OKAY FOLKS! So my muse kicked into high gear on my novel, and I think I can half the rough draft done this weekish. No really. So yeah, that means I CAN in fact do NaNoWriMo as I have the past 4 years in a row which is awesome.[Poll #1789728]

So yeah, help a sister out here guys! And comments have been known to sway me away from the tally.. just a warning/bribe lol.

Also!!! If you are joining in on the NaNo insanity - let me know who you are and I will friend ya there!

So I managed all of 600 words last night. Not as much as I hoped, but still better than nothing at all. I've come to the conclusion that I really have a hard time focusing solely on one  project even when it's just for the 4 days I've given myself to finish this. I almost get resentful that I can't go play on something else. Even when I don't even have something else specific that I WANT to work on lol.

Thus, I'm putting out the call for a repeat of the FakeTV Meme! 

(Yes I KNOW I have like.. 5 already. But they make me happy. And really, if I can't have the Caitastrophe network on my TV, I should at least get to have it on LJ. So there.)

Really it's easy and fun and all that it requires from all of you is a cast list of 7 actors/actresses that you want to see me turn into a FakeTV show. I'll give you a show premise and 7 characters decriptions. Really it's just that simple. You can even give me a show genre if you really want to make my brain work.

Basically, this is just total brain candy for me. I can do a short 100-200 word character description in no time, and I'll reward myself with one character every 500 words or so I manage on my het_bigbang. Plus, FakeTV rides this line between fanfiction and original fiction somehow. It's the fun of fanfiction with a little of the more personal pride that I get my my original fiction too. Just awesome.

You can ask me for 7 actors too if you want to join in!

BTW, I would LOVE to see a FakeTVBigBang take place. There are so many of us who have shows now, and they just sorta sit out in the ether without any love. Seriously, there are a ton of them that I want to see come to life in a longer story.  Unfortunately I've never worked at a mod on any community or challenge, so I'd be clueless on how to pull it off. So I guess the questions would be thus:

1. Would you even join the challenge if I can make it happen?

and

2. Can anybody help me with the moderators stuffs?

(BTW, I'm swamped and have a major project to finish by the end of the year AFTER I finish my het_bigbang, so Sign Ups probably wouldnt' be right away.)

... why yes I'm borrowing seren_ccd's normal format for journals.. why not? lol

1. Murphy hates me. Him and his stupid law can totally kiss my butt. For those of you who didn't know, I recently bought a house, and I swear I've had to do repair after repair after repair on totally random things. This time, it was my washing machine. It's dead. As in time to go buy a new one. I guess it's good my work clothes are clean... mostly? *headdesk*

2. Sorta kinda coming out of my funk thanks to some really sweet words from Seren regarding my het_bigbang fic (and yes I will be answering your email as soon as yahoo stops arguing with me!) so that rocks. Plus my beta askita gave me yet another awesome cast list, which brings me to...

3. MOAR FakeTV! Yeah, this format may be taking over my brain. What can I say: it's just such an awesome way to get the muse moving. Plus, since it's characters and a concept all at once and down on paper, I can then step back and work on other things. The plotbunny then won't drive me backs, but I can come back to it whenever! This 4th (gah 4th! I'm insane) cast list even had the delicious Karl Urban, as well as half a dozen other incredibly attractive people for me to play with. This should be good! Oh! And this time I apparently will have theme songs for everyone too lol.

4. That gives me another thought: what do yall think of a possible FakeTV comm? And if yall are game, is anybody willing to help set it up? I'm pretty seriously LJ illiterate or I'd do it myself. But just think! One relatively central location for all of these awesome memes. And FakeTV fanfic. Really what's not to like?

5.  Ummm... hmm. Not sure I have a number 5. Though, I did get a new foster mutt. Gambit, Rogue, and I now have a 125 lb lab/something cross named Bennie living with us as well. He's so freaking sweet it makes my teeth hurt!!!
