UNTIL YOU USE ME UP

[seventhe]

0 Made an extensive list of current works / plotbunnies over in brokenprism. I need to write more. A lot more. AND I NEED TO STOP HAVING SUCH CRACKALICIOUS PLOTBUNNIES THANK YOU VERY MUCH lassarina. I am going to need more claims just to take care of all these crazy ideas.

0 I like peaches.

0 I currently really, really, really want to write more Beacon. However, it's going to have to wait. I've had too much work today to write, and I really have to practice tonight (we're up to four new songs a week, so I should totally be churning out the practicing).

0 My brother is coming to visit me this weekend! YEY! Saturday we've got a huge jam session planned with a bunch of my friends, and then we're going out on Justin's boat for a late-night swim. FREAKING AWESOME. It will be the coolness. PLUS GRILLING. I LOVE GRILLED THINGS.

0 Sunday we're recording a new demo. Our old one features our ex-drummer and one extra guitarist who is no longer with us, so it's about time. Plus I've learned a lot about Cakewalk:SONAR and recording in general, so it should be way better. Again, I have to practice.

0 Why am I not motivated to write any of these ideas? I know what will happen -- I'll get home, spend like three hours reading TIME and eating dinner, and then maybe play for like 20min. And I won't write at all. Laaaaaazie.

0 Fiona Apple is pretty awesome.

0 ...that's about all I've got.

HA. YEAH.

I guess it makes more sense to have a journal people can friend rather than a community, esp if my brother can still post. (Not that he really will - he seems to not like LJ - but I was hoping to get him in it anyway XD)

Why thank you ma'am!

[lassarina]

Certainly! I got the instructions from the wonderful and talented laylah, who used it for precious_stones (her original boy-brothel work). I wanted to do something similar for a project myself ^.^; The option isn't even documented in the FAQs, as near as I can tell, just the admin console.

[first-seventhe.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I was searching the FAQ earlier to see what, exactly, it meant, and I couldn't find anything.

It does make it easier to have a separate fandom journal - I was just sick of people I know IRL having to wade through all this fanfic stuff :P

[lassarina]

I post fic to athyn (my writing journal) but I ramble about the creative process a lot in my personal journal.

[first-seventhe.livejournal.com]

I ramble about fic and fandom here, but I set up brokenprism to store the actual fic, since I've just redone my website and I'm pretty turned off of ff.net right now.

[lassarina]

The solution to the problem of FF.net is Ficwad. SO MUCH BETTER.

I'm way behind on updating my website, but also I'm just a review whore, so I crosspost myself like crazy (FF.net, RPGamer when I can, Ficwad, LJ.)

[first-seventhe.livejournal.com]

Eventually I'm going to set up my own fic archive on seventhe.net, so that I can store original fic and still get reviews and all.

However, I'm lazy, and suck at php.

[lassarina]

Yeah I've been trying (slowly) to teach myself PHP. It goes very slowly.

I've given up archiving on my personal site and instead maintain a farm of links to get people to go read my stuff XD

[first-seventhe.livejournal.com]

I lost like all interest in the unfinished stuff I have at ff.net. I am such a slacker.

[lassarina]

I'm still interested in my unfinished stuff. I just have way too much of it to do!

Working on my aheadonourway claim right now, though. And I think I'm going to try to work it into being cross-postable for esper_cave and 100_chances if I can.

Is that cheating? =/

[first-seventhe.livejournal.com]

HA! NO WAY! That's what's known as AWESOME.

[lassarina]

Oh good. That's good to know.

[first-seventhe.livejournal.com]

P.S. WHY DID YOU HAVE TO SHOW ME aheadonourway?!?? I totally want to claim something like "Magic" or "mages" or "Sorceresses" and I'm already having pipe dreams about hitting every single FF on my way through there.

I need no more claims, argh. XD

[lassarina]

You saw my list of claims. Total number of claimed themes = 1063. *headdesk* Completed = 17. This is why I'm trying to make multi-use fics!

[first-seventhe.livejournal.com]

That's true, it's a hell of a list. Ohgods. Must resist temptation.

[lassarina]

Why resist? It's so much fun NOT to.

[first-seventhe.livejournal.com]

*gives in* EEEEEEK.

100 new themes to play with.

OMGYEY.

[lassarina]

*giggling* Yay!

We should totally have an LJ community for griping about "OMG I claimed too many themes!"

....dude, that's actually not a bad idea.

[first-seventhe.livejournal.com]

Actually, it's not at all. Perhaps for "OMG WHAT WAS I THINKING WITH THESE CLAIMS" as well as "I have too many plotbunnies in general" or "what will I do with all these ideas/unfinishedstories/etc?"

Because then somebody might like your ideas and inspire you to finish something...

[lassarina]

onedeadbunny is kind of like that - a community to get together and finish unfinished stories - but I think something like "toomanythemes" or somesuch would also be cool for general ranting. :)

[first-seventhe.livejournal.com]

Especially with LJ-related claims, because people from the same communities could come in and bitch. :P

[lassarina]

I'm totally doing this. Want to co-mod?

[first-seventhe.livejournal.com]

OMGYEY. This is brilliant.

[lassarina]

too_many_claims. Once you join I'll add you as mod!

[first-seventhe.livejournal.com]

ROCK ON WOW.

[lassarina]

:) Sorry it took me a bit - had a manager sitting with me and generally one should not play on LJ when the manager is about. But you are modlike now.

[first-seventhe.livejournal.com]

HAHAHA. No, also not when your coworkers are looking over your shoulders.

[lassarina]

Yeah, generally speaking :) We want to avoid getting in trouble.

[first-seventhe.livejournal.com]

It's a good thing my computer's in the corner of the lab. I'm always worried people are going to sneak up on me when I'm reading smut XD.

[lassarina]

Haha, we have an auto-scanner that security-checks all pages and blocks some of them based on content (anything with "games" in the meta, for example), so I just have to be really careful about where I go.
