itsallovernowFor those of you who haven't received a story for the Thelma and Louise Ficathon, please be patient. I still have several writer's outstanding, and most of them have contacted me to say they're still working on their stories. The one's who I haven't heard from will be spanked, chastised and publicly mocked, and you'll get a pinch hit story ASAP.
I will also open up the wild card list for fun and amusement and extra special bonus points for anyone who wants to play in any of the more esoteric requests.
New job is good, and involves a lot of my attention. This is good in that I like to be engaged in what I do, but bad because it allows for very little frivolous time wasting or writing. I like to write at work, sneaking in sentences between lulls, and it's particularly hard in this position which requires a lot of focus and concentration. I feel like a fannish dud these days between actual work and the novel.
I am quite uncertain which five pages to submit today for class, as I don't think I'm ready to share the explicit sexual escapades, yet the first scene is one I'm most proud of and one that shows range and movement (prose wise and sex wise). Sigh. Am still nervous about bringing in the space opera with all these GAN's in progress.
I did laundry last night, and revised and wrote, and am finding a weird sort of freedom in not writing in order, although the story is still evolving in order, so that's okay. I like straight lines in my mental text, and I'm discovering things about these characters that seemed so black and white, and now so very much aren't.

cofax7 is hosting an interesting discussion on perceptions and portrayals of class in fandom efforts. Put on your anthro cap and go help. I have a particular love for economic anthropology since my advisor taught it and I did some really good work on the economy of a ranching community. But fandom, I think, has various views of class and I wonder how much our own status as a relatively privileged class influences our perceptions of it in the media, and our portrayal of it in our work.
