Creative stuff

I've decided the best way to keep on top of my writing but not get overwhelmed is to work out some sort of routine (because I am anal and plan stuff like this) and also to rotate my two main fandoms. Something like this

Merlin fic
Merlin icons
Smallville fic
Smallville icons

Obviously if challenges come up or there's a bunny that HAS to be written I can always break the routine but at least this way I'll always have something to work on.

I have 3 Smallville WIPs that I started last year that are first on the agenda for completion, as well as my Merlin RPS fic that I will now be writing because yavannauk pouted at me. And I've also got my 10_hurt_comfort table to complete so don't worry about me having left the Smallville fandom. There will be lots from me this year, I promise.

The Merlin fic I'm working on at the moment seems to have evolved. When I first had the idea it was just going to be a couple of missing scenes but has now developed a plot of its own and is turning into a re-writing of big chunks of 1x13 to make it slashy. I'm at 2000 words and Arthur has only just woken up. LOL.

ROFL

In 2009, hils resolves to...

Tell my family about icons.
Stop reading with petzipellepingo.
Take evening classes in pizza.
Give up pancakes.
Cut down on my travelling.
Connect with my inner sawyer.

Get your own New Year's Resolutions:

Cut down on my travelling? NOOOOOOOOOO!

And I don't even want to think about what having an inner Sawyer involves...

Dreams

There is a definite theme with my dreams at the moment

Last night I had a dream that me, Bradley, Colin, Anthony Head and a couple of other people were the new Torchwood team. Captain Jack was there too.

Colin got kidnapped and Bradley and I had to go and rescue him, although Bradley then got captured too and brainwashed which just made him mean (a bit like Arthur in the first episode of Merlin). Anyway, it transpired that while Bradley was trying to get into acting he decided to try releasing a pop song and I managed to get hold of it (on cassette for some reason) but it got destroyed in the explosion when we rescused him and Colin.

Somehow, while we were trying to rescue Bradley and Colin someone told him I was in love with him and he just laughed because he was brainwashed and mean. I was mortified though. Maybe I was Tosh and Bradley was Owen? I don't know.

Anyway when it was all over the Torchwood SUV turned up only it wasn't big enough for everyone so I offered to walk. On the way I found that Bradley's song was on sale in Woolworths so I tried to buy a copy but my debit card wasn't working because it had the wrong address listed against my name

Woke up before I could listen to the song.

Just curious

Hmm...I thought I'd do this for fun but it's massively out of date. None of my new flisters are even on there. Any idea how to update it?

Merlin Friending Meme

God, everyone in this fandom is SO YOUNG! I suppose this is the descent for me on the road to middle-age. I'm no longer a youngling *sob*

*waits for the inevitable point where I start crushing on someone young enough to be my son*

In unrelated (or mildly related news) I've set myself the target of getting my current Merlin fic finished before I go back to work on Monday, so I will be mostly writing today. Anyone available to do a beta if my usual one isn't free this weekend?

Holp

This may, in fact, be a silly question but when does that ever stop me. If I wanted to make a fanmix how do I go about doing that? Are there tutorials or anything? Or is it really easy and I'm just being a thicky?

Watched Jonathan Creek tonight. T'was good.

Baa!

Not being hugely into the Doctor Who fandom I'm not overly fussed about who replaces David Tennant. However, if it is The Marquis de Carabas then I will be happy ;)

When does Torchwood start again? That's much more important. And do we know who the new members of the team are going to be?
