To do list

[unfeathered]

fandom_me did a big post last night about all the million and one things she wants (or has offered) to write, and it got me thinking about my own list.

Which, as far as fic goes, is practically non-existant.

What I do get stressed about is episode reviews. Because I've been doing them for years and still haven't finished Buffy and Angel - and now I want to do reviews for all of Doctor Who and Torchwood too. And I write the notes when I watch the episode, but then I put off writing them up, because with my verbosity even an episode review can take half an hour to write up - longer for something I really liked. And then I put off watching the next episode because I haven't written up the previous one.

Guess I just need to sit down and get on with it.

When I have some time.

And when people stop having such interesting and entertaining discussions that draw me in and stop me doing what I'm supposed to be doing all evening (like beta'ing someone else's fic - sorry donutsweeper!

As for fic, the reason I haven't got much sitting there to be written is that I am a long fic writer. Outside of fanfic, I almost never read short stories or watch films, because I prefer the character development you get in something longer, i.e. novels or serieses. (Never know how to write that word.) In fanfic, I like reading shorter stuff, because it's part of something longer (i.e. the show) and because I simply don't have the time these days to read much long stuff.

But writing... I just don't get a lot of ideas unless I'm already writing something. Master Plan is a good case in point: it came out of nowhere after I watched Utopia and has just kept on developing, because I think about it, consciously and subconsciously, and little ideas just pop and I go "Oh, yeah!"

Not sure where I was going with that, but just wanted to get it down :-)

I like my friendslist and your friendslist. It's becoming a really comfortable place and I love that it crosses and loops in so many places.

Recs are just... an odd place for me, and it's weird - I'll send you an email about it, sometimes, since I might come across badly here.

And! Good day at work! Stuff'll be waiting when you get home. And there'll be more of it!

And there'll be more of it!

That's what I'm afraid of! *g*

Anyway, off now. See you later :-)
