byslantedlightOn the way to work this morning I passed the bizarre little shooting range/polo ground place by the roundabout, and through the winter-shorn trees I saw a row of about a dozen little tommies, all in camoflage - with rain capes and backpacks - lying down on a little rise of grass and peering through their rifle scopes at a set of targets! It was just like on t'telly! Nine-thirty on a misty-rain wet Friday morning... awww! Guess who I was imagining out there with them? Ah, lads in training... Ooh, and there's various lads-on-manouevres fic actually, isn't there... Hmmn... Army Games by Sebastian... erm... what else?!
I'm feeling... maybe in a mood to write a wee Pros ficlet, between jobs? I have longer fic to write, but I need to concentrate on that, so... would anyone like to give me a prompt? A mood, an atmosphere for the lads to be in? A random word or two? Not a plot, cos half the fun for me is figuring out how the lads get to the prompt, but... would anyone like?
HG... has anyone been in touch with HG recently? Actually had emails/letters or anything from her? See, ages ago she sent me some letterzines on loan, and I've been trying to get in touch with her for ages now to send them back. It's been long enough that I've not wanted to just randomly send them to the address where we were corresponding before, but she's not replied to any of my attempts to get in touch, which seems unlike her from our previous (admittedly relatively brief) emails and all... I tried via her Auto Hatstand posts and all, but no reply... I'm sure she wants these letterzines back, but I'd hate for them to get lost... And it occurs to me that anyone can set up an AH account and call themselves anything - I could set up as Jane, nick her stories from Proslib, or scan them from zines, and put them up, pretending to be her, so... eek. Does anyone have any news?
Oh... stuff! My flist is full of SPN and other fandoms, and I spend so much more time scrolling down these days (ah, poor little finger... *g*) but even more bizzarely, people are doing odd things with DW, and I'm going to be forced to decide how to deal with this, aren't I... On the one hand, it's weird having posts on my lj to which you can't comment, and instructions to go somewhere else if you want to talk to them, knowing that if they then talk to you back you're not going to know about it unless you randomly check their DW account... And apparently I'm not readable in DW, DW people still have to physically come to lj to do that, and... and none of that is going to make me move to DW - I'm happy here with Pros in lj, and... and I hate to "lose people" but on the other hand, I like the fact that Pros lj is a community, and when that's all split up again and again it's... something else entirely... and... *sighs* Oh, it's kind of like friends moving away to another city, isn't it! You know that in theory you can still keep in touch, but... Only these gradual moves are a bit different actually - some of my flist moved away completely, and I thought oh but got used to not seeing them around. This other way around is... disturbing. It's like someone moved away and then made the effort to write and phone and stuff, but is now saying cool, but now you have to come and visit me if you ever want to chat..., which is a whole different thing... I'm more of a rip-the-bandaid-off kind of girl, I guess... Gargh. Which really means I should just defriend DW-ers who move away completely, shouldn't I... *sighs* Is anyone else worritting about this?
I friended myself. Which is kind of weird, but it's also kind of a good shortcut to replying to people in my own posts, cos I have my friends page open all the time... What d'you reckon, will I get better about it all?!
Aaaand... I've kind of been reading around my PhD again, a bit, and feeling quite... you know... interested again... *g* Be a bugger if I get all interested and then the funding doesn't come through, mind... I'm getting very bored with being boring, though... *g*
And Pros on the big screen! Pros on a boat! MS back in Windsor! Wheeeee!
We have rain. Many, many raindrops on my office window... that's cool. But it'll be nicer when I'm home and cosy...

Date: Friday, 12 February 2010 06:18 pm (UTC)I'm also happy with the multi-fandom nature of my flist. It's bound to happen. People aren't static. We grow and change, and our interests are bound to grow and change with us. I like seeing what people are talking about, even if it's something I may not be directly involved with. I'm nosy that way. :-)
That being said, I'm fairly certain I'm one of the chief Supernatural posting people on your flist. The fandom has admittedly swallowed up my interest. If you want to defriend me, I'll understand. No harm, no foul. Everyone has to do what they have to do.

Date: Saturday, 13 February 2010 09:35 am (UTC)People do grow and change, of course they do - that's life! And sometimes we grow apart, which I always think is sad. It's natural, just like death is!, but it's sad... *g* And I'm just not currently multifandom (even when I was enjoying TW I wasn't really multifandom as such), so I'm going to get alot of this! It'd be strange not to see you on my flist now and then! And you've been posting about snow too! (Btw, it works the other way around too - if you're done enough with Pros to want to defriend me and be spared my witterings, then do feel free! I just always assume people will, if they want to... *g*)

Date: Saturday, 13 February 2010 03:32 pm (UTC)No, it's like I said in my original post--I like how multi-fannish my flist is. It's interesting to me to be introduced to new things or to be reminded of old favorites. I'm not as active in Pros as I once was, but I still love the lads.
You'd mentioned Supernatural specifically and said you'd had no interest in that (Which is totally fine! I'd never force the Winchesters on you.), so I figured I'd offer you the option. I'm pretty head over heels for Sam and Dean, so that's probably what you'll be seeing from me in the near future.

Date: Sunday, 14 February 2010 09:30 am (UTC)I've watched a couple of SPN eps, and it just hasn't grabbed me I'm afraid - hey ho! The same thing's happened with other fandom rushes before, mind - I guess I have so many more people on my flist now though, that it's all more obvious to me!
