I feel bad for having such a good day when there's such shit going on in the word right now, but there we have it. I went out last night but quit while I was ahead, so awoke feeling fresh as a daisy... okay, maybe not. Fresh as a supermarket posy, perhaps, which is still kind of pretty depending on what supermarket you go to.

Anyway, then I lazed around reading and napping for a while, then went to a local artists' market, then I got flirted with by a hot waitress, then went and had a writing day with copracat, in which I wrote 2300+ words of my Epic Romance story. As I'm a touch obsessive and I'm thinking of this *now*, I'm totally going to keep a spreadsheet and generate a cumulative graph of my progress :D

Yes, I am just that cool.

At any rate, the 2300 words I've written are just the first two scenes, so I suspect this might end up being an extraordinarily long story. I might break my record! In which case, it'll be cool to see how my writing habits trend at different stages of the process :D

Anyway, I also wrote a 1300 word outline for the Epic Romance, and made some character sheets, and location sheets, and did I mention I heart Scrivener 2.0?

So, current wordcount: 2,374
Current mood: GWAAAINE I like you even more than I thought I did!


Meanwhile, This Merlin vid is fantastic.

Pairing: Pendragon/Merlin by Anon.

In which Arthur is a BNF and Merlin is his beta.

This story gave me SUCH A GINORMOUS HAPPY. (And meta fic usually gives me a ginormous embarrassment squick!) It really is more fandom fanfiction than Merlin fanfiction, and it's beautifully done. Being a BNF! Being a NNF! How emotionally invested in fandom you are, and how it makes you feel hopelessly in love! And all the lexicon, and the mediums, and... Everything!

I think it's kind of interesting that a story that's so quintessentially about fandom stars a couple of guys, but interesting a twisty meta kind of way.

ANYWAY. Read it!
