Sadness

[makingamochrie]

Things seem to be slowing down on the WL slash list and the fic list, and I don't know why.  Five new eps are coming out and it seems like nobody cares.  Maybe a bunch of real life stuff is going on, but man...it makes me sad.  I *love* this fandom and the people in it.  I just wish it was more lively, I guess.  *sad*

I don't know about everyone else, but I've been sick, busy with Halloween, and tied up with other projects. (And Nanowrimo has started, and I'll bet other people are busy with that.)

Still. I'll try to pull something together tonight. I've been away from WL for too long. (I always come back, though.)

Diggin! You're coming back! Awesome! I missed you! So...I'm totally showing my ignorance here, but what is Nanowrimo? I've heard several people talking about it, but I'll be dogged if I have the faintest clue what it is. Can you point me in any type of right direction?

Basically, it's a challenge to write a novel (at least 50,000 words) before the end of November. (Of course, it starts Nov. 1.)

I'm not participating, but I know several nutters people who are. (indybaggins is writing Greg/Ryan, I believe.)

And I mussed up the html. Forgive me?

I noticed yesterday that I haven't posted a story in two weeks. :P The thing is that I am writing, but I'm writing a longer story which I don't plan to start posting until I'm completely finished.

I feel the need to post something, though. I just don't know what.

I've also been dealing with some RL issues that have put me very not in the mood to write, but that should be resolved now.

And dude, I'm all kinds of excited about the new eps! ^_^ I just wish there was more Greg.

I agree that Nanowrimo must have something to do with it, though. I know at least three or four people on my f-list alone are doing it.

Well (ahem) personally, I'd like to see a short on Ryan and Greg's reaction to the gorgeous Clive/Colin story you wrote. But that's just me. *g*

[clayangel]

You know... I think I started that, actually... or maybe I just intended to. I know I did a lot of thinking about it and sat down with a pen and notebook one day, but I don't remember if anything substantial came out of it.

[makingamochrie]

I know I'd be a massively happy camper to see what became of that, but you can only write what the muse wants you to.

Maybe we could all do a round robin. It'd certainly help me with this stress block and get some creative juices flowing maybe.

RR is fun, but you need to set up rules for it, and a list of who goes first, second, etc., and how much time they have to write their part, etc. If you want to do that, go ahead. I'd be up for it. See if anyone else would be.

[corliamat]

I'll have to look it up. I know bugger all about RR rules, regs etc.

oooh! Or a plot bunny competition perhaps. Someone who's fab at making wallpaper or something could make one for the winner......um....k, i'll shut up now lol
