Now that we're getting closer and closer to golive, I've been narrowing down my bookmarks on the app for potential treats to try to get written. I'd originally included some fandoms that I could write for if I found the time to re-read/re-watch/etc. the fandom in question, but the odds of me finding the time to fit any more canon reviews in is slim to none at this point.

So I've taken out those fandoms and left the ones that I know that I'd be able to write without having to do a proper review beforehand. Because, you know, that would get it down to a reasonable number of options to choose from, right? Right?

... yeah, it's still at 161. I'm way too multifannish even with rare fandoms. 🙃

Continuing on my previously posted thoughts about episode 1x06, I just finished watching episode 1x07.

Spoilers under the cut. )

Yes, I'm well aware what time it is. I couldn't sleep, though, so I figured I might as well accomplish something while I was wide awake at 3am.

Weekend Plans

Okay, let's figure out my plans for the weekend, shall we?

All of my big bills (hotel, storage unit, phone, PO Box) have already been paid, so unless something very unexpected happens I don't have to worry about any major expenses the rest of the year other than a vet bill on the 29th. So that's definitely something to be happy about, as it means I can focus on other things this weekend.

I think my plan is to get up tomorrow morning and do my usual weekend cleaning. That way, I can get all of those things done first thing. I'll wash clothes, do some vacuuming/dusting/mopping/etc., and then hopefully by mid-afternoon I'll be free to work on other things.

By which I mainly mean writing as many fics for Yuletide as I possibly can, to be fair. That said, I still need to watch this week episode of both The Mighty Nein and Critical Role, so I'd like to get that done tomorrow as well.

That way I can spend pretty much all of Sunday writing. 🤞🏻

Yuletide: The Last Update (For Now)

All fics that were due today have been posted! One of them might have been right down the wire, but it was posted on time so that's all that matters.

I'm giving it a rest until tomorrow, and then I'll go over them again to tweak a few things and maybe add one more scene to one of them. And then I can work on more Yuletide fics! Because it's me, and I'm bound and determined to write as many as I can possibly fit in before the archive goes live next week.

Once more with Yuletide...

Okay, we're right at 16 hours to the deadline, so now I'm starting to feel a bit of pressure as I try to get things finished up.

I had a headache this morning and took off work to stay curled up in bed until close to lunchtime, so my sleep schedule is completely messed up again. Which, in this case, is probably a good thing, as I honestly tend to do better writing at night than during the day. My plan is to stay up until at least 2-3am working on finishing up my fic(s) or, at least, getting them to a point where they'd be considered a properly finished work if I were to get hit by a bus before I could get back to them to make additions.

I'm sure that I'll end up spending some more time tweaking things over the next week, cleaning things up and maybe adding some extra scenes depending on just how much my muse decides to cooperate tonight. Still, the important thing is getting everything finished.

So... I guess we'll see how it goes?

The deadline is officially in less than 48 hours at this point. I'm not quite at the point where I'm properly worried yet, but that may be coming by this time tomorrow depending on how much fic writing I'm able to get done between phone calls at work tomorrow.

Still, I try to save the proper panic for the minus 12 hours and counting point, so I still have plenty of time before that arrives. It's fine. Compared to some previous years, I'm doing significantly better already.

RIP Rob Reiner

The news broke a little while ago that Rob Reiner and his wife were found dead in their home.

Based on several articles, it looks like it's being investigated as a possible (or maybe probable would be the better word if the rumors some sites are reporting are true?) homicide.

The Joining Exchange, a Dragon Age exchange focusing on Grey Wardens that just started this year, went live a little while ago. I got not one, not two, but three lovely gifts this year!

First up is Something Out Of The Ordinary, set during Dragon Age: Inquisition and featuring Alistair/Cullen Rutherford/Female Surana. 23,267 words.

Next is L’Hymne à L’Amour, set prior to Dragon Age: The Veilguard and featuring Antoine/Evka Ivo. 3,142 words.

And then there's in on it, set after Dragon Age: The Veilguard and featuring Antoine/Ashur | The Viper/Evka Ivo/Tarquin. 1,539 words.

Critical Role: Campaign 4, Episode 9

[personal profile] settiai
I started this past Thursday night's episode of Critical Role before crashing at the break because I desperately needed sleep as I knew that work would be hell on Friday. And then, to the shock of no one, I didn't manage to finish the episode yesterday because work was, in fact, hell.

So let's pick up again now that it's properly the weekend, shall we?

As with previous posts about the current campaign of Critical Role, this will be a combination of quotes, random thoughts, and some speculation. And it's obviously full of spoilers (albeit vague ones in places).
