Hello to new friends :D

-

So - I am doing Nanowrimo this year - I have the epic project of doom that I have been failing to do for an age (and signed up to do for bigb bangs only to fail and drop out *face palm*) but I am finally motivated to get it done.

This means the next month is going to be plotting and planning out (it's.....bigger than nano size? as a total thing? but I figure using nano to get going is a good plan). I'm casting the OCs (I did not, sadly, actually realize that there are no blind actors/actresses? I knew there were deaf actors/actresses, and a range of other disabled peeps in the industry, but I honestly never knew this :/ - and I never looked before, despite my 'why is auggie played by a seeing guy' mini rant back when covert affairs started)

Let me know if you're taking part as well :)

-

I'm away this weekend (well - friday-tuesday) at a Convention, and visiting museums (because the cheap trains are stupid times, so I am using it to expand it to museums and convention).

Going mostly for exhibitions (Fire of London, sunken cities, clangers!) - might poke other museums other than those three as well - still a few I haven't explored in London!

I am hoping it will cool off a little (I am now into the 'it has been too hot and humid for too long and nose bleeds allllll the time' stage :/ Not fun, espec the random while driving one.)

-
TV-
I am trying to figure out if there is going to be any more George Gently (One of the few tv shows I am actively engaged in enough to watch live/when airs first) - but can find nothing :(

I am excited for The Librarians season three - and I am enjoying Wynonna Earp season one, so season two will be watched (with parents, as they both enjoy 'buffy with a gun') - and there's Luke Cage.

I will probably, in the end, but after it airs, watch season 12 of Criminal Minds (because all the girls and a better racial balance than almost forever). Other stuff - I will be poking for Supergirl to see what it's like, and Conviction, along with a few others shows I may give a go.

Am still behind on my Nanowrimo word count (to the point that I'm refusing to update my word count on the site until I get at least 15,000 words done *g*)- I blame uni though *g*

Have just gotten back from a trip to see my supervisor (during and following which there was mocking of my friend who came with - Orkney isn't one of those places you want to visit in the New Year - unless you're used to the harsher weather up there - which said friend from south-east england isn't).

( behind which I go on a little about my Oxford field trip.. )

Am close to having reliable internet now (she says having typed this entry in notepad prior to posting once internet came back *g*)
*crosses fingers....and toes* so should be around a bit more.

So - still waiting on permanent internet - so may still have issues in the next week or so - also - if I didn't answer comments from the last week/s it's because hotmail and LJ are no longer speaking - so I wasn't getting my notifications - but it's all fixed now, as luckily I have another non-hotmail email address.

Am still trying to decide on my Nanowrimo fic - all I can say now is that it will be fandom related. Besides that, can't make any promises.

At the moment the main two contenders are - a Battlestar Galactica/Stargate cross that I doubt will make the 50,000 words and Inspired the Buffy/Stargate idea that could, given a proper storyline idea run well over 50,000 words.

I may, however, do something completely different. *g*

Am half way though watching Battlestar Galactica season 3 now - am liking it - but not as much as I liked the mini series to season 2 - am not sure why though.

Okay - so our internet is now sorted out in the house *dances* so hopefully I won't have any more issues getting online.

I've finished one of my ficathon pieces - but I'm still working on the other one reel_sg1 - much to my shame - I may end up only posting the stuff done so far - but we'll see (especially as it's late already *winces* - but there's a ten day grace period....)
I've also signed up for another challenge - due on the 20th oct - but I'm not going to say anything else about that - you'll just have to wait and see what it is *grins*

It's carson_daniel's 1st birthday friday *yay* and we do have a few members now - but not enough to make a huge thing of it - next year however, I plan to do a small collection of challenges :D

In other news - Nanowrimo - I have considered doing it a few times before, but never have - but as charlies_dragon is doing it I figured I would as well, to keep her company and ensure that at least one other person is also going insane. *g*
However - I can't decide what to do - it's going to be a 50,000 word novel (rather than ficlets) - but I'm not sure which of the plot bunnies to take up for it! So, my next post will be a poll - with a short description of the each of the ideas.
