dude, these hos been zombified  
Ahoy there, Internets! Check me out, taking a break from my tightly-packed schedule of work, school, cartoons, panic, and way too much sleep to actually come say hi to you. Did you miss me :D?

:(

Currently I'm trying to decide whether to write for [info]polybigbang; luckily I found out about it reasonably soon and have till next weekend to sort this out. I had an OT3 fic I was thinking of writing anyway; the problem is that it would be set in a historical era that wasn't exactly known for coping well with diversity of any sort. Doing the fic right would involve an insane amount of difficulty-- in terms both of having to do a ton of research (I have eleven library books out just to help me decide whether to write it) and of having to write at least ten thousand words about how incredibly shitty people can be to other people. The fic would probably get written sooner or later, and I think I could pull it off; the question is whether I'm able and willing to get a draft of it finished in the next two and a half months.

So yeah! That's fun. Kind of. In a really depressing but oddly exciting way.

In the meantime, I'm still creaking away at a fic split between the 1970s and the 19mumbles, researching this potential [info]polybigbang set in the 1950s, working on classical Greek costuming for a final for school, probably apping to [info]butwhatwemake which is set in 2018, pondering returning to a couple of original things which are set in (entirely separate) far futures, and rereading Cryptonomicon, which is split between the 1940s and 1990s and has a trilogy of prequels set around the turn of the 18th century. I don't actually know how many separate time periods I can deal with intelligently at one time, but I guess I'm going to find out. Halp.

In conclusion: DO WANT.

I'm leaning towards at least signing up, right now, and if the deadline looks hopeless I can always drop out. What fandom are you signed up for :O

If the OT3 fic you're talking about is the one I think it is, then lol. lol lol lol. D: Also: hot. But mostly lol. D: I would say don't feel pressured to take on (what you might consider) too much work just to get involved in a fic challenge.


FINISH YOUR OTHER FIC FOR THE LOVE OF ZAC EFRON: GOD.

THESE ARE NOT THE OT3 YOU ARE LOOKING FOyes, yes, it totally is, and stop D:ing at me >>>:( I told you there would be a lot of fail to navigate around. And signing up for things is so satisfying :(

THE OTHER FIC IS GETTING FINISHED, OKAY. AND EVENTUALLY ITS FIVE MILLION SEQUELS. Whether I sign up for the Big Bang or back-burner the thing is going to depend a whole lot on how close to finished that fic is in another week. And on other things relating to preparation for the OT3-fic itself, but still.

Oh noooo. People on my flist need to stop pimping big bangs. /o\ I would totally, totally sign up for this if I hadn't signed up for [info]startrekbigbang, which has nearly the same deadline. BUT YOU SHOULD DO IT.

I just finished reading Cryptonomicon for the billionth time, and am now about midway through Quicksilver. Neal Stephanson is a god. and extremely wordy god set on wooing my history loving heart forever and ever.

I saw you posting about it! :D That was what gave me the idea to reread them, actually-- I haven't had time since high school but I spend a ton of time on the bus lately.
