This Week's Check In

[przed.livejournal.com]

It's time for this week's writer check in.

Inspired by merentha13's suggestion of an online slang dictionary, I thought I'd include a few other Brit checking resources:

List of British word not widely used in the U.S. (Pretty much as advertised, a big long list of Brit-specific words)

U.K. vs. U.S. spelling (For when you're debating using "ise" or "ize")

Dictionary of English Slang (This one's my personal fave)

And inspired by my own incipient panic, how about a poll on how we're all doing:
[Poll #1737374]

Bodie and Doyle are very curious to hear how you're all doing...

*curls into a corner and whimpers*

That's an absolutely lovely picture you've used. So much pretty... but they don't look impressed with my lack of progress. :(

There, there. There's no whimpering on a Big Bang. (That's what the scotch is for. *g*)

As for Bodie & Doyle, I don't think they're too impressed with my progress either.

[liriel1810.livejournal.com]

Shall we crawl into a corner together and drink the scotch? And if the lads want to give us the stink eye like that, they can't have any!

[przed.livejournal.com]

That sounds like a plan to me. Though we might give them scotch if they're nice to us. Very nice.

[liriel1810.livejournal.com]

But only if they're most especially nice... like give us some idea how to proceed with the damn story! lol

[przed.livejournal.com]

Or if they reproduce what's going on in your icon. Yeah, that would be worth a shot or two of scotch. *g*

[liriel1810.livejournal.com]

Oh yes, if they'd give us ringside seats to that, it'd definitely be worth a couple of shots (and my help us forget the misery of writer's block)

[dawnebeth.livejournal.com]

That IS an amazing icon. Looks so lifelike! ;-D

[liriel1810.livejournal.com]

Thanks! I'm very happy with how that manip turned out.

[draycevixen.livejournal.com]

Ah, best avoid the corners, they're easily reached with pokey sticks.

[liriel1810.livejournal.com]

Well, under the table is out! *ponders* Maybe the closet...

[draycevixen.livejournal.com]

You're going to have to do better than that, we're slashers and very adept at getting people out of closets. *g*

[liriel1810.livejournal.com]

Ohhhhh, bugger it! Well, you know, if you'd be so kind as to poke Doyle with the sharp stick rather than me, we might make some progress. He's very recalcitrant.

[draycevixen.livejournal.com]

Bodie frowns on anyone else poking... Oh, right. Just ignore this.

[liriel1810.livejournal.com]

*g* In this instance, I think he'd be agreeable. He's not best pleased with Raymond either.

Seems Mr Doyle is adept at getting up everyone's nose from time to time!

[draycevixen.livejournal.com]

If he's getting up Bodie's nose I would suggest he's doing it wrong...

[liriel1810.livejournal.com]

ROTFL! His aim is off a little. ;)

[moth2fic.livejournal.com]

I'm sure they're just thinking about how best to rescue a damsel in distress.

[liriel1810.livejournal.com]

More like Doyle's trying to think how he can kill Bodie without earning Cowley's wrath, and Bodie's thinking about how far he can push it before Doyle pops him in the nose! *g*
