GAH! Why did signing up for NaNoWriMo seem like a good idea at the time? lol I'm behind already, so I think this weekend I'll be playing catch-up. Still, it's worth it if I do manage to churn out my epic-length M/A fic. Which could happen, truefax. It is steampunk!AU after all, which is pretty motivating I must say. I mean, there's just so much to play with! But yeah, anyways, I've pretty much put everything else on hold for the month of Novemeber (unless I get really freaking inspired to write more of my college Merlin fic).
Also, I am very, very excited for tomorrow's Merlin episode. Like, really freaking excited people! I shall take a break from my lazing-about-cause-it's-Saturday and frantically-writing-nano-fic to watch it. And guh, yay for Arthurhugging dragging Merlin. Though, if Gaius dies, I will figure out a way to throw the show across the room I will! I don't care that it's not a book, it will so happen!
And also, I am now obsessed with indie music. I found this list on itunes of like 97 songs or something, and let's just say I'm in a very happy place right now, especially cause it goes well with my current AAR fanatasism. Really, I can't help but just be happy listening to my iPod these days :D
But ANYWAYS...on to TEH SHINY:
So, basically, I was bored the other day, and I decided that making Merlin icons was an excellent way to procrastinate (especially with NaNoWriMo - procrastination has become even more of a fine art, let me tell you!). And I had some screencaps I download a long time ago to revel in the prettiness. And I saw Photoshop CS4 sitting there looking at me innocently. And, well, 53 icons later, here we are.
Also I would like to tell you that I've managed to develop even more of an obsession with Bradley and Colin's eyes. They're just...so pureettty! :p
ANYWAYS...
Erm no actual order or anything. *waves hands* Think of it as the universe returning to rest!
ETA: Now sorted! Go me!!

I, Arithilim, writer of fanfiction and other
dubiousthings,semiwilling participant in NaNoWriMo 2009,person of self-destructive tendencies like signing up to write 50,000 words in a month,do hereby swear to not reach for the red penof editing doom, metaphorical or otherwise, or use the backspace key (excepting in most dire circumstance where a word has been mistyped horribly do to tiredness, muscle spasms resulting from long periods of typing, and/or drunkenness), or engage in any other manifestations of the so-called practice of 'editing'or other activities of word-count peril, provided that You, Talktosheep, fellow writer of literary works ofquestionablemerit, compatriot in thesuicidalmost noble effort of NaNoWriMo, and sister-in-arms in the war against word-count murdering practices, do hereby most honorably uphold the same oath, not engaging in any of the previously forbidden activities as listed above as long as I keep my word. Do keep faith with me and I'll keep faith with you.X*scribble*

i think takes care of things?
okay, confession time.
i haven't written since....I DON'T EVEN REMEMBER!!!!!
i just keep updating my nanowrimo playlist!!!!!!!
AAAAAAGGGGGGHHHH
Re: An Agreement Most Honorable and Sacred
Date: 2009-11-14 09:45 am (UTC)I may have a confession of my own to make. I only have 7,000 words, and I'm writing about a couple hundred every other day. So pretty much, I'm basically screwed too. But that's all part of the literary abandon process, right? Right???
what do you mean that's just my insanity?Re: An Agreement Most Honorable and Sacred
Date: 2009-11-14 11:52 pm (UTC)Re: An Agreement Most Honorable and Sacred
Date: 2009-11-16 08:44 am (UTC)And, at least we tried. And we weren't like the person who forced me to agree to do nanowrimo and then dropped out without even starting. Sheesh, people these days!
Re: An Agreement Most Honorable and Sacred
Date: 2009-11-16 06:54 pm (UTC)we do have the rest of the year! we'll be okay, we just have to perservere. i have a feeling this will be a very long project. sigh.
dropped out? without even trying? oh GOODNESS. no one can ever say WE failed.
Re: An Agreement Most Honorable and Sacred
Date: 2009-11-26 10:27 am (UTC)But, yay, mental breakthrough! I hope breakthroughness continued for you :) Also, porn - yay! There can never be enough porn in this world, I am sure.
I know mine's going to be a very long project. Life happened, so I'm definitely not making the goal this month, but I really like what I have written, so I'm definitely continuing with it. It's kinda turning into one of those epic fics, so I'll likely be working on it for months at least.
And I KNOW. I was so disappointed! I mean, at least we tried, even if we don't reach 50,000 words. lol
Re: An Agreement Most Honorable and Sacred
Date: 2009-11-27 01:12 am (UTC)okay. more confession time. there *was* porn. it started off really well, with dialogue and actual plot (gasp!), and tea, and everything, but when it got to the smutty bits, i got halfway through and blanked. IT WAS SO BAD. i feel like such a failure. even my character doesn't have the guts to shag her history teacher. i feel as though this is a personal failing. sigh.
but how's it coming with you?

Date: 2009-11-08 06:06 am (UTC)I definitely know what you mean about nanowrimo. I think I'm about 4k behind now. Egh.
And I love the icons! I'm snagging a few. And I really love the banner! I'd totally snag that too, except I love mine!
no subject
Date: 2009-11-08 06:18 am (UTC)But thank you for persevering, bb ^_^
I...am so pathetically far behind. I have 758 words typed and about 500 more on paper from when my computer was offline because Windows 7 took an entire day to install. I should have like 11,700 or something. FML!!! But yeah I seriously need to crack down and git'erdone. But definitely good luck with yours. We can be writing buddies! So: WRITE - 2 - 3 - 4! WRITE - 2 - 3 -4!
Motivated yet? ;)
Anyways, glad you like the icons ^_^ They were pretty much an excuse for me to stare at the ridiculously pretty cast. And to play with photoshop. Which is sort of like my guilty pleasure. That and Finale and fanfiction. But yeah, the f-only banner was actually the one I made for [Bad username or site: @ livejournal.com] awhile ago. I just sorta added here as an after thought cause I thought maybe someone else would like it too ^_^ But yeah, definitely glad you like :D

Date: 2009-11-09 11:11 pm (UTC)I wish I had photoshop, because I loved merging pictures and silly stuff like that ^_^
no subject
Date: 2009-11-09 11:52 pm (UTC)And yeah, I got lucky. My brother and my dad went halves on a student discount of photoshop that had like 5 licenses or something and I ended up with a copy. Have you tried GIMP editor? It's free and I've heard it's pretty good.
no subject
Date: 2009-11-13 01:58 am (UTC)Yeah, I think my dad has something of the sort, actually. I just never find time to go and get on his computer. ^_^ And after three Trojan Viruses (or the same one, returning), I am very leery about downloading things. xD

And have you see the episode yet? Get online on Y!IM, we needs to flail around around it! :D
no subject
Date: 2009-11-08 07:41 pm (UTC)AND PROCRASTINATING FTW!!!!! Ahem.
And not yet. I downloaded it but it took like 2 hours, and then I was writing my NaNo fic and video chatting my brother (and my puppy! Squee!) so didn't actually watch yet. But hey, what better way to spend a Sunday? :D And hey now, I am on Y!IM RIGHT NOW. Where the hell are you?! lol
Also, be proud. I have now passed the word count target for day 1. *bows* (so screwedddd.....)
