Tea break post 12

[corvidology]

.


Post now open for having a cuppa and chatting with your fellow writers about anything even vaguely fandom related.


If you'd like to share you card, talk about how it's going, here's your chance.


It absolutely doesn't have to be serious business.


Feel free to look for writers/possible circle friends who share your fandoms, etc.


Mention any writing challenge/exchange you might know of/be writing for/looking forward to taking part in.

Wishing everyone working on their cards the best of luck!

[meridian_rose]

That's lovely, thank you :)

[luthienberen]

Thank you :)

[corvidology]

That's very nice of you, thank you!

[samuraiter]

Anybody else thinking of doing funny drabbles or some such for some of the trickier prompt words?

[stonepicnicking_okapi]

Yes, if by funny you mean strange. I am up to 84 and scratching my head at 'oversight' and 'can.' I write poetry so a fall back is a nice summarizing sonnet.

[corvidology]

I can't seem to keep humour out of most of the things I write so there's a good possibility this will happen. :D

[anonamor]

I'm currently at 11. Whelp.

I had been saving certain fandoms to be at the end because I know I can write basically anything for them, but I might need to revise this thought.

[corvidology]

Remember, there's not time limit on this challenge. Also, it's the time of year where a lot of fan fic exchanges are happening so you may be able to work out something that works for both.

I'm trying to do a personal fictober - write something every day, but not following any particular prompt lists for it, so I'm trying to get some of these done that way too though so far only 4/10 days have been for this challenge. Still, up to a total of 17 now. Creeping up on a fifth of the way there.

Currently participating in Trick or Treat exchange and Yuletide signups are around the end of the month!

My card

[luthienberen]

Wow! That is grand, I wish you the best with your fictober, it is a super way to keep the writing juices flowing. :)

Good luck with the exchange and Yuletide!

[siver]

Thank you; it is that :D. And best of luck to you too!

[luthienberen]

Thank you! :)

[corvidology]

It sounds like a solid plan to me. :D

I think Yuletide might help bump the numbers for a few of us.

[meridian_rose]

I'm doing some Whumptober and I am disappointed in myself for not being able to make all of them match 100fandom prompts too though I have managed one :) I am in fact pleased with myself for pushing out of my comfort zone and writing - and posting, importantly - fic I wanted to read but it didn't exist so I wrote it. And by positing it in some way saying I'm not ashamed of writing the thing.
(I write a ton of hurt/comfort but there are certain things that hit my own kinks so much I get embarrassed and I'm trying to get past that.)

[corvidology]

I suspect that's true for a lot of writers. Much easier to write the things less close to home.

[tellshannon815]

I'm doing spook_me and it's turned out that I can actually use that fic for the "ghost" prompt here, so that's another one planned out! Current to-do list is key (Buffy), universe (Smallville), promise (Harper's Island), home (The Fandom book series), time (Manifest), belong (The A List), fantasy (Big Bang Theory), scratch (iZombie), alive (Roswell New Mexico).

[corvidology]

I love the way you have it all planned out. :D

[luthienberen]

I was making progress but real life stepped in and took up a lot of my mental and emotional focus.

That said, I have a ficlet ready to post after some checking & formatting and I already know what my next ficlet will be for the challenge :D Thrilled to be getting back into it this month, as I am writing for two of my favourite series / film respectively: I Dream of Jeannie and A Matter of Life and Death.

Other challenges? Need to get on top of my two entries for spook_me - very excited about those as I am doing AUs of two current AUs of mine. Self-indulgent? Yes. Fun? Indeed.

[corvidology]

Yeah, RL has a nasty habbit of interfering with our hobbies.

Do you mean A Matter of Life and Death, the film? I love it so much.

[luthienberen]

It does indeed!

Yes, the film. I love that film so much and to meet another fan is just wonderful! =^_^= I aim to do my drabble for A Matter of Life and Death by the end of the month (will post here) once my spook_me fics are done.

[corvidology]

I'm a fan of Powell and Pressburger anyway and the cast is fantastic.

I always thought it was odd that it was renamed "Stairway to Heaven" in the US.

[luthienberen]

A puzzling decision renaming the film "Stairway to Heaven" in the US! Wiki suggests it is due to the escalator in the film, but still confusing for us fans from different sides of the ocean! The actors are all marvellous, though I have a special weakness for David Niven. ;)

I have watched so far only one more Powell and Pressburger offering: The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp, which is a favourite of my father's. I hope to view more of their films.

I do love a lot of older films so they will be showing up in my entries when I get my act together =^_^+

[corvidology]

I from England but I live in the States so the first time I saw "Stairway to Heaven" was going to be screened I thought "blimey, there's a Powell and Pressburger film I've never heard of before." :D

I love older films.
