Date: 2013-02-23 05:06 pm (UTC)Projects To Be Worked On: Snarry-a-Thon and an overdue charity fic. Some Original Fiction as well, if I can harass my co-author into it.
Other Goals (get characters to hook up, find a way to work in some smut/angst/fluff, reach a certain plot point, whatever)? I absolutely MUST finish the second scene of Thon, and the last of the rewrites on the charity fic.
Anything To Share (flailing, requests for butt-kicking, pep-talks, etc.)? I share inspiration with everyone in the form of this lovely .gif

Date: 2013-02-23 05:06 pm (UTC)Projects To Be Worked On: New H/D. No fests; just a prompt I want to work on.
Other Goals (get characters to hook up, find a way to work in some smut/angst/fluff, reach a certain plot point, whatever)? Get H and D muddy, angry, and into the shower for rough sex. \o/
Anything To Share (flailing, requests for butt-kicking, pep-talks, etc.)? Just that I haven't even finished my first cup of coffee, so it's going to be a few hours before I even get one word down. ::yawn:: Go, guys, go! Thanks for doing this. :-)

Date: 2013-02-23 05:14 pm (UTC)Projects To Be Worked On: HD mpreg fic, paperlegends, 00Q BB
Other Goals (get characters to hook up, find a way to work in some smut/angst/fluff, reach a certain plot point, whatever)? right now I don't know what to do with my paperlegends fic because I started it with Merthur as the main pairing in mind but I rewatched Merlin third season and now I got all these gwaine/merlin feels and I so want to write them so much. my HD mpreg fic needs to get its shit together or I'm only writing the massive fight and make up scene and be done with it. ugh. as you see I'm stuck and frustrated and I just want to figure things out.
Anything To Share (flailing, requests for butt-kicking, pep-talks, etc.)? on totally unrelated note, I'm going to see Patrick Wolf live tonight so I've been doing a massive faliling (ohgodi'msoexcited) and will not be able to write today. ♥
