1. I have this strange craving for novels with female protagonists. But I want a fantasy with a swashbuckling heroine of some sort who is Made of Awesome. Pirates would be good. I don't care if she had to hide her gender or if female pirates are common (I think Faris Scherwiz had an impact on my psyche as a child), but I want her to be the bloody Pirate King. Or at least, Pirate-King-in-Training.
This is one of those things I'll need to write myself, isn't it?
1b. Or a awesome hacker in a cyberpunk distopia would also be good. Bonus points if she doesn't become bitter or fall at New!Boy's feet when he shows up. Or, hell, give HIM a different skillset.
1c. Or a cranky engineer on an airship. Or something. DAMMIT, I WROTE THAT GAME. (Sydney was AWESOME. As was how long it took everyone to realize we named the cross-dressing AIRSHIP ENGINEER "Syd".)
(1d. I should get a better book icon, but damn if Cecilia and her Book of Doom isn't awesome.)
2. I have finals next week. I have a circuits exam I must pass on Monday, and a thermal-fluids systems exam on Wednesday. I know exactly what I need to study. My brain, damn it, has decided to go on strike for the day. *headdesk* Maybe I can bribe it with coffee.
3. I think I might have an alpha draft of the Atlantis rulebook done by the start of the new year. Not that I've really been working on it much for the last two weeks.
4. I am still ridiculously gleeful about the Iron Man yo-yos. Link, Yarmond, and I ended up watching the movie last week. It's a very entertaining film to watch with a bunch of engineers. "Can I have SolidWorks: Imaginary Edition?"
5. I'm holding onto the hope that I can get one more fic out before the end of the year, that being the RepliCarter fic that's been sitting in first draft form for the last 5 months. After finals, though.
