- Today I waited in a very long line to mail a letter to Cyprus. Cyprus is very far away.

- I am the only person on LJ apparently interested in: artistic family, creative family, dying worlds, gentlemanly arts. This makes me sad.

- Fandom. Fandom & LJ. Fandom, LJ & Fundies. Oh my and oh dear and I suppose I should say something cogent about it all, but why, especially because it's so weirdly peripheral to me and those involved have more to say more clearly.

- New Novel in 90 round starts June 1. I'm going for it.

- Really wanting to do a young Abraxus story for Descensus, but have to find it first.

- *sigh*

It's like Nanowrimo over a more reasonable period of time.

Oh, jeez, Novel in 90 - thanks for the reminder. I too intend to do it in June. All week it's either been "Why isn't it June already?" or "Wait, it's almost June?" depending on whether I am waiting for June's paychecks or whining about my to-do list.

I have been wanting to add creative family for a while, but people with lone interests are often so proud of them, as if they're low-number license plates. Mind if I horn in?

Done. I guess it takes a bit for them to link. Hmm, that leaves "my amazing book" as my sole, unshared interest. Oh wait, did I just add that? *cough*

Actually, I'm interested in gentlemanly arts, but have no idea where to start. The best I've fround is a great book on leter writing that I found on google books. Circa 18xx.

I'm interested in those things, but don't necessarily use those words to describe them.

my cat is trying to eat all the paper on or around my desk.

also, if I weren't spending June and July writing student reports and my thesis, I would join you in noveling.

you're definitely not the only one - i just don't have them in my interest list. :) i could add them if it will make you feel less lonely.

what's the link again for novel in 90? i have an idea brewing that might be good for that kind of environment...

dying worlds, gentlemanly arts

You aren't, but I've deliberately never listed interests, because I've worked and played with cross-indexed data long enough to know that it was just a matter of time until something like this Warriors for Innocence thing exploded. I have no doubt that it's far from the worst we'll ever see.

Indeed.

Right now, I'm debating doing a big Gather article on it, but I don't know if it will make more more of a target than I am prepared to deal with.

I'd love more information about Novel in 90!

Um... allow me to introduce myself... I am a friend of [profile] storyjen. Months and months ago, she referred me to Associated Content via your LJ and I only recently got around to joining. Now that I have, I got curious and dropped by again. I'm very interested in your writing and just thought I'd say hi. So, um, hi!

But seriously, where can I find out more about Novel in 90? Because I was planning to work on my novel next month already, but a community might be helpful...

Thanks! I'll be watching your LJ and AC, and thanks for (indirectly) introducing me to AC!

I added "gentlemanly arts" to my profile half an hour before this whole thing blew up and I dropped my whole interests list temporarily. Back now.
