1) Half of this batch was actually done at the same time as the Emily Mortimer icons, which means they are TWO YEARS OLD aaaaugh. I apologise for those particular icons!
2) I was only one off from 100!!! but I was too lazy to do another random icon.
3) This movie is when I first noticed & fell in love with Matthew Goode.
4) Like everything else in my life, this post is dedicated to banlieue. :>>

I HIT THE HALFWAY POINT.

*clears throat* Excuse me, I might just be a bit excited about that. Since I'm two days early on it and all. I'm beginning to give myself hope that I may just spew 50k words about these characters after all.

I still need to figure out what all the scenes are that fill in the blanks and tell the plot that isn't the character arc. At the moment I'm sort of wandering through and building trust, and I need to find the rest of the scenes that fit around this. I'm trying to shove plot and character into each scene, but sometimes the characters are fighting me. Jack, Cian, and Shayne would love to stand around talking.

Tomorrow I want to finish the scene I started tonight, which'll be a big and crunchy one, and figure out the point behind the one where Rose gets herself injured, badly. I know she has a purpose in this book, and I keep getting the feeling I'm not going to find out the truth of it until the second half. Hmph. Silly quiet characters.

Title: And Venus Was Her Name
Author: elfflame
Characters: Bellatrix/Morag MacDougall
Rating: Hard R or soft NC-17 for darkness
Warnings: Non-con (from the victim’s POV), general darkness
Kinks chosen: Symphorophilia
Word Count: 2266
Summary: She will do anything to have her back.
Author's notes: Title from the song “Venus,” but don’t let the title fool you, this is no lighthearted fic. Pay attention to the strong warning for the non-con. It’s not graphic, but it does deal with the mental processes of the victim. Please be mindful if this is an issue for you. The story itself is born from an evil little RP idea that came to me and that wolfish_cat indulged. Thank you to ceria for the beta-job. :) And one more notch on my D_D fic list—my first femslash fic here at D_D.

I'm too tired and feeling too miserable for much more than a simple update. Still plugging along at the NaNo novel. This is where it gets hard for me. Which sucks. Once I blow past this point, 50k will be the place where it gets hard, so keeping going after November may be tough, too. But I want to finish this. Even if it totally sucks.

I feel like I've been run over by a car. Not that utterly flattened oh hey did the truck back up to hit me again several times feeling, but more of a did I bounce off the windshield and am now wandering around vaguely dizzy and confused sort of feeling.

In other words, I think I have a cold. Or something. I'm lucky to be stringing words together that make sensible sentences. Without typos. That last part requires a lot of backspacing.

I miss the days when I could feel like this and go drink a quart of OJ and feel better. :p

Because when don't I copy Lari and her memes?? :P

A little something my hubby linked me to, that I want to save for posterity:
Scenes from an Alternate Universe Where the Beatles Accepted Lorne Green's Generous Offer

An intriguing look into the Beatles' careers, singly and as a whole.  Be warned, if you care at all for the Beatles, this is likely to require a few hankies.

Author's Notes: This story turned out to be far more massive than I expected, but I managed it, despite frustration and flu. Huge thank you to ceria_taliesin for hand-holding and a great beta-job, even if we didn’t agree on the end-game. And to nix_noir and kabal42 for their hand-holding as well. Title comes from a Jewish Proverb: “Rejoice not at thine enemy's fall - but don't rush to pick him up either.” My contribution to the ownficfest.

No cute sayings, really, or much of anything. I made 2363 words today, which is short of the 2500 word goal I set for myself, but still kicked butt over the 1667 word daily minimum that is required to finish a 50k word piece in 30 days. I'm trying to set up for Thanksgiving, and Sunday (where I have guests) and stuff like that, when I know I can't write. Tomorrow ought to be another good day for it, since I have JP after work.

What feels good about this is that I am writing again. Words are coming out of my fingertips. They may be awful words, but they're there, on the screen, committed into something vaguely resembling a story. I'm not sure they'll ever be workable into something I could sell, but it feels good not to be afraid of writing things down. It feels really good not to overthink and to just do.

I've learned that I can, indeed, write every day if I resign myself to pissing my family off. What comes next as the month goes on is figuring out how to get the routine going so that no one is angry at me, and I'm not angry at them. Like, when Chick asks, "are you writing now?" and I growl because the answer is noooo I'm not as long as she's talking to me. Things like that. Kev ought to finish the heating system up soon and I'll get my office back. With heat! Massive yay for that.

Anyway. Wordmeter, then I'm going to go play for the evening.

Just as a sidepoint. That RPWriMo I am not doing but I'm tracking anyway out of curiosity? I'm at 7772 words out of 30,000. That's original journal entries, but not responses, as well as my parts of logs. And that's in a very quiet RP time for me. Apparently I'm prolific even when I think I'm doing NOTHING.

Icon has nothing to do with the post; it just makes me smile.

I have learned that being in a plague plot is exhausting. I have people in my head who are grieving with no outlet for their emotion. Who are ill and exhausted past the point of coherence, while trying to figure out how to handle the person they've managed to lock themself in with. Who are well, but bewildered by the people around them and worried terribly. It's brilliant. Absolutely brilliant. But oh gods, yeah.

It's exhausting when the voices are all screaming to the point of drowning out the others. Add NaNo on top of that, and it's surprising I'm coherent at all. I feel horrible for cheerful light Alban who has been squooshed underneath this pile.

I've been so mentally drained that it was good for icon making because I kept retreating into the simplicities of resizing, sharpening, and light adjustments. But I really need to climb out now and get caught up in BNW. Which'd be a lot easier if sitting weren't uncomfortable. My hip is in rough shape; think it's time to get my blood tested again.
