i feel stupid, and contagious

Pardon me if the answers to these questions are easy to find, lol, BUT:

+ Does anyone know when assignments would go out approximately? Because whatever I write will need writing before the 18th due to me not being home between then and Christmas, and if signups were going out Dec 1 or something, that might make things slightly complicated.

+ Relatedly, is it really possible to browse peoples' letters and just write whatever if you haven't done a regular signup - am I understanding that right?

eta: Thanks, Cel and Emei! ♥

So, I get one fic challenge off my plate (Ladies of Camelot challenge pwned! Woot!) and what do I do?

Well, sign up for another, of course. *headdesk*

I requested a prompt at femgenficathon. I didn't want to let that one pass me by this year. What with the characters I write in RP and everything, I usually write boys and I guess I assumed for a while that boys were the most comfortable for me to write (apart from Hermione, who I'm very comfortable with). But as I try more characters/pairings in HP as well as different fandoms, I find myself wanting to write the girls more. Which, yay, because I do love writing boys, but I love stories about women best of all.

They give four months to write a minimum of 1000 words, so I'm not overly worried about being able to get it done. But it's multifandom -- so I have to decide whether to write an HP fic or a Merlin fic for it. On the one hand, lots of girls to choose from for HP, but on the other, Gwen and/or Morgana gen, or Nimueh gen, needs to happen more. We'll see what talks, I guess. Or maybe I'll do a poll.

Anyway, go sign up! You pick a number from the list randomly, and the mod assigns you a quote as your prompt, from some notable woman in history. My prompt:

By the time we are women, fear is as familiar to us as air; it is our element. We live in it, we inhale it, we exhale it, and most of the time we do not even notice it. Instead of "I am afraid," we say, "I don't want to," or "I don't know how," or "I can't." -- Andrea Dworkin (1946-2005), American radical feminist and author.

-- Being Human's been picked up for a second series. And we get 8 episodes instead of just six. *dances* Even though it's doing really well in the ratings, I honestly didn't know if it'd be back. I think I'll make another set of icons to celebrate. XD

*is obviously a complete dork*

-- moar TV rambling: Top Chef ended last night so there's a new winner. I don't want to talk about it. -_-' However, Damages was fabulous. I wish more people were into that show. I'm completely behind on Nip/Tuck (probably because it fairly sucks and has since about season 3, and I can't be arsed to remember to watch anymore). But I do need to catch up on Big Love, which is still awesome. And The Tudors is back really soon, but I honestly don't know how good it'll be without Anne. Surely it'll still be pretty, though, and as always that's reason enough to watch.

-- I'm nervous and excited about thelittlebang and boxofmagic, and maybe one other that I may or may not be tossing around ideas for with a couple people, we'll see. I'm going to be writing my ass off this spring/summer. Which, overall, is good. *nod*

So in the spirit of that -- Buttons:





Hope everyone's having a good day. ♥

So, I have other fics to write, of course, and loads of RP to do, but I had an urge to claim this the other day for 7spells, so, uh, I did. Also managed to tempt inell into claiming one, too.

Anyway, here's my prompt table:

7spells HP Fanfiction Challenge Author: heather11483 Character/Pairing: Hermione/Sirius

1. Electric shock

2. Disheveled

3. Candle in the window

4. New every morning

5. Draw the line in the sand

6. So shaken as we are

7. Anachronism

Progress: 0/7

Wish me luck! Also have hghpficexchange and hp_summersmut left to write, so yeah.

Hope everyone on the f-list is doing well and had a good week. *hugs*
