various stuff of the Merlin variety.

Merlin Season 3 will premiere in Canada on Jan 15! YAY!!!

Typing update for the 3 of you that care: Page 58 of 58!!! I am DONE, BABY. Well the typing, which was my goal. Unfortunately, there are bits that look like: “Yes. In the war of... [insert boring something here]” and Geoffrey handed the parchment to Arthur [Arthur’s emotional reaction - details, important moment] LOL - just a bit of editing required.


Also I lost a scene - what the hell! I typed it all in, the entire fic, and then I was like, shit. I know I wrote a scene with X and Y. WHERE IS IT??? It took me an hour to find it, such is my organizational skills. (it was scribbled on the back of an outline)

Anyway! YAY! I'm looking forward to my favourite part - the clean up.

In less self-indulgent news, merlin_holidays posted our Reveal YAY! What a great fest that was. I'm definitely looking forward to next year, though I wanna write next time!

So now that reveals are up, I'm going to add all the authors' names into my rec posts, then I hope to be able to update the big rec lists next week.

Hmm... You know - I might need to consider splitting those lists soon. :/ I'm afraid they aren't going to fit in one LJ post much longer. Maybe by size? Like under 3k in one list and and 3k+ in another... IDEK - any suggestions?

I'm one of the three who care! Especially since I'm also a spammer who won't leave you alone so you can type. :D So yay!

I wanted to suggest you split them like this: NC-17 ones and OTHER ones, just to show you what a PERV you are, but then I remembered you probably know that already so yeah, I got nothing.

[marguerite-26.livejournal.com]

Hee! you are great distractor. With such intellectual questions as: How would your describe this position [Insert HOT!PORN] in 20 words or less. <3

By rating would be a very sad split. Those 4 R-rated fics sitting on their lonesome, while I still need to split by NC-17 list again in a month. *g*

I could go my alphabet... like an [A-M][N-Z] sort of split (very convenient for me as they are already in alphabetical order. :)


And, yes, I believe me being a giant perv is a well proven fact. ;)

[faithwood.livejournal.com]

HAHAAH. I tried to describe that pic a few more times but . . . STUPID LIMBS.

Oh! And it will be easier for you to find something when people ask you -- and they will ask -- to rec them something.

[marguerite-26.livejournal.com]

ahaha! I sent it on to Lee to see what she would say, just because: INTERESTING QUESTION. Not because it was PORN. okay?
And yeah - mostly just staring. *g*

ps: that link i have above for the Canadian showing of Merlin? Has one article called There's some Merlin in my Doctor Who Sandwich. This amused me.

[faithwood.livejournal.com]

Of course! Important discussions are important!

There's some Merlin in my Doctor Who Sandwich.

LOL! I'm thinking Nine/Merlin/Jack.

Also, now I want a sandwich.

We are intelligent women searching for perfection in our wordsmithing, like a quest for a holy grail. or something.

[faithwood.livejournal.com]

IT'S A GOOD QUEST! I'M MAGIC. WHO ARE YOU?

[marguerite-26.livejournal.com]

I AM COURAGE! WATCH MY HAIR FLIP! *swoosh*

ETA: Oh wait... that was strength wasn't it? Well, I'm courage - watch how shiny my hair is in candlelight. Some people say it glows!

[faithwood.livejournal.com]

AHAHAHAHAHAHA! I was all: But she used Gwaine's icon. And how DOES Arthur make his hair flip?

[leashy-bebes.livejournal.com]

Yay typing! I have similar notes in most of my fic. It's getting a bit ridiculous now, the latest note I added was [INSERT CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT HERE]. Oh, self.

I think alphabetical would be a good way to split the recs.

[marguerite-26.livejournal.com]

Hee! Yes!

[Add bit where Arthur changes his mind, make it believable]

LOL

Oh, bb. WORDS ARE HARD!

And thanks! That's the easiest for me. Hopefully I won't need to for a bit.

[lolafeist.livejournal.com]

My notes are SUPER silly. My catapult one had [BADASS SORCERER FIGHT HERE] and [SOMETHING HERE I GUESS]. No joke.

