Squee! A parcel arrived today, with lots of English picture books for my kiddy English class! Thank you so much, ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
mommanerd. I really appreciate your generosity. You're a peach!!!! *hug*
Tomorrow the Daniil Pashkoff Prize will be awarded in Braunschweig. Our chairperson is driving everybody nuts with last minute changes. I am to read two texts, which I haven't practiced yet. Oopsie. I have two award ceremony guests from out of town staying in our house for a couple of days, people I've never met before but who are friends of a friend. They are currently out, socialising, so not really a bother.
I'm thinking about re-animating![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
calliopes_board - maybe I'll create a few smallish writing exercises. Or maybe I'll post a few interesting quotes from books I read. Or a critique of books on creative writing. No friendslocking this time. It's a shame, all the communities I know that were are supposed to help fanfic authors write original stories are dreadfully inactive. However, I did find a useful community for writers: little_details. Whenever I have questions that google can't help me with, I go there.
Hubby and I had a vague idea for a German screenplay. We'll toss it around a bit, see if anything sticks...
My current writing style is erratic to say the least. I've been tinkering with 4 different stories over the past two days, among them *gasp* a Giles/Xander story, of all things. Not sure if it will go into slash territorry or friendship territory. It's post-Chosen h/c... nothing fancy, something I started ages ago, abandoned, found again, and decided to poke with a stick. So it's not like I actually started a new one. Because right now I'm avoiding new stories like the plague. That's why I'm not signing up for the Schmangst-a-thon even though I'm itching to. I mean, I'd love to read a good Lindsey/Spike h/c fic, but I just can't take on any more projects.
I also got bitten by a Giles/Spike plot bunny while watching A New Man a few days ago.lostgirlslair thinks I ought to write it, but I really won't. No way. If anyone wants it, here it is, ( behind the cut... )
PS: Does anybody know a fanfic archive that specializes in Initiative fics?
PPS: Can you tell how chipper I am? Yesterday's 'oh my god, fandom is waning' post elicited many many wonderful responses. I can feel the fandom love growing again. Yes!
