Dec. 29th, 2006 12:03 amI should really go to bed ...
We're almost caught up on Supernatural; two more episodes to go. And I got both House and Numb3rs for Christmas, so which shall I watch next? Decisions ... :-)
I've been going through and polishing up some of my older original stories and posting them on my other LJ. Today's story is one that makes me giggle every time I read it: Henchmen, a tale of two out-of-work henchmen trying to make a living by other means. Flower arranging, say. *Hee*. I need to write more with them. If you like my sense of humor on the goofier SGA stories, then you may like this one.
It's kind of interesting to me, looking at these older stories, just how MUCH I've actually improved over the last few years. Heck, I've improved an awful lot just since I've been writing SGA. Surprisingly, I really do think that reading slash (which I'd never done before) has been good for my writing skills, because good slash uses language in a different sort of way not only from most genfic, but from most published novels as well. And I think it's having a bit of an impact on the way that I put words together, especially descriptive passages.
I'm actually starting to wrap up most of the ficathon stories. I have one drawing and two SGA ficathon stories to go, plus Derry's non-SGA one. Everything but Derry's story is started, and I even have some ideas for that. And work is really slow right now, so I can write fic at work -- which is always good for getting stuff done.
