Random stuff
It's been a HOT weekend, considering it's April. I think it was hotter today than we got any time last summer. I'm really hoping for a good summer this year; the last two have been wet and unpleasant most of the time.
I'm working on the launch of this year's spn_summergen; signups are due to open next week. I've also been going through the first round of edits on my big bang fic; There's less to change than I expected. A few things needed to be cut, and there were some scenes to add. I also got rid of some dangling plot threads, but as this is part one of a series (I suspect a trilogy, but it's not as well planned as Predator was so it could go several ways) there are some things not resolved by the end. That said, I feel it is very much a complete story. The end is an ending, then there's a short epilogue which sets up what will follow.
I'm going to need a beta soon. Anyone up for it? 55k, PG13-ish (maybe R, it depends), het-ish. Dark stuff, though.
With all the buzz about NBC's reboot of Wonder Woman I decided I needed to refresh my memory of the original '70s series. I was such a fan of that show as a kid, but I haven't really seen it since the early 80's. I'm partway through series 2.
You know, I'd forgotten how explicitly feminist the Wonder Woman character is. It makes sense that she would be, but I'd forgotten the details. Although it doesn't always work, I'm loving it so far. The fight scenes are laughable though. She just kinda shoves guys and they go down. Since the choreography is crap, mostly they go down before she shoves them! I keep wanting to yell at her to take lessons from Xena!
I'm kinda making a mental list of what I hope NBC will fix and what I hope they'll keep. No telling if the result will be close to the show I'm hoping for, but we'll see. It could be good. Anyone know when it's supposed to premiere?
