Not only rough drafts for are due on October 30th, but

nekusagi is due to post her

pokemon_bigbang story, which I have been betaing and helping her with, on the same day. So this means I have one Big Bang fic to have the drafts finished and one Big Bang I need to get the betaing done. D:

I'm not too worried as I actually just have one more scene for the sixth chapter before it's done. Somehow

gsd_rtfn helped me become more productive with my fic for the last week than the last couple months I had working on it. XD The story so far is around over 26,000 words when combing the first six chapters together (wow, didn't realize I made it that far D: ), but I still got a bit more ground to go (the story is most likely going to be 40,000 words by the time I finish. Geez louise. @_@ ). I seriously want to thank

muziris for being a huge help on my story so far! <3 Without her my FMA Big Bang would be a huge mess, lol.

Editing and helping

nekusagi's fic for Pokemon Big Bang has been a huge joy so far and very looking forward to the last parts of her fic. Don't worry Dawn, you're doing a fabulous job on the story so far and people will defiantly read it! *hugs*

Besides Big Bang stuff, I STILL need to plot out my

help_japan fic for NaNo and get that ROY AND RIZA IN HAUNTED HOUSE fic finished for Halloween. Er, whatever is mentioned in this entry is pretty much my to do list for the last few days of October, wee.

A bit off topic, thanks to a few people had been watching Downton Abbey and am loving it so far. To those that I talked to the show with, any one of you have watched the sixth episode? Are you guys ready for the last episode of the second season? I don't know if I'm ready, LOL.

Current Mood: anxious

Heads up on a few things:

*

firstmoonie and

hayaaateuh, remember a while back I said I would do that Roy/Olivier being classy one shot? Well, I'm almost done with it, but you guys will have to wait until sometime next week to read it as I'll use it for

fma_fic_contest's Prompt 130 Farce. Just hang in there! XD
*

cornerofmadness, got a head start on betaing your demon hunters story. I should be able to send it back to you this weekend.
*To those I owe prompt stories to, don't worry I haven't forgotten them. I haven't gotten the chance to sit and think over how I'll approach those prompts. I will get to them, though!
*Oh man,

fma_ladyfest stories will be posted beginning tomorrow and I'm excited and nervous at the same time over my story. I hope my recipient will like it, especially since the beginning has...er, let's not go there. XD;

Okay with those out of the way, wee another meme I stole, this time from

seta_suzume:

Choose one of my fics and I'll do a DVD commentary for it.

I remember I did a meme similar to this, but this one will be different. Like Suzume, I'll go and do commentary on the whole story, mentioning my thoughts on some parts here and there. My fics you can find in my Master Fic List, although there are a few from

fma_fic_contest that I still need to post in my journal. So yeah, go nuts!

help_japan fic- God dang it. D<
*~~fma_ladyfest~~ - DONE and got it send!

fma_slashfest - First slashfest fic already posted there (the Riza/Briggs Doctor one). Second one, Havoc/Ling, I haven't gotten started yet.
*~~Judging for Pokecommunity's Get Together writing contest~~- DONE!
*Betaing

nekusagi's

pokemon_bigbang fic- waiting for her to send it to me
*

fmabigbang- Signed up for it, had some of second chapter written (draft of first chapter I got done a while ago, haha)
*NEW- Roy/Riza

springkink fic

So, sign ups for the summer round

springkink has started and I had claimed a Roy/Riza one and actually got a rough draft of it done (I'll need to edit it first before asking around for someone to beta it). Haha, there's a couple more prompts I want to do, like there's one with blind!Roy. However, last time I tried blind!Roy...LOL, let's not go there. >.>; Maybe I'll try blind!Roy again someday, but now is not the time.

To end this post, here have a meme I stole from

aamalie because I feel this might help me warm up for my Big Bang fic and help_japan story:

The first five people to comment in this post get to request that I write a drabble/ficlet of any pairing/character of their choosing. In return, they have to post this in their journal, regardless of their ability level.

I would prefer if the characters are from FMA or Pokemon and a prompt along with it. Pokemon prompts would be great as I haven't written anything of that fandom in a long time. ;_; If you guys want me to write something from a different fandom that I'm familar with though, I'm cool with that too.

Edit: Oh, I'm fine if you guys want to post my stories to your journals or not. I'm far from being a great writer for someone else to share it in whereever, so yeah.

Current Mood: determined

Too lazy to make my regular fandom to do list, so I'll just mention a few things going on with them real quick:

*

sonjajade and

muziris, got your emails with the beta notes over my fest stories. I haven't look over the suggestions/did the corrections yet due to having a lot going on, but I'll get to them tomorrow and will respond to the emails as soon as I can.

*Still no progress over the second

help_japan fic. *sighs* Hopefully after I get through a couple FMA fics I'll make some time to plan over it.

