Things I've signed up for already this weekend

Okay, so got swept into Pottermore and, as you might expect, I want to write HP again. Not that I've ever really stopped although what Aster and I write together in our MEGA STORY O' PRE-BOOK GOODNESS is more and more AU and only really like HP because we use Quidditch and can't find a decent substitute without making up a game ourselves (which would require a ton of world-building of which I don't have as much time and energy to commit to these days). So let's just say that I haven't been writing HP in awhile.

hp_diversity is having a mini!fest and I took two of the prompts to work on... even though I have a prompt fic due on the 7th which is in TWO DAYS.

Anyway...
1. Dean/Ginny -- After her divorce/break-up with Harry, Ginny is pissed off and too proud to take any money from Harry or her family. When she winds up broke and needing cash fast she turns to her old friend Dean, a bounty hunter, and convinces him to give her a job. Things get crazy.

2. Lee Jordan/Katie -- long distance relationships are hard enough without finding out from the newspaper that your girlfriend is lying in a hospital bed in a curse-induced coma. How Lee reacts/deals.

And then I need to work on some Clint/Natasha for the writerverse 5 Things on the Prompt Table o' Doom. And I really want to go back through the first book on Pottermore and screencap so I can make some icons.

Games

When I was growing up, I wanted to be a geek. I really did. I wasn't allowed to be because I was raised by parents who were able to convince me that fantasy was "bad". I've retrained my parents enough that they don't think I'm going to suffer the fires of hell because I like fantasy. Even so, I'm still a frustrated geek.

Watching Wil Wheaton play table top games on Geek & Sundry keeps the frustration at bay a bit because I'm learning how to play table top games of the fantasy variety. It's so much fun! Last week was Settlers of Catan and this week is Tsuro, Zombie Dice and Get Bit.

Before the part with Tsuro was over, I went to Amazon and bought it!!!!! It looks like a game that all of Littles could play even!

Zombie Dice seems like game very similar to game we already play. Get Bit looks interesting... we shall see how it goes. I'm still about 12 minutes from the end of the video.

Check it out! Geek & Sundry is so much fun!
