A day of minor irritations

I go to type the piddling amount I actually have done for the Back to School ficathon (which if it's not late it'll be a shock to me) only to find part of teh hand written story is AWOL. I've search everywhere and can't find it.

Tried to read the stuff for my writers group and most of the new people are into writing essays. I can't begin to describe how i hate reading those for the most part.

Then I have to go grocery shopping. Evil Little Dog asks, this won't take long right? No, it shouldn't we don't need much. And it didn't take long until we got to the car put in the groceries THEN notice my tire is flat. Not just a little flat but pancake flat. Luckily Geico got a tow truck out there fast because while I CAN jack up the arm, I can no longer remove the lug nuts from the tire. There's a big fat phillips head screw in my tire. I'm eyeing the idiot neighbors with all their trash all over the street. Guess who loves research AND typing time getting her tire patched.

heh

Man, I just hope DB isn't as um empty-headed as he comes across in interviews if I'm stuck with him for nearly 3000 years but hey I get agood run.

Pimping

While trying to forget I've lost half of a story and all of the critiques that took me forever to do for one of my feedback athon stories. GRRR.

Anyhow, Danawoods has really interesting idea in her LJ. She's looking for really unusual unconventional couples, something we don't see tons of like Connor/Faith, Dawn/Spike and a lot of the more popular slash like Spike/Xander. However if you have something really out there, you might want to look at her proposed archive (I've offered up my Connor/Dru and Connor/Buffy)

 

leni_ba  is looking for some help on a poll she has up on her lj about our thoughts about pairings. For the poll look here. She's also having an 'insert Dawn into an episode' ficathon. For more on that go here.

 

blaar_rosir  is having a dream ficathon, write about the buffyverse character's dreams. It sounds really interesting. It'll end right when I'll be moving (I hope) which will probably keep me out of it. However, it could be fun so look here

bits of news

Box of Crayons HAS been added to the judging for unconventional series at Shades of Grey and you can vote for it if you'd like at Shades of Grey it appears all subgenres are lumped together for the vote. I voted. Have you? And yes I DID vote for myself but not in every category. I'm not THAT vain.

 

And party time. I FOUND the stupid story bit for Back to School ficthon (freaking first scene is nearly 10 pages long. stupid long winded Dana).  AND three other a.w.o.l story bits with it.

Called Arkansas and told them that yes please consider me for the permanent teaching position in 05/06 (they didn't have funding this year) just in case the stuff I have lined up now really is temporary.