*Just have one more entry for PC's Small Writing Contest and will read it after I get back from work tonight. I'll then get my scores on all the entries together and send them in (tonight or tomorrow, depending how far I get through the last entry).

speaker_astinus, did you respond to bobandbill's PM over who will add up all the scores together and post the results? I'm fine doing that if the both of you are too busy doing that.

*Sign ups for

fmabigbang is coming soon and I'm hoping to get the PC SWC judging and the editing of the fest stories done before then. Man, this will be a busy week for me. O:

*Yesterday I got my clearfile and the Romi Park signed poster

clewilan and

hayaaateuh were giving away a while back, yay! Also, I went grocery shopping and the 99 cent store I was at was giving away 2011 calendars with pictures of wooden ducks. I love wooden ducks so I was happy to get that, LOL.

And I think that's all. Nothing else to say but that wooden ducks are awesome.

Current Mood: hot

fma_slashfest - First slashfest fic send it to

muziris for her to beta, second slashfest fic I need to brainstorm
*Gosick Brian/Cordelia fic for nekusagi and enigma_shadow1 CANCELED because of what happened over the ending of Gosick, that's all I'm going say :x
*Judging for Pokecommunity's Get Together writing contest-

bobnbill,

speaker_astinus, and I already got everything set up, the Get Together will start tomorrow/Friday (depending on your timezone)
*NEW- Betaing

nekusagi's

pokemon_bigbang fic
*NEW-

fmabigbang- Think over the story I'm considering doing for the third round of fmabigbang, sign up for it once August hits

Lots of ramblings over the to do list I want to mention, but instead I'll just go straight ahead of what I want to discuss here real quick: BIG BANGS.

Yeah, I decided to beta

nekusagi's Pokemon Big Bang story instead of signing up as a writer because Dawn wanted some help with her fic and I'm more than willing to do that. Also, considering I already plan to sign up for FMA Big Bang and real life stuff is throwing a curve ball at me right now, doing two big bangs at the same time will burn me out greatly. Speaking of FMA Big Bang...

To my FMA friends that have done

fmabigbang before, any of you considering signing up for it, and if so thought of what kind of story you'll write? LOL, I actually already thought of what story I'll do for the next Big Bang since April after I posted Down the Road and worked on an outline for it. I'm actually nervous and excited about this next story-excited because it's going to be a Roy/Riza post series fic and I thought up some neat ideas, nervous because I'm afraid I'll fail the execution of those ideas. D:

Current Mood: thoughtful

This Stocking icon shall be my "busy writing and reviewing" icon, LOL. All right, time for my Fandom To Do List update:

Fandom to do list
*

evil_little_dog 's

help_japan fic- ...Let's not even go there. ;_;
*cornerofmadness 's help_japan fic- DONE!
*

fma_ladyfest - Got the prompts, decided on one and got some ideas for it
*

fma_slashfest - First fic I got the rough draft done and will need to do some editing, second fic need to brainstorm some ideas.
*Gosick Brian/Cordelia fic for

nekusagi and

enigma_shadow1- Thought a bit over how I'll do this fic, will be a while until I can be able to get to writing this.
*NEW- Judging for Pokecommunity's Get Together writing contest- The Get Together starts on July 15 and ends on July 19 (I think). That's when I'll start the judging.

Some ramblings about a few things on the to do list, so read at your own risk. :P

( Ramblings of to do list stuff )

All right, today is my day off so I plan to get writing my fma ladyfest fic and then later tonight brainstorm evil little dog's help_japan fic with

enigma_shadow1. Internet is going slow for me for now because I just got the invite for Google Music Beta (works like Amazon Cloud Player) and it's taking a while to transfer my music through there (1,800 of it D: ), so that will help me from being distracted for now, haha.

Current Mood: anxious
Current Music: Gym Class Heroes- Stereo Hearts

All righty, first off the fandom to do list. Hadn't done this in a while.

evil_little_dog 's

help_japan fic- Already mentioned how I'll have to go back to square one with the fic. Thought of a few ideas here and there, need to think a bit more how I'll go with the plot
*

cornerofmadness 's

help_japan fic- Got the grammar edits my beta suggested done, need to add a bit more to it in some places and then have my beta look over it again. Target post date June 11 (it's a Roy/Riza story, might as well)
*NEW-

fma_ladyfest - Waiting on my prompt
*NEW-

fma_slashfest - Claimed two prompts, thinking ideas for both of them.
*NEW- Gosick Brian/Cordelia fic for

nekusagi and

enigma_shadow1

Because I have terrible, terrible friends and low self-control, I have been dared to do Brian/Coredlia smut. Matt, Dawn, are you REALLY SURE I'm the right person to do this? XD; I'm willing to do it (hence why it's on my list), but I don't know when I'll get to it. I want to deal with a couple FMA fics that have deadlines first before going into the Gosick fic, but if my muse suddenly wants to start that one first, you might see it pretty soon. XD

Next, a meme I stole from

seatbeltdrivein that I should have done a couple days ago, woops.

