[30Days] It starts again

[seventhe]

Since I stopped posting this meme:

• I have successfully posted the first 4 chapters (aka 40,000 words) of HONK. You can find it on the AO3, which is a much nicer interface, BUT we would also appreciate comments on the fanfiction.net version if you'd like to help us out there. AO3 has 1-4, ff.net currently has 1-2. Even if you've read the AO3 version, please help a sister out and drop us a comment in either place. ♥


• I've taken one exam, done two major homework assignments, and have a final next week.


• Work has flipped on me entirely.


• Goldbug's exhaust broke, to the tune of a Check Engine light and $700 (WITH DISCOUNT), which didn't help my stress levels


• I hosted a very successful SevCon at my new townhouse. APPA!!! HOOKAH. HONK. WALKING RUCKUS = IT'S THE POLICE Etc. It cost some money, too, but it was pretty awesome overall. MUST HAVE MORE?


• I found out Marzy has a heart murmur and has to go to a kitty cardiologist, to the tune of what will eventually be $500.


• I've watched Seasons 1 and 2 of Avatar: The Last Airbender and while I love it, I am not sure I want to dive into the fandom because it terrifies me. However: MUST. COSPLAY. KATARA.


• Goldbug's exhaust then broke again on the way to Buffalo, and was fixed after some angry-panicked-furious phone calls over three states. Should have been $360, was discounted down to $160. Still sucked.


• I spent Thanksgiving with family and friends, a lovely de-stressor...


• ...only to return to OH with an infection which blossomed into a fever, leaving me on a damn serious antibiotic (let us all now remember Sev's completely idiosynchratic reactions to antibiotics; the last two gave me more infections, face herpes, a rash / hives, and also would uncontrollably knock me out for 2 hours at a time - so far this one makes me woozy and also allows me to feel my kidneys, throbbing at me, which isn't very reassuring) that scares me...


• ...and the stress of all the proceeding tied up my neck in one of those I-can't-turn-my-head-at-all literal knots, which also prevented me from getting to the doctor (or work) (or anywhere) and made medical treatment pretty miserable.


• I haven't been to the gym, or yoga, in weeks, mainly because of the above.


• And I'm depressed about it all.

It is now December 2nd. I am still writing Honk, I am still studying for a final, I am still treating my cats and I also now have the holidays to worry about. I really apologize for dropping this meme, but this has been a seriously rough time.

BUT! Let's all go read some HONK and I'll start the meme back up officially, starting now. :D

Oh my that's a lot at once. I promise to read Honk soon, it just A LOT.

Oh and Drak and I are cosplaying Azula (me) and adult Toph (her). I'm making both costumes, so maybe I can help you with Katara too?

[seventhe]

I'm now torn between Katara and Suki. Because Suki would not only be amazing, but THE MAKEUP.

[lindorie]

Oh gosh, that's one bucket of SUCK. I sincerely hope things get better and offer awkward stranger hugs in spirit! ♥

I've started reading HONK and oh man I like it a lot, I'll get to commenting in the appropriate places and reading some more.

Why cosplay Katara when you could be that fierce bitch Azula? And then get Becky to be Toph.

[first-seventhe.livejournal.com]

Azula got claimed within, like, 30 seconds of appearing on-screen. I think I was getting a beer (MY BAD).

[astrangerenters.livejournal.com]

I'd love to be a Kyoshi Warrior like Suki, hahahaha. But that would be a lot of makeup.

[first-seventhe.livejournal.com]

...oh, but that WOULD be badass! Maybe I'll do that. The costume wouldn't be too hard to put together, other than the detail bits...

[astrangerenters.livejournal.com]

You guys are making me want to rewatch the series.

You need to bring Mr. Hilldo along and make him cosplay The Boulder. Just because SOMEONE should be The Boulder.

[first-seventhe.livejournal.com]

THE BOULDER IS FINISHED CONTEMPLATING

[drakonlily.livejournal.com]

OMG PLEASE BE SUKI!!!

Then Sev could be Katara, I'm going to be Toph, Becky is going to be Zuko, and Cendri will be Azula!! :D :D :D AND THE BOULDER

[astrangerenters.livejournal.com]

ALSO LOL I JUST REMEMBERED. I wrote Avatar fic two years ago.

...you're not the sane corner of this fandom, are you? I WANT TO WRITE, BUT I DON'T WANT TO BE SWALLOWED ALIVE.

[astrangerenters.livejournal.com]

I am planning to write one of my Jpop groups in the Avatar universe as a Christmas present this year but it'll be my first venture into Avatar fic in over 2 years LOL.

The fandom was really really nutty back when it was still airing (I started watching during season 3 after Netflixing the first two). It was all Zuko/Katara vs. Aang/Katara and I was mostly all "Whatevs, can we focus on some Sokka and Suki?" Or Azula/Mai/Ty Lee

[first-seventhe.livejournal.com]

Azula/Mai/Ty Lee? PLEASE

[astrangerenters.livejournal.com]

When are you going to watch season 3? Do I have to send you my dvds?

[venefica-aura.livejournal.com]

Cause I'm cosplaying her. XD

[astrangerenters.livejournal.com]

WELL THEN THAT'S PERFECTLY ACCEPTABLE

[safety-caesars.livejournal.com]

Toph is Bad A but I'm gonna be Zuko! Because I apparently am incapable of cosplaying females. XD

[ifotismeni]

avatar is SO AWESOME and when the show was still on there was a segment of us Older Folks who had a really quite sane and fun fandom XD ali_wildgoose and [...uh crap, forgot her name LOL brb] are like, the queens of awesome avatar fandom for mature awesome non-scary peoples

[first-seventhe.livejournal.com]

OH GOOD A PLACE TO START

[ifotismeni]

[drakonlily.livejournal.com]
