spinning in the silence

My hp_summersmut fic isn't finished. It's due tonight at midnight. I guess we know what I'll be doing today.

Last night I mentioned that I needed to watch Bull Durham again because I had this idea for a story, and MrIris was like, "Oh, are you going to slash Kevin Costner with Tim Robbins?"

I froze. Because those two? Never occurred to me. And I was surprised that he would suggest a slash pairing for me to write, given how squicked he is by the idea (we won't discuss his reaction to my "Sirius/Remus is totally canon; there's a reason Remus is with a metamorphmagus now" comment).

But then I replied that I could totally write Annie/Millie if I was sticking to the original characters, that it was probably canon. And it was all good. :D




I have lots to say on the recent Supreme Court decisions, but it's all sort of disorganized in my head, and I feel like I should write my story before I focus on anything else.

Hope y'all's weekend is off to a fabulous start.

*hugs* Good luck with your writing!

Thanks! I think that is IT for exchange fics. Too stressful when I'm not feeling motivated.

Hee, nice icon. :)

hmmm, I think I've said the same thing ... and still signed up for more. I dunno why it is that they're so enticing ...

Cheer up, I'm not finished my hp_summersmut fic either. Keep plugging away! I'm sure you'll finish.

Did you get yours done? I finally did, and had a quick beta-pass done and sent it off. Just an hour or so past the deadline.

[gfeather.livejournal.com]

Not yet done, but they knew that at least.

I am currently sitting at 22 000 words... and I've finally made it to the scene where there be smut happening, AND IT WON'T WRITE!!!! WHAAAAAA!

I am not having a meltdown. I am not having a meltdown. Really, I'm not.

Why oh why didn't I just write some simple little oneshot?

My only saving grace is that everything I have written thus far has been beta'd.

I don't want to think about the SCOTUS decisions. Really, really don't. Gah.

*twitch*

You know, beyond the fact that we're taking huge steps backwards in terms of equality, it irks me that the decisions are not consistent in terms of logic when the same five justices made the decisions. Free speech is permitted for corporations, but not for high school students? And the fact that they pulled the "no free speech if it encourages drug use" thing out of their asses? WHERE in the Constitution does it stipulate that content of your speech matters in your ability to freely express opinions?

It's just one more example of what I've always believed: you have a right to "free" speech if you can afford to buy it.

I don't know. I just... gah. :P
