Another Up All Night Update
Oct. 1st, 2006 06:51 pm![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
Just to quickly say we - as in
mrstater and I - have updated Up All Night, Chapter Two: Much Fondue About Nothing. I've done it as per the link, she's done it on her LJ on that very nice brown screen of hers.
Everyone seems to have started their Jumble Fic while I've been out shopping... This is going to be like college all over again, where I'll be last in with the homework.

Date: 2006-10-01 06:34 pm (UTC)My two main obsessions are Star Wars and Harry Potter. I don't really want to make a random combination of those two but if I make a theme of one of them, I'll feel guilty for ignoring the other (yes, I'm weird). Not that I have time to work on a mood theme right now anyway.

I'd prepared myself for the niffler angst, and then I get thrown romantic comedy starring the in-laws. Not sure how the feather's going to come into it....
How about you? Looking forward to the comedy potential of the Apothecary?

The last thing I was expecting was to be handed a chair, the Apothecary and a day of satisfaction. Wish I'd saved the constipated Hippogriff so they'd at least have an un-predictable reason for going there... ;)

I love 'Love Me or Leave Me'. I think she made some great films - 'Pillowtalk', 'Move Over Darling' and 'Calamity Jane' never fail to amuse me. I think she gets rather over-looked when people talk about the great actresses of yesteryear.

Date: 2006-10-01 09:04 pm (UTC)A plot bunny ran into me while I was trying to cook lunch today. I jotted down a few notes, and burned my lunch, so I now have hope for the fic though the meal was hopeless. I still have a few plot points I have to work through before I get to the real writing, so I'm not certain it's all going to come together. I guess we shall see.

Date: 2006-10-01 09:15 pm (UTC)I perhaps shouldn't admit to this, but the feather quill and the in-laws were both my suggestions.
I'm quite pleased with my prompts, actually (so thanks!), and romantic comedy is much more my thing than mystery or action. I was just expecting to get one of the really tricky ones because I normally have really bad luck with these things.

It really wouldn't be that bad if I didn't have to research and write a 10 page paper by Wed. and a 6 pg. paper by next Thursday.
A week-and-a-half for three different projects of 1,000 to 2,500 word minimums is worrying.

Date: 2006-10-01 09:42 pm (UTC)After jotting down the notes, I went to the store, bought some fresh apples and ate a couple of them with a little bit of caramel sauce. Probably better than what I was cooking anyway.
I find the best plot bunnies come to me when I'm in class not listening to the prof., taking a shower, or cooking. I'm not sure what about those activities attract the bunnies other than I'm probably just letting my mind wander. I really should know better than to let my brain out on its own, but somehow I still do it.

That one was
And I really enjoyed the latest update to 'Contact.' :)

Thanks! Next chapter of Contact is almost done, but it also may have to wait until after this challenge is over to get polished and posted. I have a hard enough time getting one fic done, much less the three I have on my plate right now.
