Various things

[thisbluespirit]

I'm feeling a little better (ish, more maybe feeling better about not feeling better?) but I haven't been posting so much, as I've still been tired. Also some of the things I would talk about are Yuletide research and things. (Isn't it always the way?)

But my assignment now has words in my notebook! Several pages of them, even. They need to get out of there and onto the computer, but, all being well(ish), that should be okay at this point. I have mostly defeated the complicated overlong treat, I think.


Anyway, some things:

* fandom_stocking has opened for sign-ups! Just fill out a form, get a 'stocking' hung up, and people will put nice fannish bits & bobs in it. You can put nice things in other people's too. It's almost guaranteed not to open on time, but it's usually a lot of fun.

* genprompt_bingo is opening for Round 15! I still have a Round 14 card I'm working on, but it's one of my favourites. (The prompts are gen, but the fills can be shippy or gen or whatever as you please.)


In the meantime, I have mostly been amusing myself when tired by making pretty S&S element-things for tumblr, which I think helped on the being more cheerful front. Either that or despairing a lot on Weds, or both, most probably.

I've very much enjoyed your S&S element-things...

Glad you're sort of feeling a bit better.

[thisbluespirit]

Aw, thanks!

Btw, talking of the S&S things, I've been trying to include a quote in them where I can, but I can't find any by or about Ruby no matter how much I Google. Not to worry if it would be too much trouble, but I think you have her audios? I would be v grateful if it was possible for you to snaffle a quote by her or something any character says about her.

[persiflage_1]

Welcome.


Actually I was literally just thinking yesterday of doing an S&S relisten, so yes, I can give 'Water Like Stone', 'Cruel Immortality' and 'Water Like Stone' first priority.

[thisbluespirit]

Aw, cool, you're a star! <3 Just anything that's particularly her, either said about her character and abilities, or by her would be lovely.

[persiflage_1]

On it!!

I've only had time to listen to 'Water Like Stone' so far, but I picked out the following:

Ruby: Lovely timbre, don't you think?
Steel: It's a bell, Ruby.
R: Oh Steel, Steel, Steel. As literal as ever. How Sapphire puts up with you, I have no idea.
S: It's her choice.
R: Yes, and I suppose I understand it. In a way. You're a tough nut just waiting to be cracked.
S: Don't be absurd.

Ruby sings while taking time back.

Arthur Bunnings, looking deep into Ruby's eyes: You're like a note. A musical note. No! A resonance. Like the sound you have in your head, in your dreams. That's you. That's incredible.


I'll listen to the other two audios tomorrow...

[thisbluespirit]

Oh, thanks! That's great! Both of them, and the second will work perfectly for the thingumy! I can post it! \o/

[persiflage_1]

Glad I could help!

Glad you're feeling at least better-ish. And yay for words in notebook. That's more than my Yuletide assignment has. Though I've done the canon review and know fairly well what I'm writing, and I intend to start on it as soon as I finish the last of the deadline-before-that things. Which would still put me at a way better schedule than I was the previous years, so I'm not too worried. Of course, depends on how many treats I end up wanting to write for things and how sucked I get up in a) fannish stockings and b) my own original stuff, which should probably be prioritized higher. Though the original stuff still needs research research research.

[thisbluespirit]

Words in a notebook feel much better than not, although, as ever, they were shinier in my head. Funny how that happens!

Good luck with your own stuff! It sounds as if you're on track, so that's fine. I just would quite like to write at least one more short treat if I could, so...

[dbskyler]

Hooray for feeling better, words in a notebook, and a complicated, overlong treat that is mostly defeated!

I know what I'm writing for Yuletide now too. It's a great feeling, isn't it?

[thisbluespirit]

Thank you!

I know what I'm writing for Yuletide now too. It's a great feeling, isn't it?

Woo, hurrah! And, yes, yes, it is. Good for both of us! :-D

I'm glad you feel better... or feel better about not feeling better. {{hugs}}

At least you're not my mother, who has a history of falling, fell the day after Thanksgiving in the USA, and broke a hip. At least I'm not trying to take care of her myself anymore, just trying to make certain she gets decent care -- which I'm not sure it is, if she continues to have too many opportunities to fall. ...arrggh...

I was just thinking about Fandom Stocking the other day. Unsure I should put a stocking up. I dare say everyone's into Whittaker's Doctor this year, whereas I still just want some good fanfic for Capaldi's. Always out of step, hah.

[thisbluespirit]

Aw, thank you. I'm sorry about your mother. *hugs*

And, hey, I shall, as ever, be asking for things from the 70s, so I don't think asking for the previous Doctor is really going to be a problem! While I am sure there will be people asking for Thirteen, it doesn't mean nobody will want to do any Twelve fills.

I'm debating whether I should sign up for another card, or make myself wait until I've finished my current one. I have two more squares to do. I know what I want to do for one of them, I just need to find the time and brainpower to write it. Still no clue with the other one, probably because it feels like a plot prompt, and we all know how bad I am with plot. :)

Ah, who am I kidding? I probably will just grab a new card, anyway.

Also, glad if you're feeling a little better, even if it is only just a little bit.

[thisbluespirit]

The fandom bingo law. *nods*

Good luck with both the old one and the probably inevitable new one! Plot is very inconvenient sometimes, ("I'm writing a ficlet self, this would take like 10,000 words to even begin, stop it!!")

And thanks. <3

I'm glad you're feeling a bit better and stuff is happening on the YT front.

I'm working on getting a line for my last genprompt bingo card and then drawing a line on my last three cards and getting a fresh one.

[thisbluespirit]

Yes, I won't be happy till I have typed up words, but this is more promising than before, although I've no reached the point of thinking it's rubbish, but hopefully it is just that point and not that it is...

I'm sure it's not rubbish and just Yuletideness!

Thanks:) Two squares to go!

[sallymn]

Wishing for more and more feeling better!

Thank you!
