jadesfire: Bright yellow flower (Text - Research)
I love getting my teeth into research for a new story. As promised to [livejournal.com profile] apiphile, 2009 is the year of the subplot, and I'm doing my best to construct one for my Big Bang. So far, I'm up to my ears in Arthurian legend, dragons, sedimentary rocks, Welsh poetry, Geoffrey of Monmouth, physics and the geography of North Wales. It's great! I also had one of those moments where you read something in research that you're pretty sure was put there just for you. Oh yes. Subplots, here I come...

When I'm not doing that, I've been clearing out some of my delicious links that I thought you might like.

My pick of the bunch:

Truly beautiful kinetic sculptures. I could watch them all day, and his own website could prove addictive.

And the rest:

Today, my sucky brain chemistry has prevented me from being awesome. I'm loving the irony of needing professional help and not being up to asking for it *sigh* One for tomorrow.

Also, whoever it was who wanted the 'Five motels that the boys never stayed in' fic, thank you. If anyone needs me, I'll be buried in the 8,000,000 motel tabs that I now have open.

*burrows happily*

Just a few bits and pieces that I've been meaning to post for a while:

For the Londoners among you (whether in exile or just passing through). Time Out London are holding a writing competition. 300 words about London, and the title must include the name of a real London street. Full details here.




For the artists among you. [livejournal.com profile] tardis_bigbang needs you!

Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket

We really need more artists to sign up for the Big Bang challenge. Even if we only get half the number of stories that have been proposed, we're still about 30 artists short. I know a lot of you are already signed up as writers, but if you think you're going to be done early, or feel like taking on a double challenge, why not sign up for art as well? It doesn't have to be an epic video - cover art, sketches and anything else you feel like doing are more than welcome!

Sign-ups don't close til March, so you've got lots of time to think about it!




For the clever people among you. What happens to colours when you shine a blue light on them? Blue's presumably going to stay blue, but what about green? Or flesh colours? Or any other colours, come to that? Enquiring minds need to know...
