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.

No I'm not dead ;) - I've not been around for a little while due to being ill (am now back to loving food - food is good *nods solemnly*) - and now I'm off to Scotland *whistles*

We're spending a week near Newton Stewart (which is close to Castle Douglas...) and charlies_dragon is coming with *yay* - am currently working on my tardis fic edits in the time I've got until her coach is due.


Once i'm back I still won't be too active for a little bit - Tardis fic will be done though so \o/ - I still have genderbend big bang to work on (which involves a lot more research...because I changed characters that I want to play with for it - it's still Torchwood related though - and Iona fic will be written including the epic!Iona.Tosh.Donna.Sarah Jane fic (why yes - i am insane).

I love writing Epic fics - I just don't love the editing quite so much - especially when I find something I mentioned then forgot that effects the whole plot *flails* - this is why the epic Carson/Daniel fic is still WIP, I went back to edit and review and discovered that the boys are rather horribly girly at points *winces*


ALSO LEVERAGE BIG BANG *points* signs up are open - for artists and writers - so if you're interested - run don't walk to thebigbangjob

*waves* I'll post random pictures of stones when I get back - promise (stone circles and chambered cairns and castles and....*does geeky dance*)

Have been very busy - today was my first day off since...the 8th
It's national Archaeology week this week - and I spent most of last week preparing the stuff for it - and since saturday doing the sessions with the kids (much of which I spent playing with glitter and clay *g*)
Tomorrow will be the middle day of my placement (25 days of work as a part of my degree programme) so only two and a half week to go.

No writing has been done *hangs head in shame* - but I shall be doing much in the coming weeks as I intend to get Hiding in Plain Sight done, along with the next two Stargate Pegasus episodes prior to getting my assignment for my first ever ficathon (am a little scared - but *fingers crossed* all will go well).

I have however been watching Star Trek The Next Generation (I brought season 4 and Generations the other week - and gave in today and ordered Seasons 5-7 and Insurrection - because I have a plot bunny and they're cheap at the mo) and my love for the show is stronger than ever.
It's sad though - watching it and realising just how much the Stargate writers have pulled from it *sighs*
Data is still my all time favourite Star trek character. *nods*

My results came today *finally* - and I am a little disappointed - but I passed so *shrugs* will just have to work really hard next year and make sure I get the 2:1 I need.

Anyhoo - once the work placement is done I will have two weeks before I head off with Da to visit Arran and the Mainland in order to get photos and visit sites for my dissertation. It looks to be an interesting trip.

Have now offically done my four weeks - my first archaeological dig -lol - it was both fun and educational, with a fair amount of annoyance. I now know and understand just why it is that excavations are seen as last resorts. If it was all archaeologists did? There would be many retiring early due to nervous breakdowns me thinks. lol.
Also, thursday night? eight eps of stargate atlantis in a row. Now all i need to do is see the rest of season 1 again. lol. Have also now watched the majority of the last disk of season 9 of stargate. My brain is kinda doing a 'meh' dance, and i'm really not sure what it think about them. Will see when i watch over again.
The new wicker man (saw it wednesday) was interesting - very very american. Not as good as the original through, which, must be watched again.....
Will be writing now. But not so much today, as am still recovering (ish) from waking up to find strange people in the flat - who have in fact returned, so the freak has begun again. I don't like waking up to find weird people who i don't know in the house. Slightly less hate if i've been told before hand. But as it stands? Am trying to recover from the panic attack. Not good :S. But oh well....
anyhoo - that be the update, such as it is.
