i've no idea what i am talking about

[heathershaped]

* Today's been good. I have nothing planned except to watch the Oscars, so I wouldn't exactly call it exciting, but just ... it's nice not having anything pressure-ful to do. XD

* I caught up with the last ep of Being Human which was AMAZING; seriously, you should all be watching. Only one episode left. And I posted a set of icons from 1x04 that I made last night. It's kind of hard to color those caps, but I found a nice way I think.

* Oh, and my hp_springsmut fic is pwned (why yes, I did finish the fucking in the fic). Two more exchange fics left for this season. I was really tempted by weasleyfest, but I'd already bit off a bit too much with hp_spring_fling and hp_rarities. :( No more doing three and four exchanges at a time. Yeah. I love them, but I've recently realised how nice it is being able to write something just because I want to, rather than just filling a request, so I want to give myself more time to do that.

* Merlin fic! I'm sort of incredibly nervous to start writing in this fandom, but it's really difficult to watch the show and NOT want to write about it. The characters are just so writeable. (And this is apparently the post where I make up words). I did some teenyfics for the Vag Fest, which was fun -- I might do one or two more before it ends today. And I want to try some of the Gen Battle prompts. There are some good Merlin and Harry Potter ones, and that one ends next Friday. Also, I'm tempted to put my hat in for boxofmagic because Arthur/Merlin is nice, but there needs to be more Gwen and Morgana fic, and so few people have signed up to write it. *nods and nudges people* Still, it's a rather huge writing commitment, so I need to think on it more. XD

* I'm off to do some beta work, maybe try another teenyfic, and put together a Merlin squee/rec list out of my del.icio.us bookmarks because I finally have TIME.

♥ Hugs to everyone who need them today -- oh, and hay new friends!

Yay for pwning the hp_springsmut fic! I need to get back to my hp_rarities assignment myself, but I've been procrastinating. But it's started, so that something. :-)

*hugs* back, just for the hell of it.

You're further along than me! I haven't even got a clue what I'm writing about yet. Or whom I'm writing about, even. The due date's really far away, though, so I'm happy about that. *g*

[writersblock76.livejournal.com]

Well, by "started" I mean "have written a couple of paragraphs." *g* I, however, was not able to resist the allure of weasley_fest, so it would probably be best if I got crackin' on the other.

I'm only signing up for one at a time. Till new shiny pretty comes along. Just too hard. :D

[heather11483.livejournal.com]

Haha, it's so hard to resist the shiny pretty.

I've told myself that time and time again about exchanges, how nice it would be writing something that's not for somebody and not on a deadline. It never sticks. It's rearing it's ugly head again this time though and reminding of one of the problems; all the pieces I'm writing for exchanges require smut save one, and I'm just not in the mood to include it *snort*. Good for you on springsmut. I'm not done that one. Funny thing is, I've got an idea for hp_rarities, but of course it's last in the queue. Who knows if it will work out in the end though anyway, it usually doesn't. /ends rambling about own struggles.

Gen fic-fest looks fun, and more up my alley then the porn fest was...but so much to come before it first... *wants time off* Hope you can get some mini fics churned out :)

I think I'm really going to have to check out Merlin sometime soon. The constant squee all around livejournal seems overwhelming. You should put up a link to your rec list when you do it - I'm lazy and get annoyed sorting through the crap slush pile sometimes, ha. Then again, I think that entire fandom is pretty much slash/femmeslash, is it not?

I've only seen up to 1x04 of BH so far, but I'm really enjoying it overall. Mostly because of George and his storylines if I'm honest.

You always churn out awesome stuff for exchanges! Whatever you do will be epic. XD

Yeah, I didn't really end up writing any actual PORN for the battle; the rules said it could be sex, or just sexy. XD And the gen battle I haven't written for yet, so we'll see which prompts talk.

I'm going to post my recs tomorrow! Seriously, I wish more of my flist were into Merlin -- it manages to be both completely ridiculous and weirdly awesome at the same time. It's one of those shows that isn't the greatest ever in terms of writing (see, oh, ANY British fantasy franchise I can think of for examples) but has AMAZING potential for fanfiction and character development and is oddly addictive. I thought so, anyway. *g* (Oh, and shallowly, it's pretty.)

Most of the fandom IS slash, and while I like Arthur/Merlin well enough I wouldn't call myself a slasher, so finding other pairings is tricky (hence why I want to s start writing some myself). But there's more diversity popping up all the time, and a bunch of het ships, so my recs will be mostly that and some femslash and maybe a little RPF, oh god. I'm as much a multishipper in Merlin as I am in HP, unsurprisingly. *g*
