Weekly Check In

[norfolkdumpling.livejournal.com]

Evening all!  (or Morning, Afternoon, Night...depending on where you are :D)


The deadlines for fic and art grow ever closer (la la la....I'm not listening...) and I'm just here to ask how you all are doing?   Writing, scribbling, painting, vidding - let us know how it's going.  And feel free to use the comments to ask for pointers, opinions, help with certain details, or simply just to flail and cry and share the misery! *g*

Please pop over to the recent 'What's happening next' post to check on the schedule for the coming month and find out how the submitting and posting process will progress.


Lastly, I have a couple of...er...useful(?) links for those of us not quite in the zen space about our stories and/or art yet...



Fanfiction Generator - enter a few words and it creates a whole story for you.   Coherence and well-thought-out plotline most definitely optional, but it's a hoot and a half and great distraction material!



Online Paint - I have lost HOURS arsing about with this.  I don't know why it's so addictive - something about the virtual paintbrush I think.  But see...this is the kind of masterpiece of the Lads (or at least one of them) that you could be creating...


Good luck all!

I am very disappointed that you didn't sign your masterpiece. How much time will be spent by future generations on researching who this lost master was. Hmmm? For shame, ND, for shame.

[norfolkdumpling.livejournal.com]

Ah, but like all great masters I prefer to be underappreciated in my own lifetime, and out from under the wagging finger of blame in the future.

[draycevixen.livejournal.com]

I bow before your excellent plan.

[snailbones.livejournal.com]

It's Bodie, right? *g*

Your masterpiece is -- interesting. LOL!

I'm finished with my story and it's back out for reading to tweak out those last few places I've screwed up things when I edited. I've talked to my artist and she's busy creating her own masterpiece. :)

[norfolkdumpling.livejournal.com]

Clearly my artistic talent knows plenty of bounds. *g*

Ooh - get you! Nicely done Kat :D

[saintvic.livejournal.com]

Yes I can see that I am going to spend a long time on online paint. *nods*

*waves pom poms for all the writers and artists*

In fact this is me waving my pom poms

[snailbones.livejournal.com]

Nice pom poms you've got there luv *g*

[saintvic.livejournal.com]

Ta pet, they are admired all the time.

[norfolkdumpling.livejournal.com]

*is thoroughly mesmerised by your pom poms*

[saintvic.livejournal.com]

Mesmerising pom poms can be very handy.

[dawnebeth.livejournal.com]

They're like sparklers on your hands! Electrifying.

[saintvic.livejournal.com]

Can make it difficult to make tea at times but they are always attention grabbing.

[sc-fossil.livejournal.com]

I love your pompoms. You must make an icon of them. *g*

That ain't no bleedin' drabble!

I'm Dreaming Of An Irritable Christmas

It was Christmas Eve. bodie sat siftly on the bed, sipping exquisite eggnog.

He looked at the experienced wall hanging on the Christmas Tree and sighed. Last year, doyle had hung it there, just before they looked at each other throatily and then fell into each other's arms and kissed each other's cock.

If only I hadn't been so intelligent, bodie thought, pouring a tough amount of rum into his eggnog. Then doyle might not have got so ethereal and left me all alone at Christmas time. He wiped away a muscular tear and held his mouth in his hand.

Suddenly, there was a knock at the door and then a masculine voice lifted strenuously up in song.


I'm dreaming of an irritable Christmas

Just like a rotting smoked haddock



bodie ran to the door. It was doyle, looking fey all over with snow.

"I missed you angrily," doyle said. "And I wanted to kiss your cock again."

bodie hugged doyle and started to sob.

"I think you're drunk," doyle said.

"I think so too," bodie said and they kissed each other's cock until they knocked the Christmas tree over.

On Christmas Day, they ate roasted cat arse and lived shyly until bodie got drunk again.

[norfolkdumpling.livejournal.com]

Lol - I love this! And if I may be so vulgar bold, I heartily approve of the amount of 'cock kissing' going on here. *g*

Re: That ain't no bleedin' drabble!

[sc-fossil.livejournal.com]

You have generated your own masterpiece, I see! I'm all for cock kissing too. Spank me for my bad thoughts. *bg*

Re: That ain't no bleedin' drabble!

[hagsrus.livejournal.com]

Well, if they offered a big bang length I'd be all set for next time!

Re: That ain't no bleedin' drabble!

[sc-fossil.livejournal.com]

It's good to have a plan.

[dawnebeth.livejournal.com]

OY! That online paint is awesome and a complete way to procrastinate--as I have been doing all day instead of writing much on my story. At least things are progressing in the right direction. lol

Here's my version of Doyle as a muskateer. (I always knew that costuming history almost degree would come in handy someday. lol)

oops--just realized that only takes you to the site and not to my picture. I think I lost the picture. sigh

[dawnebeth.livejournal.com]

Now I have it! ta da

[saintvic.livejournal.com]

That is fantastic!

[dawnebeth.livejournal.com]

Ta--I'm far better with a pen or pencil. I would adore Bodie and Doyle as agents against Richelieu, with long flowing hair, floppy lace collars and boots and swishy swords. Just about my favourite period for men's costuming.

[sc-fossil.livejournal.com]

That's why I love SAC's story so much. It's got that flavour.

[dawnebeth.livejournal.com]

And which story would that be, perchance?

[sc-fossil.livejournal.com]

That would be Breaking the Chains: http://hatstandfic.net/viewstory.php?sid=560

Scarlet Pimpernel! I love me some Chauvelin. *g* Toss in Bodie and it's even better.

[golden-bastet.livejournal.com]

Story? :ears perk up:

[sc-fossil.livejournal.com]

Good job!

[dawnebeth.livejournal.com]

gracias, chica.

[golden-bastet.livejournal.com]

I bow before the greatness of your masterpiece! I will not go to Online Paint I will not go to Online Paint I will not go to Online Paint

Pilgrim's Progress:

• Still working wacky hours, and now I have someone else's job to do... I'm seriously considering finding a cheap rate and holing up in a hotel somewhere for a weekend to put a dent in the final stretch. We'll see.


• But my problem is solved now, and I'm revising left and right again. There are some very awesome people out there.


• Yesterday, my artist sent a preliminary Bodie sketch. OH, MAN. :is gobsmacked: I am a *really* lucky person to have her as an artist. :D

And no! You can't make me go over to Online Paint! ARRRRGGGGHH!!!!! :clicks on link:

[golden-bastet.livejournal.com]

Actually, wasn't there a post about titles? I need a bit of a push to get that going.

[inlovewithboth.livejournal.com]

Now that, is cute!!!
