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?

Yuletide
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.

Critical Role: Campaign 4, Episode 9
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).

Dear Platonic Ideal Creator,
First of all, relax! I'm far from being picky, and I can pretty much guarantee that I'll love whatever you decide to create for me. These are nothing but guidelines, for you to take to heart or ignore to your heart's content. Also, hey! You're writing me fic or drawing me art! That's automatically a good reason for me to love you, no matter what. So, please, keep that in mind. Trust me, you can pretty much do no wrong. ♥
