Sigh, I feel so capricious at the moment, like a whiny little kid. But this, up until now, is my best/well written story I have done! Which, I admit, is not saying much. :-(. Arg, need to get my head out of my rear and focus on writing my original NCIS ficathon entry, my NCISGenfanfiction Yahoo Group challenge, since A, it's my group and B, it was my idea so it would look really bad if I didn't come out with something good (as good as I can write something), and my Last Writer Standing fic, since that one got zero votes but a very nice comment from someone that had it as a second fav. The competition is rough and I plan to step it up!!!

I'm so psyched! I don't know what to say, what an honor! And I don't even think this story is all that great! Wow!

In other news, final are over and I'm happy!!!! Did really well in two exams the other is in the air so now I'm anxiously awaiting my grades.
Also, I'm trying to write an episode tag to last week's NCIS episode, but man, it's coming along slowly! I did write it, then I hated it because it felt wrong, so then I started it over three times before it's finally where I want it. Here's the first two paragraphs so maybe if anyone's reading, you could give me your opinion?
Split loyalties weren’t exactly a foreign concept to Tony, not like cool was to McGee and a hairstylist was to Gibbs. Tony understood it, not so much in the empirical sense but more in the intellectual; an experience that Tony occasionally brushed up against. He could say this with little trepidation and a complete straight face because Tony had never been loyal to anyone but himself most of his life. He’d learned long ago the price of placing his trust so easily on people. Too many betrayals, too many people close to him stabbing him in the back the moment it was turned.
So no, Tony didn’t have split loyalties. He never had any to begin with. Not in his personal life, the horde of weekly women and his superficial friendships could attest to that. Not in his professional life with his two yearly rotation of precincts and cities. He was a rouse, a pretender, the mitigated snake shedding its skin at any given situation.

Man, I sound like such a whiner!!! I really need to get my head out of my . . . and get back in the game. Now if only that was easier done than said.
Not only that, but I keep wondering about the future and I know that in the field that I want to enter will be hard to do, but now it seems almost impossible.

Another thing is, that despite my reservations and my immense insanity, or maybe because of it, I have decided to do one ficathon this year, well, maybe two. I want to do the SGA Genficathon and the NAVY NCIS ficathon like last year. So I already sighed up for one, and I have the idea, hopefully it won't come up being just too weird for people. Also, this time, I will not write a long fic, I'll stick to something from 5,000 words to 15,000, or maybe 20,000, but that's about it. Well, at least I have more than two months.
Other than that, I'm also working on an original piece that's going slower than a snail and school is keeping me busy. I'm hoping for good grades though!

HANDMADE MEME
The first five people to respond to this post (saying they want in on the meme) will get something made by me! My choice. For you.
This offer does have some restrictions and limitations:
- I make no guarantees that you will like what I make!
- What I create will be just for you.
- It'll be done this year.
- You have no clue what it's going to be. It may be a story. It may be poetry. I may draw or paint something.
- I may bake you something and mail it to you. Who knows? Not you, that's for sure!
- I reserve the right to do something extremely strange.
The catch? Oh, the catch is that you have to put this in your journal as well.
Okay, well, there it is. Ask and I'll think about it, heh!

Anyway, finals coming up, think I'll be doing pretty good in all my classes. I'm hoping for As all around.
Finally started my Twelve Days of Christmas project. Started with Criminal Minds first and it looks like it won't be a short one. I need to write these stories in two to three days to make my deadline, but if I don't make it, I will finish them and post them in one shot. I think I can make it, though, if I stay focused, but we'll see.

Well, need to get over it, moving on, in the literal sense. I'm getting together a project for Christmas, it's called the Twelve Days of Christmas, and the idea is writing twelve Christmas stories for the 25th and posting one a day. I don't know if I'll be able to pull it off, but I'm going to give it my best shot. The common theme is firsts. I'm going to be writing stories for Criminal Minds (Spencer-centered), King Arthur (Arthur-centered), Magnificent Seven (Vin-centered), Mutant X (Jesse-centered), NCIS (Tony-centered), Numb3rs (Don-centered), Psych (Shawn-centered), Stargate Atlantis (Rodney-centered), Supernatural (Dean-centered), Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (Leo-centered), X-Men Evolution (Scott-centered), X-Men Movie (Scott-centered). All of them gen, mostly friendship stories. No romance here.
Ambitious, I know, but hey, let's see what happens. I have the plots for the stories and the titles, so here's hoping that I'll be able to pull it off.
