Death knell for my big bang....

[livejournal.com profile] reel_merlin is starting up for Round 4!!

OMG, so many things I want to write. What to sign up for?? Do I have any hope of actually getting the one that I try for every year?? Can you tell I like this fest??

I like that you like this fest!

It's probably a little sad how shiny-eyed I get planning my movie adaptations (okay, a lot sad!)

Eeeeeeeeeeeeee!! This is going to be fun.

[identity profile] corilannam.livejournal.com 2011-04-27 05:22 pm (UTC)(link)
It is going to be crazy awesome. I can't wait to see what you're planning!

Worst.timing.EVER.

No clue why they'd running it at the same time as Big Bang. I am still claiming that damn prompt, even if I probably won't be able to finish.

YESSSSS, you must claim! And then WRITE LIKE THE WIND.

It is very unfortunate timing, especially just as I'm getting into this other story. But hey, we've been talking about our reel fics for months, so that's gotta help, right?

[identity profile] anna-zee.livejournal.com 2011-04-27 06:00 pm (UTC)(link)
Not necessarily. I've been talking about my big bang story for years and look where that's gotten me!

[identity profile] corilannam.livejournal.com 2011-04-27 06:17 pm (UTC)(link)
Hush. It's going to be glorious. Fic as far as the eye can see. *nods*

And BTW...you are not allowed to start neglecting the other story!

I couldn't if I tried. They're always there, staring at me. Very much like your icon.

Aww... I was looking forward to your BB.

No worries, I'm not giving up on it!

Can I ask? Which movie do you try for every year??

Also I can't wait to see whatever you write!!!

[identity profile] corilannam.livejournal.com 2011-04-28 02:49 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, I guess I never really made a secret of it -- Dirty Dancing. I always end up writing my back-up idea instead, which always seems to be an action movie, and I'm sure this year will be the same.

Um. Okay. LJ just ate part of my first comment - like an entire sentence in the middle, WTF?? Let's try this again:

I KNOW!! I just signed up for [livejournal.com profile] gwaine_quest and now [livejournal.com profile] reel_merlin?? OMG. What's a girl to do?? I'm going to see how far I am on my BB when the sign-ups roll around. ACK. SO MANY WORDS TO WRITE /o\

OMG!! Sorry for the 10,000 edits. LJ is fucking with my mind right now. LOL.

LOL! I think LJ is judging us for signing up for too many challenges! SOOO MANY WORDS.

I know I'll sign up for reel_merlin no matter what, so I'm going to have to find some way to cloister myself this summer and just pound out a lot of fic. Not easy to do in the summer, unfortunately.

Ha, yeah I might give up on BB. Not the fic, just writing it for BB, because I'm just not getting it done fast enough. And I've never written a reel_merlin fic but I had an idea and I don't think the movie has been done before and I am suddenly REALLY excited about the way the plot would work and augh. I just need a longer attention span. Or to only write short fics. XD

[identity profile] corilannam.livejournal.com 2011-04-28 04:35 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, I hear you on the BB. Sometimes these deadlines help get things done, but sometimes they're just not going to happen.

Glad to hear you were inspired for reel_merlin! You definitely should sign up, and I can't wait to hear about your idea!
