First (real) snow of Winter 2011/2012

The snow from the Northwest arrived yesterday. Tiny little flakes. Lots and lots of tiny little flakes. This is the Rocky Mountains. We should be used to a lot of tiny little flakes. Then answer me two things... (1)why can't they seem to move the snow and (2)why can't anyone drive in the little snow that is still on the road? It's just a minor irritation, that's all.

I really should have moved my car from my driveway after I barreled in just so that I could clear out what I scraped through but there was an accident about half a block south of me and people were being kind of wild as they passed by the scene so I didn't think that I should be close enough to the road where they could start sliding and end up sitting on my bumper.

And all those little flakes? There are so many of them and they're still falling so I'll be moving more of them tomorrow. Might as well just deal with it then!

But I bring you pictures!

Pimping

Check it out! avfe is a community/challenge based upon the dreaded (for some of us) holiday soon to make a spectacle of itself. Come and join up and write a story based on the horrors of V... no, I'm not going to say it. Take your beloved characters and roll them around in the angst. Bath them in jealousy. Bind them up with unrequited love until they trip and roll off a cliff.

You know you want to.

Stuff and Nonsense and Goodies

First, I went art!stalking this morning and came across this picture of John with a sword. Not just any sword but medieval John with a medieval sword in a church setting of some kind. Or maybe just one of those fantastic old houses made out of thick cut stone.

Second, I thought about said photo ALL DAY LONG. This is a good thing because I think I've actually been a nicer person at work when I have fanfictiony things to think about. Sad, I know. But still, I came up with this idea that I wanted to write a story based on this story.

Third, I was suddenly made aware that my story was VERY MUCH like Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves but without the Robin Hood part. John + sword > Kevin Costner + TEH HAIR O' DOOM + accent to end all accents. I do not want a RH:PoT remake so I will have to come up with something else.

Fourth, guess what I'm watching at this very minute? Yep, RH:PoT is on BBCAmerica! Coincidence? I think not. I think the universe wants me to write a story with John and a sword in a church or house made out of thick stone with pretty, pretty windows. Anyone have any good ideas?

As I'm going through some of these journals, I'm utilizing tags to find the stuff I want and it makes me realize that I'm quite the failure when it comes to tags. I mean, I tag but not well. And not always.

Reading SGA fanfic that was written in 2006 makes me wish that I'd been in the fandom then. I wonder what my life would have been like if I'd shaken off Harry Potter sooner than I did. Would I have been so besotted with Ronon? He's the reason I got into the series, after all. Yes, John Sheppard is cool but Ronon Dex will always have my heart.
