more of the usual ramblings

Things that Do Not Help when one is trying to get back to working on an old WIP: getting bit by a plotbunny for a new story.

No progress on the WIP yet, but at least I'm writing again, does that count? And for a change, I like the way the story is coming out (so far, anyway).

In addition to cheating on my WIP, I've been cheating on Doctor Who. I've got the DVD for "Planet of the Daleks" all ready to go, and instead I've been watching Avatar: The Last Airbender and Being Human. I'm new to both shows, and I've just been watching what's been on my television, which means I've caught scattered episodes of S1 of Avatar and the first four episodes of S2 of Being Human. Both shows have hooked me enough that I feel like trying to go back and watch from the beginning in order. But before I do that, I really ought to watch "Planet of the Daleks," seeing as it's Three and Jo and Daleks, and I've never, ever seen it.

Oh, and I really ought to spend some time writing this week, too . . . boy, being a fan is time-consuming, isn't it?

Oh my god YOU'RE WATCHING AVATAR!!!??? I was OBSESSED with that show when it was airing! absolute best cartoon dished out in recent years, in fact may be one of the best cartoons ever.... certainly doesn't try to tone down heavy issues even if it was shown on a channel for kids. Great plot, great characters.... seriously a gem among the crappy shows for kids these days.

Oh, and glad you're writing again! Good luck on your new plotbunny AND Turn Left story!

drawing your pic now :D

Never seen either BH or Avatar: TLA. Stories about vampires do not interest me. And yes, I know it also features a werewolf and a ghost, but, guess what, I ain't all that fond of werewolves either - plus I don't think Russell Tovey's all that, despite half my FList apparently being crazy for him. Boy do I suck at being a sheep and following the herd!

However, I am glad that you're writing even if it's not Turn Left (I will try not to grumble that it's not TL!)

Hee. It is, it is. In the other hand, you are having fun hooray!

No, writing is good! It's a shame you couldn't rescue the WIP just yet, but, hey plotbunny! :-D

I've been thinking about exploring Being Human. It intrigues me - less for the super natural aspect and more because of the quirky character stuff. Vampires on their on don't really interest me (and Twilight is just bad writing.)

Bunnies! the are so fickle, running away when you want them, and then breeding like mad when you don't have the inclination/ time to feed them all.
