I am all caught up on NaNo! \o/ For definitions of "caught up" that mean "my goal for the month is 20,000 words instead of 50,000." But this is further than I've gotten most years regardless of goal, so I'm calling it win if I make 20,000.

In the process I am crossed the 10,000 word line on both the Dresden-files-in-a-Canadian-shack story and the Enjolras-and-Grantaire-are-running-for-President AU. I am posting that one as a wip on AO3. Under my pseud because who knows if I will actually keep going on it. Although I gave myself until next November, so we'll see. The first three chapters are now here: Primary Failure. Whee.

I think I'm going to let those rest for awhile and work on something else. Brick discussion on Tumblr has gotten me nostalgic for writing serious canon-setting Les Mis, so maybe I'll work on one of those. (Of course, my options for 'serious canon-setting Mis' wips are the one where Valjean's cock heals TB, the one where aliens make Valjean and Javert have sex, the Valjean/Montparnasse kink pwp, the one with the guinea pig, the one with the squirrels, and the one were Javert and Courfeyrac team up to solve a mystery, so. For certain definitions of 'serious and canon', I guess.)

I also just crossed 5,000 words on two of the original fantasy stories I have in my WIPs, which is way farther than I've gotten on anything original in an embarrassingly long time. They've both just passed their action climax and are at the start of the emotional climax, which means of course I am going "Oh crap I didn't lay the groundwork for this nearly well enough earlier on." (They were also both supposed to max out at 5,000 but ehhhh. They will both need a ton of revision anyway, I'll figure it all out then.)

Writing original fantasy is hard.

It's been awhile since I have reported on a Sunday movie night. That is partly because I had a couple of busy weekends. It's partly because this is the first time the random number generator got me a movie that was, well, bad. It was the Keanu Reeves Constantine ( trigger warnings for assault and also other stuff )

Anyway now that's gotten over with I should finally get around to exposing myself to some not-awful Constantine. I hear there was a lot of Papa Midnite in the TV show.

Other than that my media consumption has been mostly trying to get through Hugo-eligible stuff. (Over the Garden Wall is the next DVD. I expect it to be ~10,000% better than Constantine.)

It's been fun! I'm going slower than I'd hoped, and I haven't read anything that's blow-my-socks-off-amazing yet, but most of what I've found from this year's SF output is good. Unfortunately I am used to finding something good and then going and finding all the fanfic for it, and none of these have enough fanfic.

Would anyone be interested in a kinkmeme for 2015 Hugo-eligible works? I think it could be cool. I think there's enough of us trying to do noms this year that we could make it work. And I miss having a kinkmeme. Anybody else think we could make it work? I could run it, probably, if we had critical mass.