[marguerite-26.livejournal.com]

[BADASS SORCERER FIGHT HERE]

*g* that works. :)

[chantefable.livejournal.com]

Oooh, [INSERT CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT HERE] is a long-time favourite of mine. Along with [UST], [RESOLUTION], and [HEA]. I glue them together with [FLASHBACK].

[marguerite-26.livejournal.com]

AHHAHA!!!

[scarletscarlet.livejournal.com]

58/58, you are AWESOME.

Also, yeah, splitting by length makes some sense to me. Splitting by theme might get a little fiddly? Your headers are usually pretty detailed, so easy enough to see what's going on.

Got a face done on a pic which now means there's Something there, rather than a collection of smushed shapes and shadows, and means I have a Look for the image. Whoo!

[marguerite-26.livejournal.com]

I def. couldn't split by theme - I need something black and white otherwise I'll end up having to search two lists all the time. Word count or alphabetical is really the only way.

YAY for a face done! Go you! :D

[kajmere.livejournal.com]

YEY!!! Can't wait for Merlin to air here! :D I thought it was going to be in like Feb, its so soon!!

[marguerite-26.livejournal.com]

Space is doing a marathon RIGHT NOW! :D

[kajmere.livejournal.com]

I know! I have it on! LOL :D

[chantefable.livejournal.com]

\o/ Yay you!

Just you wait till April, then there'll be plenty ideas for Merlin crossovers with Camelot and fics about doppelgangers and Arthur really being time-travelling Grindelwald.

That'll rock.

[marguerite-26.livejournal.com]

GAH! No! I'm avoiding Camelot completely. I just don't want hear a different story about these characters I love so much. :D

[maya231.livejournal.com]

We didn't even get season 2 here. There's reason number 367 to move to Canada.

[marguerite-26.livejournal.com]

hee! Canada is awesome. Space channel is a great reason! *g*

[bohemiabythesea.livejournal.com]

Ahaha, the brackets around (insert info here) or (NAME OF SUBSTANCE?!?!) - they make large parts of my writing unintentionally hilarious even in rather tragic scenes...

[marguerite-26.livejournal.com]

lol. yes. (NAME OF SUBSTANCE?!?!) sounds very familiar! *g*

[bohemiabythesea.livejournal.com]

I'm also quite fond of (INSERT GEEKY TECH TERM HERE), which has had my beta in stitches many times.

[mabonwitch.livejournal.com]

Oh, writing. My outlines do sometimes look like [AND THEN THEY ARE FORCED TO STAND TOO CLOSE. WHY?]. I especially adore inserts in sex scenes. OK, that came out oddly. Er. I MEAN. There's nothing like writing a sex scene and going back later to discover you've written things like [WHERE ARE HIS HANDS????] or [Uh, lube?] in the middle of it all.

I'm torn about the lists things. I gravitate to long stories, but if you split by length I won't ever get tempted by some tiny little gem I otherwise wouldn't see. BTW, I love and adore your Merlin rec lists. I'm just starting to really read Merlin and using it as a starting point.

[marguerite-26.livejournal.com]

I especially adore inserts in sex scenes.
YES! [b/j on table here] :D

LOL [Uh, lube?] sounds very much like a beta comment on my fics. :DDDD

I think you make an excellent point about splitting by length. I love short fics, and think they deserve a lot of attention - but I know if I look at rec lists, I'd click on the long fic rec list not the short! *meep* unfair! Alphabetical it is!

Oh! thanks! I'm glad my rec lists are helping you out. :D

[blamebrampton.livejournal.com]

AHAHAHAHAHA! You remind me of the perhaps apocryphal Star Trek scripts that left [Tech Tech Tech] holes for someone to insert something pertinent about nacells into (not like that! Oh, your mind!) CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR TYPING SUCCESS!

[marguerite-26.livejournal.com]

(not like that! Oh, your mind!)
ahaha! You know me so well, bb.

[Tech Tech Tech] stuff is time consuming to 'insert' and is always secondary to the character's story. so yeah... it's almost part of the polishing. :D

Thank you! I'm so glad to have it done!

[jtsbbsps-dk.livejournal.com]

GO YOU for finishing your typing!!! \O/

[marguerite-26.livejournal.com]

Thank you! :D I'm so happy to have it over. I may get this fic posted before Feb 1!
