Why did I choose "Hard Difficulty" for my life?

[ultranos]

1) No, I haven't forgotten about those prompts I asked for a few weeks ago. I've just been ridiculously hosed. I'll get to them eventually.

2) Short story is now in the revision stage. I'm not entirely sure what I'll change, though. There are some parts that are bugging me, but no one dinged me on them, so I'm uncertain whether or not I should change them. Also, I clearly have been trained to write for writing LARPs or entire universes. I kind of stunned some people in the roundtable critique when asked to explain my universe's geopolitical situation. Apparently, not everyone comes up with 5 times the amount of information that actually appears in the story?

3) As if I don't have enough to do, I'm poking at the idea of running a tabletop involving time travel. Possibly in GURPS, which I've never used before. Clearly, I am insane.

4) I was looking at my list of fic WIPs and am feeling the need to write again. And not just abyssinia4077's and my Fic of Doom. I do realize I have the crack!fic that's still languishing at 10K words, and still needs it's back 2/3s. And the fic Aby wants to kill me for. And...other things. It's just that I have no time and am out of the groove for writing SG-1 right now. I think it's because I've been drilling deep in original fic and into SMT/Persona mythos for both the game I'm writing and the tabletop I'm playing. Someone make me fannish again?

5) There is no five.

6) You know what I miss? Vacations and weekends. I swear to god, I haven't had a For Reals one in weeks. I also miss cooking. I think the last time I went to the grocery store is roughly, uh, 8 weeks ago? Sometime in September, when I forgot to eat dinner, got out of lab at midnight, and went to the 24-hour grocery store for material components to make a grilled cheese sandwich. TERM, WHY WILL YOU NOT END? Wait, no, don't end. Ending now would be painful.

1) You sound like me.

2) I liked it!

4) I know how you feel. I *want* it but I'm having trouble finding it. I have found that watching more SG-1 (looking for vid clips, making a few redial chats) and trying to read some fic occasionally (thank god for podfic while cleaning glassware) is helping me slowly find it again. And, um, I still REALLY want to write our Fic of Doom sometime. And, um, I want that fic I'm going to kill you for. But I think fannishness can't be forced. It'll swing back.

6) OH GOD I KNOW. Soon. Soon. Also, you should eat.

1) Does this surprise you anymore?

2) Yay!

4) Yeah, I know it can't be forced. And I really shouldn't try. I'm just a bit numb on a lot of it. Possibly due to having to just put my head down and do work, so I distanced myself from it.

6) Yes! Soon! And I, uh, try to eat. My wallet is unhappy with the eating at campus food.

1) Yeah, Details.

2) :) Hope my comments were remotely helpful.

4) That sounds like what I think I'm dealing with. I'm starting to feel it re-spark a little, so I have hope for when my workload calms down. But yeah.

6) I bet. It'll happen.

I miss you!

2. Can I read it?

3. Yes, you are. Deliciously so.

4. There is no cure for un-fannishness except time and source material. Be patient, grasshopper. *giggles madly*

5. There is no response.

6. Can I send you a care package? Seriously. E-mail me your address and any limits you have on places to cook.

I miss you too!

2. Sure! Want me to email it to you?

3. *licks arm* Oh man, I'm made of MEAT!

4. Ah, yeah, that's true.

5. ...

6. Uh, okay? I guess.
