no_tags was nerve-racking. I didn't get the prompt I had my eye on, but did get one that's very workable. Also, so many amazing prompts are on there. I can't wait to read them.

Corey went back to school yesterday and James to work. Corey also asked if I'd get him up at half six from now on so he'd have time to do his hair. Half six. It's only half an hour before I get up anyway, but that 6 instead of a 7 makes it feel like the middle of the night. Still, it does let me get a jump on the day, get James' bait ready before he gets up. Who knows, with this time I may actually get caught up online at some point.

I found the below in a draft email ( I always write posts in email and then copy/paste them to DW/LJ ) and wondered why it was there for a few moments, then remembered that some people had an addition to their writing meme that asked what 5 scenes from their fic they'd like to see illustrated.

Tints verse -- Frank in gum boots, dungarees and coloured bangs. Gerard drawing as he's sitting on sink
When Day Is Night Alone - Kitchen scene where Pete's sitting on counter, Mikey standing between his legs. Brendon making snow angel with Jon watching. Brendon getting his hoodie in the clothes room.
Sound Tracking -- Gerard reaching out to Mikey in the cage when they first find him. Frank in zero gravity. Bob in the pilot seat of his craft
Standing on the Grave on Dreams -- Everyone sitting on house steps as Gerard shows off his drawings. Ryan getting to pick from Frank's books, also, very much cheating but in the story I'm writing now from that verse Ryan spends a lot of time reading in a window seat. I have that picture in my mind very clearly.
Sing the Revolution -- Gerard dressing Mikey

Which is obviously way beyond 5 scenes, but those were the ones that popped into my head. Especially the first and last.

In other writing news. My MCR/Bob killjoys GSF is now at 35k with 5 scenes left to write. But more importantly, there is now S in the GSF, S that I'm actually pretty proud of. Finish that during this week and no_tags at the weekend. That's doable, yes? /o\

Good luck with your no_tags story!

Half six???!!! That's inhuman! If he wants to get up at such a horrible hour he should wake himself up!

I would love to see both of those scenes from Tints 'verse!

Sex is achieved, go you!!! Though 5 scenes left to write? That sounds like at least another 15k to me with the way you write these days ;-)

My suggestion is -- if Corey is old enough to want an extra half hour to do his hair, he's old enough to get himself up. Get him a cheap alarm clock, and he can be up and in control of the bathroom while you get that extra 30 minutes of sleep. If he sleeps through the alarm -- he's still in bed when you wake up at your normal time -- then his hair only gets combed that day, not "done".

But then, I'm a mean older sister. ;)

The people like S! Go S! The people also like Bob. *sniff* But seriously, congrats on all the progress!

This is what happens when I'm kept away from the internet for extended periods of time; I miss vitally important information like the fact that you're writing more SotGoD. ::makes grabby hands::

If I could draw, I'd draw you all the SotGoD's art in the world. Alas I can only draw technical schematics and maps. :-(

Dude. I've been getting Matthew up at 6:30 for...forever. Well, since I got laid off. *g* Before that, I got him up at 5:45a before I scurried out the door at 6 ;)

Thank you for the holiday card :) I'm sorry I didn't get mine done this year. Er, last year. Whatever, you know what I mean. I think I should start writing them out now, to send for the holidays this year.

Huh. That's actually not a bad idea.

*smooch*

dude no tags really was nerve wracking and I didn't get the one I was eying either...but I got something awesome

that I might already have a rough copy of already. *will have to reread and edit when I get home*

*hugs*

and ooos illistrations those sound like good ones to be drawn out

Is there such a thing as 6 in the morning? *does not compute*

I bleurgh in sympathy for you.

Half an hour for hair? Oh Corey :D

You really do have a teenager on your hands now!

Who puts the S in GSF?

YOU put the S in GSF!

GOOOOOO TEAM!

(This comment will make more sense if you do it in a cheerleadery way. Very much looking forward to your fic when it's done bb!)

6.30am is an unholy hour of the morning and should rightfully only exist if one has not yet been to bed.

You can totally finish the killjoys fic this week and have time to write your no_tags fic as well. You CAN! I have faith in you! *\o/*

Ugh, that is early. Maybe you can bribe the cats into getting him up and stay in bed?

no_tags sounds very interesting this year. I can't wait to see what you end up writing. AND WOO HOO! Congrats on the S addition to your GSF! *highfives* I knew you could do it!

I wish I was better at drawing people, because it would be so much fun to illustrate your stories.

no_tags was so crazy! I had set my eyes on five or so possibles and by the time I'd pondered them for say 30 secs, I refreshed and some of them had already gone. I'm so excited about all the stuff that's going to be written though :D :D There were so many awesome prompts.

(and dude, SO excited about the GSF. I feel like I almost have unresolved sexual tension with the fic)

but that 6 instead of a 7 makes it feel like the middle of the night.

Doesn't it just?! I did LOL a bit hearing that Corey wants the extra time to do his hair, how sweet! Please don't tell him that though!