▸ Comment with "PIKA PIKA!"
▸ I'll respond by asking you five questions so I can get to know you better.
▸ Update your journal with the answers to the questions.
▸ Include this explanation in the post and offer to ask other people questions.

She gave me five questions and my answers are below the questions:
( My answers to the meme )

Current Mood: amused

Like I promised, meme and fandom to do list post!

evil_little_dog 's

help_japan fic- No progress on writing but got some ideas going and outline expanded

cornerofmadness 's

help_japan fic- Draft done, need to edit

pokeprompts's May's prompt- Just found out the prompt I wanted to do is due on April 30th. x_x This month's prompt I can choose a past prompt, though, so that means I can still do the prompt "February'".

Bleh, I have an idea I want to do for pokeprompts, but I can' t seem to have time to brainstorm and think where I want to take it. My mind is on the help_japan fics, a chaptered FMA fic I'm considering doing it for next year's FMA Big Bang, and real life stuff. We'll see how that goes.

Now, the meme I stole from a few people, haha.

Comment and I will comment back with a picture of the fictional character that most reminds me of you. Then post the same in your journal.

Okay, pretty much only thing to do with my Fandom to do list is the help_japan stories and the pokeprompt one. I want to get the help_japan stories done by this month, so I signed myself up at Dreamwidth's writethisfanfic and the challenge I make myself is get evil_little_dog and cornerofmadness's stories be done then. I was supposed to do some writing today, but...news of Osama Bin Ladden's death is getting pretty distracted at the moment, bleh. For sure I'll get started on my help_japan writings tomorrow.

Speaking of Osama Bin Ladden's death, I'm a bit conflicted how I should feel, though it is surprising that this happened. However, this is really ironic as yesterday I posted America Fuck Yeah over at aztecravemoneky's journal just for spam. Guess this song is kinda appropriate for this occasion? I didn't predict this would happen! D:

Edit: Note to self- use the strike tags under HTML, NOT Rich Text.

I hate LJ messing up the format sometimes. *sighs* Okay, again my fandom to do list:

* Need to beta smashlloyd20's fic (Chapter 6)- Done
* NEW! Do banner for

gretchen8642's FMA Big Bang fic Never Let Me Go- got started on it yesterday, need to put the finishing touches

Yes, I need to get my butt in gear for my help_japan stories. Like I mentioned before though, I managed to brainstorm some more ideas, so I should be able to write them (once I'm not distracted by shiny things...opps).

I wasn't actually assigned to do art for gretchen's story because it wasn't one of the stories I wanted to do art for, but she asked me if I could do one for her as she saw one of the Big Bang banners I did. I said yes because I want to practice graphic arting a bit more. Last night I got started on it and I was rendering one of the screenshots from FMA Broterhood's fifth opening, which is this one. GAWD DANG IT, I messed Roy's hair up the first time and I had to do the rendering again, bleh. But yeah, later tonight I'm going to see if I can finish this by deciding what kind of background I want the banner to have and practicing some smudging. You know what's ironic? When doing this banner, it was raining where I"m at, haha.

All right, while I'm still here time for the Shag/Marry/Cliff game once more. This time

cornerofmadness gave me Ling, Train Heartnet (Black Cat), and Ned Flanders (The Simpsons).

( Shag/Marry/Cliff game part two )

Hm, is it just me, or

azurne,

speaker_astinus and I are the only ones participating in April's PC Review challenge? Many others sign up for the challenge, but I don't see any of them updated their progress. I'm still going to try to get in 29 reviews this month.

Dang, I need to get started on the help_japan fics soon. I wasn't able to write much of it due to real life and suddenly wanting to do

fma_fic_contest 's Switch prompt last minute. Speaking of Switch, man I hate rushing my stories in for deadlines. D: Thanks

seatbeltdrivein for the beta, though! I hope the changes I did are good.

Speaking of seatbeltdrivein, a meme I stole from her! This time it's the Shag, Marry, Cliff game.

The rules, if anyone else wants to play:
1) Comment to this and (if you want) I will give you 3 (fictional) people.
2) Post this meme to your LJ with your answers.
3) Provide pictures/text descriptions and the names of the 3 people.
4) Label whom you would shag, marry and (push off a) cliff.

I got Al, Roy, and Hughes. This shall be fun. Oh, if anyone wants to give me three new characters to discuss if I want to marry, shag, or cliff, I'm cool with that!
( Shag, Marry, Cliff )

First off, meme stolen from

seatbeltdrivein because she too always have some great memes. XD

Comment with a request to see absolutely anything on my computer. my desktop, my documents, my bookmarks, my inbox, secret stash of pornography, latest works in progress, documents... whatever you're curious about.

So yeah guys, request to your hearts desire. You can request more than one thing, so yeah. :P

Second, because everyone else is doing it, here's my fandom to do list to help me keep track! Let's see if the list will get bigger as time goes by. D:
