kaydeefalls: raven smiles brilliantly (raven hearts you)
Reread Hunger Games Monday night and Catching Fire last night, trying to hold off on giving Mockingjay another go immediately because there are totally other things I'd like to be doing with my limited and quickly-disappearing free time but seriously, who do I think I'm kidding. And now vid bunnies are biting for the first time in months, which is a pity, because there is no Hunger Games source yet and the ideas I have really need to wait for the rest of the movies to be made anyway. But theoretically, somewhere in the future, it's entirely possible I will do another Vienna Teng vid series for Hunger Games, because her songs, they are speaking to my fandom brain again. "Hope On Fire", definitely -- lyrics far too eerily appropriate, ugh, my heart. (Gotta leave, gotta bleed / You've gotta stop lying still / 'cause this is no kind of life. CHRIST.) I want some Catching Fire footage for that one, though, for obvious reasons. And I'll have to wait through all of Mockingjay for "Gravity", which very much wants to be an endgame Katniss/Peeta vid (So don't turn away now / I am turning in revolution / These are the scars that silence carved on me). But, y'know. That. HELP ME I AM HAVING FEELINGS, CANNOT COPE.

Zero fic drive for this fandom, though. I might trawl AO3 for any decent Katniss/Peeta fics, but I don't have high hopes, and I have no interest in writing anything except possibly that X-Men fusion bunny where District 13 is run by Charles Xavier, who's been keeping it hidden from the Capitol for years and years and yeah, no way do I have any intention of writing this, I have a whole 'nother fusion 'verse to finish.

Anyway. Went home early from work today because I felt like shit -- I've been sick for about a week now, and it's starting to really piss me off. Not seriously ill, just a bad cold or minor flu or whatever, but it's lingering on way longer than it has any right to, probably because I haven't had a single day off to actually rest (and won't get one until the last weekend of April). I'm just exhausted. But there's nothing I can do about that. Next show loads in Friday.

Okay, going to try to keep writing X-Men fic now. (I have managed to write a complete scene today. This is...not really progress.)

FANDOM.

HELLO. So my ridiculous awesome bizarre abstract underwater puppet show is now over -- that was a whirlwind couple of weeks right there. Strike was yesterday, it SUCKED, I will never not hate strike with every fiber of my being, but it's over so who cares. The next one kicks in starting Friday, this time with 100% less GIANT WATER TANKS THAT NEED TO BE DRAINED AND REFILLED EVERY DAY, so that's cool, but it basically means I need to cram all the fandom in I can in these four weekday evenings because it's my last good shot until the end of April.

So first off, X-Men Reversebang! I somehow managed to get online at just the right time for claims -- which, given that was literally the ONLY time I got on my laptop at all on Saturday, I'm kind of impressed with myself -- and then was lucky enough to land my first choice, which is by far the prettiest and everyone else can just go home. :P I kid, all the art was gorgeous, but anyway. I felt a bit guilty at first, because it looks like a lot of other people had wanted to claim that art, while my second choice remains unclaimed, and I'd actually had a much stronger plotbunny for my second choice but the one that I wound up marking as first was just so strangely compelling despite my lack of clear story idea that, well, yeah. I almost felt like I should offer to swap claims for a minute there. But having had a couple of days to mull it over, this morning I basically woke up with a sudden rabid plotbunny -- or, well, scattered-strong-images bunny, there is no plot yet, but I know several scenes I want to write with VIVID clarity and, yeah, I'm really glad I got this prompt. Haven't heard anything from my artist yet -- I sent her a long rambling excited e-mail early this morning, but no response -- but that's okay, I'm not really going to be able to start writing anything for a while yet. First priority this week is desperately trying to complete the next chapter of Queen's Gambit, though I make no promises. But it's a goal. I only have like 5k to write and I know what needs to happen in it, I don't know why I'm getting so hung up on this, but that's kind of been a general theme for this whole dratted fic. Oh, well.

Second, I FINALLY SAW HUNGER GAMES THIS AFTERNOON OMG OMG OMG. spoilers: IT WAS AWESOME )
