Ducks: Queen of Frickin' Everything

I overslept again today. I completely forgot to set my alarm last night -- the worst time to do it, considering I have no less than three fics I HAVE to have done by tomorrow so I can get them betaed. Two are due Saturday, and one Sunday.

And of course, as usual, I'm feeling completely uninspired. But because I've procrastinated so long, I'm going to force myself to work by shutting off the TV until ALL of them have substantial work done on them. This is the bad thing about porn -- especially erotica. I've got to be in a particular... state of mind, if you know what I mean, for it to turn out well. And lately, in spite of diligent application of HAWT porn stories, it just ain't happening. *sigh*

Heh. I got a notice from LJ today telling me my account is expiring soon. Do you think I should hurry up and renew?

Not. *snuggles InsaneJournal*

I wish more people would come over to IJ and play, though! *hint-hint*

I have to say, I'm really tempted to respond to the reminder email, since it ends with "We want to keep you happy. :)" Something like, "Then I suggest you get cracking on that time machine, go back to earlier this year, and tell WFI to go fuck themselves. That you'll protect the right of free expression by your users until the Federal Government comes knocking with court orders. Or at least treat your paying customers with some respect instead of treating them like criminals or naughty children. Or hey, how about NOT painting fandom as pedophiles! Otherwise, I'm afraid it's too late for for your wishes of 'keeping me happy' or even keeping me as a paying customer. I've already moved to another service after four years on LJ."

I know there aren't a whole lot of people on my FL from my area, but if you know anybody who is, make sure to tell them about the 3rd Annual Burlington Book Festival, happening from September 14-16 on the Burlington waterfront. I would love to go, but the tickets are a bit out of my price range, and the cost of traveling over there is too much as well. But for those who might be able to make it, Joyce Carol Oates will be appearing on Saturday! Check out the website for more information! http://burlingtonbookfestival.com/

OMG! There was a 3.2 earthquake north of here last night. We didn't feel anything, I don't think. Hey, you west-coasters, stop laughing at us. We very rarely get them, and they scare us! Like to see how you'd do with 10 feet of snow dumped on your heads. *pout*

So I'm finally getting a rhythm going on Nocturnal Landscaping -- which is a good damn thing, since I have to get it out for beta tomorrow in order to have it ready for the Fluff-a-thon on Sunday. Once this is out of the way, I'll feel more free to read some nice, steamy porn and get "inspired" for the stuff I'm putting together for BRING BACK THE Pr0N DAY on Saturday! You've got your porn ready, right? An icon, a manip, a drabble, Hell, a SENTENCE, as long as it's steamy! *G*

And to celebrate my almost finishing THIS ficathon, I have signed up for another! I think everybody else should too -- The Buffy Ficathon over on LJ, hosted by ruuger. It's supposed to be Buffy-centric, and not emphasize the shippiness so much as the awesomeness that is Buffy. Let's show our heroine some love! Check out the "Buffy is the Hero, Damnit!" Ficathon! Sign up's end September 9th!

It's done! It's done! The first draft of Nocturnal Landscaping is done! YAY ME! I mean, it's fucking LUSH with purple prosey goodness, but it's smutty fluff, so I'm going to call it good! :) So now I just need someone to beta it! Anyone interested? It's about 3000 words of sweet, morshy B/A goodness!
