Christmas plans
Oct. 16th, 2007 09:50 pmWell. The vampire challenge over at
mckay_sheppard got me thinking. And now I have a happy, fanged little blood sucker hopping around my brain.
I was getting all worked up, trying to figure out how the heck I would get it done and posted by Halloween. It's going to be longish - I predict 10,000 words or so. Please remember that I believe I draft unedited text at approximately 1000 words per hour. Then I have to edit it. Post the test post. Read the test post. Edit that. So another 4 hours to get it posted = a minimum of 14 hours to write and post the thing.
That is JUST NOT POSSIBLE. So I was feeling all spazzy.
Then I thought - nothing says Decmeber 25 like a great, pr0nie vampire story. Or if I get a writing break, maybe something to go with the turkey and green bean casserole and jello salad late in November.
*nods*
Yes. Vampires and stuffing and reindeer. That's the ticket.
Oh. Not McShep, though. No brain activity in Atlantis whatsoever. This would be your standard J/D. Unless it morphed into more of a J/D, J/S, J/T type scenario. You never can tell with these critters.

That being said, the muse got Christmas-y last year, so I did a Christmas fic of sorts (Christmas dinner with an emphasis on the mistletoe :D). Who knows what the mistress will demand this year?

isn't Jack getting a little long in the tooth, anyway?no subject

(Gives blood pudding a whole new context.)

Though I was also considering "Vampire Cannot Live By (Chicken) Blood Alone." *snickers*

Date: 2007-10-17 03:04 pm (UTC)All of my classes decided to line up to kill me this week, to the point that I'm killing off an imaginary relative to get out of writing a paper. The brain has gone to lunch, be back sometime next week.
