Maid Marian icons

[thisbluespirit]

I've no excuse for this, except my post a while back made me keep watching bits on YouTube and I thought 'that'd be fun to icon'. Except I have no DVDs and therefore, no screencaps, so went (appropriately) pillaging on Google... and retrieved all of... two relatively decent images. Neverthless, I amused myself and got 11 icons:

I can't answer this without being annoying, so shall be as irritating as possible, and tell how I LOLed at the idea that the weather was so bad you were going to wear trainers. Seriously, my 'ice rink' was not really an exaggeration. Were ice rinks lumpy and interrupted by roads. It snowed again last night, so not so icy again, but the ice is still there underneath - it feels weird, as though the snow fell on thick polythene a couple of inches down. Anyway, from what you say, you probably live somewhere pretty built up, so even in my seaside town, I am going to win on the snow front every time, so you should admit defeat now (or I'll bring in where I work, which I couldn't get to today for fear of having to abandon my car in a land the buses refuse to travel to - had to go to the Library instead and snaffle a pc there to do my work). We are trying for a literal interpretation of the bleak midwinter here. It's interesting, anyway. :-) I still haven't had a snowball fight or made a snowman, though - must do something about that...

Heh, yes, I had to drop out of my last two ficathons, which was why I kept clear of this one. I think I'm a little more reliable now, so risked signing up for Yuletide (I find I'm better when I'm writing a prompt for someone in these things). There were some lovely fics, though - yours included. Now that's done, maybe you can get the Eleven fic done (more of it would be nice), and on with the Great Work. ;-D

Oh, yes. I wrote most of it ages ago, but because it's a bit non-linear I couldn't do anything with it till I had it completely finished. I don't really expect anyone to have the patience to read it, but I enjoyed writing it. It is funny, tho', cos the idea started with me being flippant about having a fluffy (not literally) Silurian story out of our conversation about me not bothering to watch Cold Blood. Or be much interested in Silurians. :-)

Yes - TRAINERS! I can't compete on the snow front - but, seeing the reports from around the country, it's a "competition" I'm quite happy to lose. :D Snowing again today, though - where will it all end?! I think you need to work on the snowman/snowball front though. Yes, definitely.

Yes, need to get back to the Great Work...and kill off Eleven (not literally! Although...why live in fear of being jossed? XD). And I think I was entertaining delusions of writing Xmas fic at one point, too... But no, nothing as big and long-running as the Eleven fic for the foreseeable, once it's done, not until the first draft of the Bore is finished, at the least. By which time it will be called Project 2011, I suppose...

See, so I'm good for something. :D I am going to read it, though. Soon. Maybe at the weekend. Silurians are kind of rare in fic (probably for the reason that, as you say - what do you do with them?), so it'll be interesting to see what you do with them. And to see more of the epic Webber saga!

Today I went off to a place in the hills, as I do for work, when I can... and stepped in what I thought was a slope and actually turned out to be a big snowdrift... :loL: (But only knee deep - I didn't disappear forever in it, I hasten to add). :-) It is due to leave off the next couple of days, so we shall probably have slush and ice for a bit before the next round.

Kill off Eleven? 8-O (But I don't believe you - you like him too much!) Well, wonderful as any more fic from you is, your last Christmas one was marvellous but also epic, so it's probably wise! How about a Christmas drabble? There's an outside chance of me actually writing one now, which I had thought was out of the question, but it depends on many things, so maybe it'll get done for the Christmas after. (Lo, an opening line came to me on Sunday morning during the service: "It was already snowing heavily when the angel appeared in Little Dellington...") Yes, how is the great work progressing? (You could call it Project 2012 and claim you have a fully outlined Master Plan for it... That should give you some elbow room. Isn't it shocking how years go by before you've had a chance to stop them?)

I'm not sure it's worthy of being called a saga. All the Webbers are a bit too prosaic for that... :lol: Sadly, I am more in love with them than the Silurians, I warn you now if you wish to attempt it. And, yes it came out of that conversation - I suddenly thought that the one thing that hadn't been done with Silurians was a fluffy happy story in which everyone got along and there were baby Silurians and children and what have you. I wasn't being serious, but then it sort of ... grew. It had Seven and Ace in it for a bit (being inspired by you) but it did not wind up being that kind of a story at all, and there is no point having the Doctor if he actually has nothing whatsoever to do... :-)

Heh - see I will never have snow stories to compare to that... ;D The ice and the slush doesn't sound too appetising, though.

No, I'm probably not going to kill off Eleven... (Although it would be a silly thing to do, really, for a variety of reasons. ;D) The Bore is...sort of all right, but I need to concentrate on it more (well, duh, as they say!) It has been a shockingly short year, though. It can't have been 365 days really, can it?? Finishing the Eleven fic aside, any Xmas fic I write has to be done and dusted between now and Dec 24, I've decided, because after that is Bore Time, no more slacking.

Aw, fluffy happy Silurians... I look forward to reading it anyway, when I do get round to it, because Webber-love sounds pretty good too, really. :D

Apparently the snow is going west now, so you never know. You may already have one! Forget slush and ice - ours finished (for the moment, we trust) with an amazing blizzard in the middle of last night. It was ankle deep outside my house this morning, so we had more in one night than we managed all last (very snowy) weekend! Whoa. It's a nuisance, and a danger and cold, but when it's all snowy and white... :-D

[jjpor.livejournal.com]

Yes, the danger and the cold seems less important somehow when you're walking/falling over in a winter wonderland... XD We had more snow yesterday and overnight, so it looks like the weather forecast was right. But it's a warmer today (well, 2 degrees C, compared to -4 or whatever it was the other day), and it's started raining instead of snowing, which has had the effect of melting the stuff on the ground. So just as long as it doesn't all freeze again...

[thisbluespirit]

Ps> Go HERE. Okay? I mean, do I have to start throwing snowballs at you?

[jjpor.livejournal.com]

Hmm, there's a lot of recs... I owe them a few, don't I?? Seriously, it's something I've been meaning to do for a while, but haven't got round too. The thing is, a lot of my favourites on the Spoon are ones I've come to via Calufrax anyway, so they've already been recced...

[thisbluespirit]

:loL: I just thought you still sounded a mite down about your writing, which is ridiculous, given that Clocket and I are queueing to eat your brains when you don't need them so much, so thought maybe you needed a nice collection of compliments together! I know by now you're not really up for doing calufrax!

[jjpor.livejournal.com]

Aww...and here's me thinking it was a Subtle Hint... XD I'm clueless sometimes... Aw, that was very nice of you. I have been feeling a bit cheesed off lately, mainly with my inability to actually produce anything, but I have had a bit of a spurt over the last couple of weeks, as you've seen. Now to get the Bore back on track... But thanks for the thought - reading the comments over there has inflated my head back to its previous Zeppelin-like dimensions! XD

[thisbluespirit]

You should know by now that I'm never what you'd call subtle! :loL:
