luzulaOn the plus side, I have:
- methelens78!
- 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.

If you want to really complicate things, and have him torn in several directions, how about having his ex-wife Stella be the person with ties to the terraforming company (her dad's company, maybe)? Ray would be torn between helping Fraser, his duty, and protecting Stella (all three things priorities for him).
Whatever you decide to do, I'm looking forward to it! :D
I'll be happy to beta for you, if you like.
