Someone tell the weather it's still May
May. 24th, 2010 07:10 amToo damn hot!
The good news is on Saturday I finished the match-ups for spn_summergen. I just need the approval of my co-mods (that'll take a while, as my spreadsheet needs to be checked quite carefully) and then we can work on sending out the assignments next week - right on schedule. I enjoy the matching job: it's a challenge that suits me, but it takes a lot of intensive work.
A lot of post-apocalypse prompts this year...not really a surprise given the season's subject matter. A lot of requests for crossovers with procedural shows. I don't get that. I mean, I understand those shows are popular, SPN is so complex, with real characterisation, relationships, complicated plot arcs...it just seems odd to me that someone who enjoys that would also enjoy the shallow world of procedurals. The crossover prompts are always fun, though. I guess as a mod I should refrain from commentary, but there was one I really wished I could have matched, just to see how the story would turn out...even though it was a fandom I dislike. But the only one who offered that fandom was the person who requested it. No match possible, although maybe the person who gets that prompt set will know the fandom.
I spent Sunday trapped in the special Hell known as "a family barbeque" all day. Sis insisted we do it, since the weather is good and might not stay that way. I made lemonade from real lemons. And did my best to stay out of the way. Sis thought it was a good idea to save lighting the charcoal until last, with the result that it took forever to get hot enough to cook on. But it was nice eating outside, and the dogs had fun begging everyone for a share.
This week will hopefully be more relaxing. I plan to catch up on my other commitments and then write fic. Good plan.
