You lose some and... you lose some

[51stcenturyfox]

I  faiiiiiiled to finish my Angel/Spike fic for the grazieprego  deadline. That would be today. Happy Failure Day!  And Cinco de Mayo!

A pile of dialogue does not a story make, unfortunately. I know. I've made stories out of piles of dialogue before.  Am aware of this. 

It's a shame, because: Amore/moray eel pun! Unfortunately the pun only really works when spoken aloud. And there was a thing about the Immortal fornicating Buffy repeatedly. That made me LOL a little to myself  (but not that heartily). 

Unrelated to anything, but on Law & Order SVU, Judge Marsden brought the WTFery,  huh?  Evil judges are on my squick list.

Much more interesting: The Sartorialist takes fashion photos of people on the street.  It's people-watching without leaving the house! Bonus!


ETA: I just noticed that ass/pants blog linked earlier is no longer being updated. This is a good thing, trust me. :D

Dahlink! You should have said it was today -- would never have asked for you-know-what! (but also FAIL on my part for not checking your deadline).

Butbutbut you'll still write it sometime, Y? :(

One way or another, the Webz want to CONFIRM how fat our asses look in these pants. If we don't send up our own humiliation, the guerilla fashion photog will get us anyhow. Woe.

Never mind about the story. Maybe you'll post what you have some time and we can read it anyway, now the deadline pressure's off?

Don't make me fail also. It's not looking good.

I'm like, "but what's the POINT to the story I'm writing? It's only bits and pieces floating around in midair, half-assed."

I love the idea of the prompt/story but I have no idea what the hell I am actually doing with it. Wuh.

All that is to say, I commiserate on the deadline etc. stuff.

I'm not really sure what that is - I'm not involved in Buffy/Angel fandom but don't be too hard on yourself - you'll either finish it at your leisure OR uh-those words will get incorporated into other stuff? (Mine tend to do the latter!)

Pretend you are writing for money if it helps to get it done in time. Maybe?

Ah, I'm sorry it didn't work, hon! The dialogue you quoted sounds pretty damn funny to me...well, it ain't going anywhere, you can always work on it in the future. Deadlines are stupid, anyway. *g*

Well, you know, late submissions are ALWAYS welcome. So you're not off the hook yet. *g*
