Disturbing fatcs about ff.net:

  • There is a "Baby Sitters Club" [sic] category. It contains 152 stories.
  • There's apparently a Talisman/Dark Tower crossover. I'll just be over here steering clear of that, shall i?
  • Um. Marten/Roland slash? *scrubs brain* (... *peeks*)
  • Dot dot dot? Well, it's Talisman slash, Jim, but not as I'd like it.
  • This doesn't seem too bad, though.
  • Why are there 49 stories in the Minesweeper category? Fandom is doomed, I tell you.
  • Cedric/Lee WTF?

*flees* And yet still largely unsuccesful.

Before I get down to the business of the day, I have a couple of things to say about the recent FBI-meets-fandom thing, behind this here cut. )

*deep breath* Okay, I'm better now. My faith in humanity has been momentarily restored by the guy who asked us to send his refund to a good cause, rather than to himself. I want to send that guy chocolates.

Okay, my coworker needs to come back from break so I can go on mine. LIke, NOW, because he's already two minutes late (and left three minutes early).

Still pondering my costume for tomorrow. I need to drop by a costume shop this afternoon and see if they have either vampire teeth or something with which I can fasten mine, or maybe a witch hat (I could get some flashy scarves and fake glasses and go as Trelawney, hee!) or something.

Okay, my webmail can start workingn properly any time now ...

I promise, I'll stop spamming soon.

I'm feeling a bit bunmmed that I;ve not been able to feel the pre-NaNo excitement I felt in the past. I normally spend a whole month agonising and plotting and planning and now it's three days before November and I've barely decided on what I want to do at all. Not to mention the ficathon story I've to do before the 30th, or the script I've to provide [livejournal.com profile] ruby_fruit with lest she eat my brain, or other vital parts of my anatomy.

I'm kinda waiting for the panic to hit, so I've made a Plan. Tonight I clean my flat and order groceries, tomorrow I have the pre-NaNo meeting (yay!) and preparing my study for November, Saturday is time to write the ficathon story and E&S, and Sunday is plotting time. I've got the first off, thank god, as well as the 11th and 12th.

All of which is my longwinded way of saying, if I semi-disappear for a month, don't worry, I'll be back in December. :D

Okay, quick poll. I found a way to securely fasten my fangs, so I'm going as a vampiress. I'll be wearing my long black gothy dress, and my make-up will consist of white foundation and powder, black eyeshadow and eyeliner, and mascara, of course. So, two questions: black lipstick, or the dark, almost black, purple one? And red nailvarnish, or just black?
