Writing rambling

Hmmm. I am very tempted to sign up for schmoop_bingo and/or mundane_bingo once it goes online. Given the kinds of things I tend to write, they seem very appropriate. I probably won't, though, since any and all fic-writing challenges/exchanges/fests/prompts tend to make fandom feel like work, which is no good. (Which is not to say that I don't enjoy writing something suggested by one of y'all in the course of a conversation about something else, and sometimes a list of prompts will spark something, but the only deadlines/guidelines I like to have are self-imposed.)

However, of the four CI 'verse fics I have in progress at the moment (they just keep mushrooming! I will never finish anything!), three of them fit prompts from schmoop_bingo (well, assuming one likes their schmoop laced with political intrigue and the odd firefight, but hey, who doesn't like that?). One of the prompts also gave me an idea that I am resolutely tabling until I finish some of my backlog. The other in-progress fic is currently summarized as "Curtainfic with actual curtains, and other household objects," so it would likely fit mundane_bingo. Tempting, tempting. Eh, maybe I'll just pick and choose interesting prompts from the master lists and make my own personal card.

B5 Rewatch: "A Distant Star"

For those flisters/circleites on roughly the same rewatch schedule--or who would like to start a watch or rewatch--alto2 has started a re/watch community on LJ: beyond_the_rim. We're starting with "Midnight on the Firing Line" this Sunday, and continuing with two a week. There's going to be one spoiler-free and one spoiler-friendly post for each episode, so you're welcome whether you've seen the show before or not. Our tactic so far is to let members claim episodes to post about, be it discussion questions, meta/essays, picspams, fic recs, whatever, so there will be different POVs "leading the discussion" as we go on. (Of course, anything goes in the comments.)

Jooooooooooiiiiiin uuuuuuuuuuus.
