cee_m is putting together a convention, but for music/bands. For more details, look here and then take the poll.
creepylicious asked for Halloween prompts and I asked for a crossover between bandom and American Horror Story, and yikes. She nailed it. I'm reccing, but there is major character death, and you should know the show to get the best impact. Oh no. Never Do We Breathe
It's been a nice week. Corey was on half term so James rearranged some shifts so he was only at work for two short training days, which meant 3 days where we got to lie in without an alarm and time spent watching TV together on the night. Sadly he was back at work today, then off tomorrow, then a full week in due to those rearranged shifts.
In a way it was good he was at work today as at just after 7am this morning the postman delivered two boxes. Not that it was anything exciting, just two boxes of cereal I won. I also got £3 in Coke vouchers after I complained about a can that was only a quarter full when I got it out of the package. I wasn't going to complain at first, because it was an 8 pack on special offer so it wasn't like I'd lost much money. But still, I paid for 8 cans of coke and got 7 and a quarter. So, I sent an email and Coke sent a box to send back the can, and today I got vouchers worth more than I paid in the first place.
Stuffsit writing is going okay and I've made my mini nano target every day so far. Though considering I barely scraped in yesterday and it's only day three. Well, I'm not celebrating yet.
Finally, I'm delighted Mikey is back on twitter in a small way, and that so many people made sure I knew about Pete's tweet when it happened ♥

Date: 2012-11-03 05:34 pm (UTC)I'd love a bandom convention, but America is a bit far for me :(
I'm struggling with my stuffsit :( The prompt I was given is almost the opposite of what I'd requested, so I've struggled with coming up with a plot and content, but I think I'm getting there!
OH GOD PETE'S TWEET. I may have yelled at my computer a little ♥

Date: 2012-11-03 05:50 pm (UTC)Yeah, me too. I'd like to see it happen though. It looks like it could be a good thing. Even if all I could do was watch and be jealous.
Man, that sucks :( I know it has to be incredibly hard to match everyone perfectly, but that doesn't help when you're faced with a request that's hard to write. Go you for going for it anyway.
Pete is delightful! He made my day when I saw his tweet.

Good luck with your stuffsit story.
I thought of you when I noticed that Mikey had started twittering again :-)

It was honey nut cornflakes with cranberry and almond. Which sounds nice but I haven't actually tried them yet as there's other cereal to eat first.
Thank you. Stuffsit is going nicely.
I'm loving the Way bros are back on twitter. I hope they're not scared away again.

Date: 2012-11-04 04:37 am (UTC)My stuffsit is like half finished? I keep thinking I should add more though. My problem is (like every AU I write) my story's become a 'verse, and I want to write all these things in the 'verse, but not with the characters my recipient requested. So if I'm writing a 10k story based on her fic, shouldn't her fic be bigger then 2k? But I don't have much left to say about her characters. UGH TRYING TO PLEASE PEOPLE.
