Seattle so far
Mar. 27th, 2012 10:28 amOn the plus side, I have:
- met
helens78!
- seen a bald eagle and lots of other cool birds
- eaten good food
- spent time with RL friends
- bought a new sleeping bag and sleeping pad at REI, much cheaper than I could've gotten them in Sweden
On the minus side, I caught a cold on Sunday : (
I am going to stay home and rest today and tomorrow and not try to meet up with anyone else, because I know it's going to get intense from Thursday on. Also, this is not fair. I had a cold last BP! I want to sing "Northwest Passage" with Ande! Arrrrrgh.
Okay, enough complaining. So I guess I should write something, then. I wanted to write a flashfic on the plane, and I did get an idea, but it quickly became clear that it would be at least a 10,000-word fic and not something I could write for a flashfic challenge. But it's a due South science fiction AU, which I've wanted to write for some time, so I am squirreling the idea away for future use. (Also, I unexpectedly wrote 1500 words on an old WIP on the plane, so I'm not complaining.)
In the meantime, someone give me a due South (or possibly Wilby Wonderful) prompt for either the "stages" challenge or the "five things" challenge, with character or pairing and a word/phrase? I have no ideas leaping at me right now.

Have a wonderful time! Drink ridic amounts of tea!

Possibly Fraser Sr got killed in the cover-up for this.
