Let me get this straight...

[lar_laughs]

I got bored this weekend.

What happens when I get bored?

I go looking for things.

Other than finding some new music (some Vitamin String Quartet mostly but some other stuff here and there) and some new icons/pics (mostly of Hayley Williams who is my inspiration for my GinnyBigBang fic), I also found some new communities. And I joined. And I picked up some new prompt tables. Three new prompt tables to be exact. Which brings my total to like 6 right now. Only two of them connect.

*counts them off on fingers*
1. 100quills (Mari/Greg... which I have a new idea for that will get me some more drabbles and less intense storyline).
2. 100_colours (Ravenclaws of all shapes and sizes).
3. 100heroesfics (Elle Bishop because I do love a girl with a knack for setting things on fire using just her hands).
4. rarepair_shorts (Kingsley/Dorcas because Aster told me to write more K/D while she was away).
5. 25fluffyfics (Viktor Krum which has turned into Viktor/Charlie because gosh darn it I want to write Charlie but Tonks depresses me even still and I want to know why Charlie has no children on the list so...).
6. ginnybigbang (20,000 words of Ginny wonderment that isn't due until like Christmas).
Oh! 7. gen_ficathon which is due the first part of August so I better get writing!
And I found one more that I've had for awhile and keep forgetting about... 8. 15_pairings (Harry Potter - just need 15 different pairings).

*looks around with wide, frightened eyes*

*whispers* I've been here before. It's not pretty. RUN! SAVE YOURSELF! The drabbles will just start FLYING off the walls and whatever hard surface they can find.

*sighs* But it'll be okay.

And in other funny news, my dog is snoring right now. She snores like a person might with little sighs. It's very cute. It also means that I should be in bed. EEK!

ETA: In other random news... THERE IS SOMEONE ELSE OUT THERE WRITING ZACH/MEGAN! Isn't that a riot? I thought it would only ever be me! I haven't actually read it yet but I saw it listed at rarepair_shorts. Wow! Wonders will never cease! And very cool!

i actucally wanted to laugh when you said that you have 6 prompt tables, and that's a lot.

i have 12.

you probably have that prompt table fetish that me and luvscharlie have! lol.

[lar_laughs.livejournal.com]

I love prompt tables! When someone else tells me what to write (be it friend or table), the muse seems to come much quicker. Good luck with those 12! I don't dare take anymore TABLES... that doesn't mean that I can't have fun with other challenge communities! I fill in my gap with drabbles!

[lar_laughs.livejournal.com]

Which 12 do you write currently?

[elle-blessing.livejournal.com]

I'm srsly too chicken to take on a prompt table. What if I never finished?

I have thought about the rarepair_shorts, and the 15pairings looks kind of fun >.> .. *is weak*

[lar_laughs.livejournal.com]

I like both of those because they're very laid back. There's no time limit. Of course, the tables that have had time limits have been the ones that I stick with the longest! *grins* I need that push!

rarepair_shorts seems like a very laid back sort of place. No one is going to jump on anyone for playing a character that isn't well known. I like that! Plus, there have been pairings there with OCs which is even nicer! Not that I write them but if you can accept an OC, you can accept a lesser known character.

And 15pairings is just pure fun! I have pairs on my list that I've never written before but always have kinda wanted to!

But I know better than to spread myself to thin! Well see...

Oh, I had not heard of gen_ficathon before. Must watch the comm. I ♥ gen like crazy.

[lar_laughs.livejournal.com]

I'm of two minds about gen_fic in general and this comm specifically. Gen_fic has it's place but this is kinda strict about what is gen and what is. I'm just not good at rules and regulations! This is one of the reasons I don't get too involved in a lot of these things. Oh well. It's going to be great!

[terravayne.livejournal.com]

Is it strict? I thought the definition was simply: romance is not the focus.

[lar_laughs.livejournal.com]

Okay, I did write that reply while being incredibly annoyed both by the RL stuff from that newer post and also reading through a gen_fic community that doesn't appear to like anything. For my money, I think I'd rather stick around communities where the only rules is keeping it specific to a certain person, not a genre. You know? I hate places that are ruled by rules. Anyway... don't listen to me! *rolls eyes* I'll be in a better place tomorrow!

[terravayne.livejournal.com]

Ahhh, I see. Haha, sorry to hear about RL stuff. *hugs*

I think rules are silly, too. Even for some pairing comms, the definition of "pairing" gets disputed. Does A/B and A/C ending with A/C belong in an A/B comm? *sighs* And then it goes around and around and around.
