beyond the wide world's end

Because I am bored. And when I am bored, I say, "this is what I should be doing!" (of course, this list does not include my Gov homework, because that would be boring).

( current wips, most of which are SW )

I'm really really traumatized by the fact that Homecoming is the same week that CBS premieres, oh, everything.

I mean, the Homecoming Dance is the same night as the Numb3rs premiere! Which has Colby! *weeps* It's my senior Homecoming, guys! Oh, I'm so conflicted.

...the internet has TV. The internet has TV. I just have to keep telling myself this.

In other news, you should all be watching K-Ville on Fox. This show is good, guys: slick, smart, and gritty, with characters on the edge just the way I like them.

Almost makes me want to write Bardverse Flack again, you know, once he's left the NYPD and gone south to New Orleans. (And then has to come back! To face Mac! Which goes really badly, as everyone should be able to predict. Oh, Bardverse.)

(Let's not even get into the fact that I'm really tempted to write Season X for the Danny Messer prompt "everything that dies someday comes back" over on the Character Development Challenge. I mean, come on, picture perfect. The only way it could get better would be writing Bardverse Mafia Danny coming back to the Crime Lab for whatever reason.)

(Dude, limmenel, I can hear you enabling me from Ottawa. NO, NO, AND NO.)

Snagged from traveller: When you see this, post a little weensy excerpt from as many random works-in-progress as you can find lying around. Who knows? Maybe inspiration will burst forth and do something, um, inspiration-y.

( This could take a while. I think the folder I was writing in before I went to Brown is upstairs. Also, by WIP, I mean anything that has words and a plot-like-thing. Also note that a lot of these have shown up here before. *cough* )

Also, after seeing "Born Under a Bad Sign", I reiterate: Sam and Dean are so totally Anakin and Obi-Wan. They've even got the murderous rage blackouts and the inability to kill each other!

I leave for Rhode Island on Saturday. Yay? Also, hopefully once I'm there, I will be able to figure out how to connect my laptop to the Internet, otherwise I might disappear into the Atlantic! Rhode Island is a very tiny state; you never know.

Also, fic. More Flack and LaMontagne in New Orleans.

( It's been a while since your last arrest, hasn't it? )

I'm trying to make myself write at least a little bit of Bardverse every week -- just a snapshot, probably all post-Bloody Sunday. This one takes place shortly before "Drought."

( I'd cry, but I somehow can't bring myself to care. )

For limmenel, who wanted the scene where Flack punched Mac and who also just had surgery.

( You spend those five years with the Mob learning the world revolves around you? )

I swear I posted this before, but I can't find it, so I'll post it (again?).

( My Danny... )

Takes up five years after an alternate Bloody Sunday where Danny took Val up on his offer, Aiden didn't die, and Lindsay didn't come to New York until after Danny quit the NYPD.

( For limmenel, because she just had tooth surgery, and thus needs Mafia Danny. )

You know what is really fucking creepy? I went to the WMEA website to look at the schedule for State Solo Ensemble, and was looking at the tenor-bari sax competitors (I may go down to the college later today to see Birkin play), and found a guy with the exact same name as one of my original MCs. Dude, coincidence. It's not a common name, either. At least chances are that this sax player isn't a genetically-engineered killing machine government agent. Also, there is a sax player with the last name "Saxe." Man, bet he didn't have any choice but to play saxophone.

( Five times Luc has regretted wooing (or not wooing) a woman. )

( Five scenes from Danny's life after he gets Made. )
