...four days. I wrote this whole chapter in four days. Admittedly, I had about 600 words sitting in a notebook for the last month just needing to be typed, but still.

7000 fucking words. That's 400 more than Jazz rambled in chapter 1.

What the balls, Soundwave?

I have a bad feeling a good chunk of this is going to have to be cut back out due to rambling and projecting entirely too much of my headspace Soundwave where it doesn't belong. =/ I'm going to need one hell of a beta.

...though I'm kind of half amused and half frustrated that, so far, I'm only just barely following the huge, detailed outline I'd written out in February.

*beeeeeeeeeedz*

It is four in the fucking morning. Why am I still up? D: Oh yeah - my self-imposed goal of 2000 words a day in order to force myself to not be an epic failure and have to drop scifibigbang. That I didn't start trying to do anything with until 11 pm. D'oh.

...at least I managed said 2000 words? Not sure how good they are, but, um...words are words? Maybe?

*GOES TO BED NOW*

This whole the_fic_trader thing has fully reminded me of my love/hate relationship with writing for other people. I like the challenge of getting out of my comfort zone and getting into the heads of characters I don't normally go to, but at the same time, I hate the nervous wreck it makes me worrying I'm ultimately going to disappoint whoever I'm writing for. D: Baw.

What is it with me and creating/falling for crack pairings that no one else would write? How am I supposed to get a pairing fix if I'm the only one who'd write it? D: Seriously, brain, WTF?

I really need to post more. I suck.

Went to BotCon, as everyone knows - had a blast, as usual. The dealer's room was kind of sucky, as everyone also knows, but I still found stuffs. ♥ Not what was actually on my shopping list, but I didn't expect to since most of that was third-party and, thus, banned. Baw.

Posted pictures of my bookmarks to DA. Still kind of reeling from the mountain of favorites they got. oO A friend managed to relay the ones I made for Peter Cullen and Frank Welker to Mr. Cullen, and I got to give Dan Gilvezan's to him myself, so yay~ I'm still thinking of making more and seeing if I can sell them, but I want different patterns first so those will stay unique.

Speaking of bookmarks, I just realized I never posted a picture of this one here. Around Christmas, I made an Ironhide bookmark for rageai, but I was derpy and forgot to take pictures of it before I sent it to her. She took photos a while back which I thought I posted, but nope! So, here's ( Ironhiiiide~ )

On a different note, everyone go over and congratulate ryagelle for graduating! This semester's been hell for her, especially the last two months, and she deserves a mountain of cookies for making it through.

So, I mentioned a while back that I was making Peter Cullen an Optimus bookmark, right? I finally finished it last week.

( Priiiiime )

Also, Dan Gilvezan, the original voice actor for Bumblebee, is going to be there. I found this out last month sometime, maybe late February. Did I think to make him a 'Bee bookmark then? No.

Did I think to make him a 'Bee bookmark four and a half days ago?

( YES. )

If you break it down into mere hours of work, I made Bumblebee in the hourly equivalent of less than two days.

I am a fucking boss.

Okay, so I got deceptikitty all set up over on Dreamwidth a while ago, and I just now got around to posting new crap (and I mean crap) on both DW and LJ versions of it.

Like, whut? NK wrote? Le gasp! I'd say "maybe this makes up for not doing shit on SFBB for the last month"...except it doesn't, really.

Though I'm kinda proud of the last thing - I wrote it in two nights between 3 and 4:30 in the morning.

Also: concert Saturday was as awesome as I hoped it would be. The very first thing they played (after the opening montage) was Rockman. Cue NK bawling from an acute nostalgia attack. Got to talk with Tommy Tallarico after the concert, and he said he's been doing Video Games Live for almost 10 years now, and I'm the first person to cry for Rockman.

And then he hugged me.

Squeeeee.

You didn't see me epically fail at posting on my fic comm. Nope. Didn't happen.

Just killing some time until I need to start getting dressed to run down to El Dorado and go to Video Games Live~ So excited - I've wanted to go to this for years, but they never toured close enough to Arkansas (closest was usually somewhere in Texas 6-8 hours away), but they finally came within a reasonable driving distance (though El Dorado's kind of a "whut?" destination). And damn did BotCon cut it close with picking its date. If BotCon had overlapped with VGL, I would have canceled BotCon. Living in this area, this is pretty much a once in a lifetime shot of seeing VGL, so hell yeah, I'd give it priority.

But I didn't have to~ Yay ♥ I got my tickets last year - ma's going too as is my nephew. Pretty much going to be gone all night.

Will post something a bit more substantial and less geeky...later.

So, LJ, in its never-ending wisdom wtfery, has decided that the LJ cut format we've had for...what, almost 10 years now? Is no longer acceptable. No more parentheses. Now it's been changed to a completely weird icon of an ellipsis and a pair of scissors...that don't even look like scissors, seriously. I first saw it on one of mininise28's entries and thought it was a wrench, and at first I thought it was cute seeing as how wrench = Ratchet and all, but then I saw it in other entries, and the cute wore off fast. Cuts seem a lot harder to notice now.

SO. The point of this entry: zweiundzwei came up with a fix here that, from what I've seen, works for everyone whether you're a paid, plus, or basic account, and I wanted to boost the signal in case this change annoys anybody on my flist. I take absolutely no credit for this. I'm just passing the word along.

Go to Customize where you choose your journal layout, then Customize Journal Style, and paste this into the Custom CSS field:
.ljcut-link { color:transparent; margin-left:-25px; }
.ljcut-link:before { content:"( "; color:#000000; padding-left:25px; }
.ljcut-link:after { content:" )"; color:#000000; }
.ljcut-link a { margin-left:-25px; }

This brings back the old look of LJ cuts on your friends page and whenever you use ?style=mine like for communities. Just change #000000 to whatever the font color is for your journal theme. Only problem is it doesn't work on IE8 (it does weeeeird things on IE8).

One of these days, I might post something more substantial. I really need to post more, especially with all the crap going on IRL.
