... but, as is obvious, I haven't. But I am going to start: it's just that my current computer ban doesn't lend itself well to regular blogging, really. I'm joining communities, though, which is good. :)
So... meme, because they get me thinking, and then I think I'll talk about a fic that's hating me. might be therapeutic, you never know.
( Stolen from PK )
So... meme is done. Now I'm going to talk about the fic and hope that inspiration comes. I write on Fanfiction.net as Elsha and Mira (with my best friend. She's Elsha, I'm Mira.) It's all HP fic, because she has these two great OCs and the bestest ever characterisation of Theodore Nott, and I love them all to pieces and use them a lot. I think they're partly mine by now, because I've been the bouncing bord for so much... I contribute a lot, I think. Anyway, I'm writing a two-chapter fic, called I Will, about an OC called Estella Haywood. She's a Slytherin halfblood distantly (and believably) related to Draco Malfoy, and she is NOT a Mary Sue. She's way too bitchy and unpleasant. I'm writing about her first day at Hogwarts- the train ride and then her Sorting. Not, i know why she was Sorted into Slytherin: because she wants to prove to Draco, who she has a run-in on the train with, that she's as much a Malfoy as he is. She can be as much of a Slytherin as he is, and that is her driving ambition, so she's sorted there. It makes sense. However, the boat trip is BLOCKING me so I can't get to the Sorting. >.< I've thought about skipping it, but I think without it the second chapter will be really and disproportionately short. (if you want to take a look, the first chapter is already up... I'm also hanging out for a beta-reader, if anyone's interested.) I think it's because of Hagrid, and my copies of HPPS and HPCOS, which are the pertinent copies (Harry goes with Hagrid in first year, and Estella comes in his second year), are currently inaccessible. ARG.
Well, that was useful, actually. :) Look for I Will 2 soon!! (I hope.)
Oh, yeah, something constructive I did today? The T-Shirt company will print a shirt for me! (For Elsha's Christmas present.) "Slytherin- and loving it." eeee!!! She's going to fall over laughing. I also organised a rehearsal of the Pachelbel Canon tomorow with my quintet- Catherine from school (vln 1), Elsha's sister (Vln 2) me (vla/vln3, depending on the arrangement we pick) Elsha ('cello) and ojojojojojo (double bass.) looking forward to it, actually... :) I found two arrangements, and one is the traditional 3 violins and cello arrangement, which is very familiar and traditional, but doesn't have a bass part. I'm concerned about that because, while I could put jojo on the cello part and ask her to octave it, it will significantly alter the balance. the other arrangement is STRANGE, really odd, but is for a proper quintet. So... we'll see how it goes.
AND I had dinner with my family, and we played "I am not Nebudchanezzar," and ate THE BEST FOOD IN THE WORLD at Mirabel. So that's GOOD. *nods* a constructive evening.
