st_aurafinaWow, you guys are so busy in LJ world, I can barely keep up with my flist. Every time I skip 20, I find myself looking at the same page, because there's been 20 posts in the time it took me to read 20 posts.
My Yuletide fic is done and betaed once. Now I'm looking for a fandom-specific beta which is proving a little problematic. But the fic is done and I think it's not going to need huge plot shifts or anything. And on the plus side, my search for a beta made me brave the #yuletide IRC chat room, which was a much less scary process than I thought it would be. It didn't net me a beta, but it was a positive experience.
And I still can't let go of NaNo. Now that I'm free of the time limit, I'm cheerfully writing the great and epic love story of Edgar (gay Edwardian accountant) and Louis (hopeful gold prospecter from Canton, angry about his vampire existence). It is great and epic. And look at this: yet another story from our local paper, about a Warrnambool man killed in WWI, whose father sailed from Canton in the 1850s to prospect for gold. Same time, same place as Louis! I did my research, and so far, it's holding up. I really like the way it all slots together.
We're going to see Twilight on Monday. It's our only window of opportunity before school breaks up, and we have hordes of teenagers to contend with. We had this problem with the Harry Potter films - their release almost always coincided with a lot of teachers scratching their heads and wondering what they can do for the last week of school, and deciding that going to the movies is a good and relevant thing. I'm quite excited. I want to read reviews without fear of spoilers.![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
lilacsigil has been happily spoilered, and sits next to me chortling and chuckling while she reads reviews, and I'm jealous. But I will keep my mind pure and unspoiled. Like Edward. And my enjoyment will completely overwhelm the fear I have of the looming dental appointment the next day. Yes. It will.
This reminds me of a thing I saw while cruising around Twilight comms:
Hey, Sorry to be a post hog but how do you guys say Carlisle?
I think its Car-lizle...- I know its wierd but that's just how it turned out when I read it.
And my friend said it was Carl-ise so the second L was silent...
In our house, Carlisle (who is my favourite character) is forever known as Car-lizle. It's so badass.
*sighs* This post is brought to you largely by PMT-related lack of concentration.
