Look who's back!
Nov. 4th, 2012 09:07 pmDid you miss me? I knew you missed me!
Look at this! This is an update of all things ME! (I might be tired and I still have a lot of writing to do)
ANYway. Heres what happened lately.
Translation
Work continues. There are some developments which I don't want to talk about yet, but I'm very excited.
I managed to lure in two new staffers into our fold, which leaves me pretty excited. I hope we'll be able to go into 2013 with a lot of active and enthusiastic people, so that my world domination plan moves forward. There is a lot to do and I clearly need minions :)
We also (finally) managed to send out the newsletters for translators. It was a long and painful process. If we're lucky we'll be able to send out another one before the year's end.
The newsletter is important because among other things, it asks the translator about their preferred communication platform. Once we get enough voices on this we'll be able to concentrate on community building. Are you excited? because I am.
Fanlore
After taking a month-long break from it, I went back and started on Fanlore today. My biggest problem is getting over my mental block. Sometimes I just want to add one sentence or two, or point out something I find interesting. But more often than not, the page I would add that sentence to doesn't exist and I don't want to create a whole new page just to add that one insight.
I know that fanlore people will tell me it's okay and I can do that (or, at least, I assume they'd say that), but creating a brand new page for Chibs (Sons of Anarchy) just to say there's an ongoing argument among fanfic writers where one faction writes his accent in dialogues and the other argues it's stupid and makes it more difficult to read fic doesn't seem very professional.
As a result I don't make as many additions as I'd like to and it sucks. I know, I know. Woe is me.
NaNoWriMo
I'm doing NaNo this year with two of my friends. It's already insane, but I got a desktop version of Write or Die and that combined with my Scrivener really gets me writing. Sure I';m a little behind on the wordcount, but I'm still getting a lot words down. So, you know, keep your fingers crossed for me.
Primeval
So I watched the first episode of Primeval:New World, which of course made me rewatch all five seasons of the original Primeval I have on DVD. I miss Becker. I miss Connor. I miss long, good fics. I finished season 2 today (in between OTW work, writing and procrastinating)
2 hours later
I went on Tumlr to give you some primeval gifs. But I got distracted.
so you don't feel cheated as I spent hours staring at pretties and you got this post instead.
