic.

I'm in kind of a mood today. Not a "hate the world and everyone in it" mood, which is nice for a change, but... I don't know. I feel like something bad is going to happen soon, and I really don't like waiting for it. Eli's coming.

Overbooking one's self on writing is something I'm familiar with. Granted, two of them are co-written, but I have like TWO MONTHS and NOTHING is started. Fail. I keep hoping that once I get going, it'll work itself out.

*snuggle*

Blargh. We can be overcommitted and flaily together! Or something.

*SNUGS* Eli better fucking stay where he is, goddammit. Or I'll punt a bitch. Especially after the suck that was last week.

I have a feeling that I guessed yours this round, which is fun, because I haven't guessed right for the last two rounds. XD

...This icon has no actual meaning. I'm not planning on killing you or anyone else... BUT I DO LOVE YOU. ♥

[allfireburns.livejournal.com]

XD I am sure that the fear of Chris will keep Eli in his place. You're pretty terrifying when you want to be.

And now I'm curious. Both about which ones you thought were mine BEFORE, and which one you guessed this round. (Though if you got it wrong this round, I will be sitting here going "Really, Chris? Really? Come on now, you know me...") *Resists the urge to IM*

THANK YOU FOR NOT PLOTTING MY DEATH. IT MEANS A LOT TO ME.

[kawaiispinel.livejournal.com]

RAWR. I AM FIERCE.

I actually don't remember which ones I thought were yours the last time, but I KNOW I felt dumb about last rounds. XD I kept going, "...Chris, there wasn't even another story where Jack was STANDING ON TALL THINGS AT THE END." SOMETIMES I AM REALLY DUMB.

WELL, IF WE GO BY THE IMPLICATION IN THE ICON, IT JUST MEANS THAT IF I WERE PLOTTING TO KILL YOU, I'D KILL YOU LAST, BUT REALLY, THAT'S KIND OF DUMB. IF I REALLY LOVED YOU, I'D KILL YOU FIRST.

...I mean, really. I always thought "I'll kill you last" is the WORST THREAT. "AFTER EVERYONE ELSE YOU LOVE IS DEAD, I WILL KILL YOU."

Yes, I am debating the logic of an icon.

[allfireburns.livejournal.com]

Ahahaha. For all of my ranting about Jack standing on tall things... that never actually got into the story. SOMETIMES I FAIL TOO.

Well, I don't know. Maybe it's a long, spread-out killing spree. Over many years. Maybe I am willing to sacrifice my loved ones for my continued survival. MAYBE I'M ON NOBODY'S SIDE.

...yeah, I really don't know either.

And clearly I cannot has chat today, because AIM keeps FREEZING. Tell chat I love them. (And would not sacrifice them for my continued survival. Probably.)

[kawaiispinel.livejournal.com]

Oh really? ...I think I counted the platform in the Hub as a tall thing. XD

*DIES LAUGHING* I love you. AND I AM SORRY AIM KEEPS FREEZING. I WILL BEAT IT INTO SUBMISSION FOR YOU. *CLINGS FOREVER*

I've heard that... re: the lack of "I care" about the fic this round, and see that myself. Maybe the signs for WIAD were so sort of... cracky that it was hard to write around that?

I can't vote...I beta'ed. But good luck!

[allfireburns.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I really think it was the prompt that was the problem. Especially for people like me, who have... issues writing cracky fic? And I know a lot of writers didn't get started until really late in the week because it was so hard to come up with ideas, so that probably had some sort of effect too.

I really hope I managed to get around that problem re: not caring in my own fic, but it's hard to look at my own fic objectively and tell. :/ Thank you, though!
