Finish-a-thon

WIP folder stuffed to bursting? Need an extra prod and some general encouragement to get things done?

travels_in_time is holding a 'finish-a-thon' to help you out! Sign up with three of your WIPs, wait to see which one wins the 'finish this one!' vote then get writing. It's a great idea for getting that little bit of extra support/prodding that we all need sometimes for stories that just don't seem to want to come together.

So go sign up over here and here's hoping some good stories come out of it!

Busy doing nothing

Gosh it's quiet around here today. Other half is working and LJ's spookily quiet. I'm still bouncing significantly from reading xparrot's On the wings of imagination, which is a wonderful SGA AU, and pitch-perfect 'Dragonriders of Pern'. It's beautiful and funny and warm and right in all the important ways. I'm really, really hoping there'll be more, and keep reminding myself that I mustn't write it. For one, it's her ficverse, for another, it's too long since I read the books, and for another, I don't have the time. Absolutely not. Uh-uh. *wibble*

I have a really long list of stuff to do, but crossing chores off is so satisfying:

Clear table of stuff
Clear bed of stuff
Washing
Ironing
Bring decoration boxes up from garage
Take down Christmas tree
Take stuff down to garage
Recycle cardboard
Hoover
Dust
Washing up
Packing list (we're away next week - woo hoo)
Write meta
Read crystalshard's story
Read asrai99 story (which is embarrassingly overdue - sorry :S)

I'll update as I get through things. For now, it's lunchtime and SGA time. *bounce* I'm not sure which I'm more excited about. It would be Atlantis, but I'm really hungry...
