Just a Brief Ramble for the End of the Summer
Drive-by update, my friends. Hope you're all enjoying the Labor(less) Day weekend.
1 - I think the horrible house (the one I'm selling) thing is settled. I will (please keep your fingers crossed) be moving on September 10th. Cable and internet are supposed to be turned on and working by the afternoon of the 11th. Which means I should be able to watch WC and do the Dish. If I survive the move and all that jazz.
2 - White Collar Big Bang is DONE!!!!!!! Hurray and alleluia! Thirty-thousand words of pretty plotless Hurt/Comfort, and the last 20k came since the 20th of August. I'm ... exhausted. Many thanks to everyone who encouraged me, kept me going and believed in this story. My posting date is September 22. I feel so accomplished.
3 - Despite (or maybe because of) all of the packing (I didn't do), I have and haven't had a very prolific summer. Since July 1, I've written over 85k, including the to-be-published Big Bang and several longer WiP. But, if I was to only count the published stories, it's 43k. Word count and story count are definitely down from last year (63,400 and 30, respectively)
4 - I'm in a similar boat as fellow Big Bang writers - what to work on next? I have an RPF in the works, as well as my Poly Big Bang (but that's already well past the word count requirements). Also working on another chapter/timestamp for Wonder(ful) years. But you know what's pulling at me? My long dormant series, Vampire World. I think I'm going to take the time this week to post it on AO3 and get back into the feel of it. I know where the story's going and I have the ending in my head - I just haven't been motivated to write it. I'm in the mood for something that has nothing to do with Hurt/Comfort. Ever major story I've written in the last five months has serious physical H/C content - and since I don't normally do that type of h/c, this is kind of strange.
But I'm not making any promises, either.
5 - I am disappointed that I didn't get into the city for a single WC location shoot. Here's to next year...JE's already talking about S5, but has it been officially greenlit? (Bites at nails nervously).
There are other things going on...new house stuff that will frankly bore your socks off (fencing and appliances and house numbers and lighting and paint colors).
So, I'll leave you with this:

I love that 'verse too - it's such a joy to write.
no subject
Yesssssssssssssss.

JE has been talking about up to 8 seasons, though I am not sure if it is because he likes to dream or if he has some word from the gods that be -- I do know as of today no word has come down on any renewals for USA network shows. Which is weird. Usually they indicate this by mid August. Doesn't really mean anything. I do think that WC will be renewed for season 5. It hasn't done as well as in past years but it is not the bottom of the barrel. So I think we are safe.
And just for fun Neal showering.....

Sweeeeeeet!
Good luck with the move! I'll just be here staring at Bomer, the hardcore mofo.
no subject
Have they really already shot all of S4? Wow.
And I love that picture. It's just begging to go into the calendar.
no subject
I was able to go see White Collar filming this year (although I sadly didn't get to see any actual filming being done during the five times I went because they kept filming inside buildings lol), so I hope you get to go to a WC location next year (because they HAVE to have another season ...and then another and another).
no subject
And I really hope your move goes well. *sends good vibes* And I'm especially glad for you that your house thing has been sorted out :)
no subject
good luck with moving!

And so many wonderful stories to look forward to... Congrats on finishing the BB story - 5k more than you were planning on writing \o/ I had to check my calendar, your bb posting date is on Saturday, so that means I don't have to worry about reading til morning :P And the promise of more Wonder(ful) Years is always something that brings a huge smile to my face ♥ I love that verse so much!
Let me once again match that beautiful Bomer with adorable Deke... perfect for morning :P
no subject
Ohhhhh, looking forward to your BB! I love longer stories! At the moment I have about 80 stories on my kindle I yet have to read :D but I'm fast with them, so I'm always in need for new stuff. And a good H/C is always welcome.
Yeah, I want season 5 confirmed, too. I don't know if Jeff Eastin can be that sure of it before USA give it the green light. We can only hope. The ratings are okay, I think. Last ep again over 3 Mio. :)
Ohhhh, thanks again for a beautiful pic! *melt* ♥♥
So, keep your nerves and hold your ears tight! (Hope you know this saying)
Bye and XOXO

no subject
Yeah - the promos of him this season are just HOT!!!!!!!!!!!
no subject
Yeah - I saw tweets from Marsha and Tim about the wrap party, and JE about the final shooting day.
Yes, that picture does belong in the calendar...a full page, mebbe?
no subject
I came close, in late May - took the day off - but got rained out. And with everything going on, just taking a day to go into the city wasn't kosher.
Here's to next year!
no subject
And I hope so too - it's just been so long in anticipation and now it's running up on me like a speeding train.
BREATHE - TAKE DEEP BREATHS - BREATHE
no subject
But it's been in my head...so maybe posting it to AO3 will help!
Thank you again!
no subject
Can I bring you some coffee, Deke? You look like you could use it!
blink blink blink...
Okay - back to coherency!
Yeah - the BB got a little bigger than expected. But I'm pleased with it, plotless as it is.
THANK YOU!

Don't quite know what "hold your ears tight" means - something lost in translation?
