wednesday.

Although it's been altogether a quiet day today, things have still happened. I read the rest of the 1905 edition of A Woman Appeared to Me (greatly enjoyed, I still think it works better than the 1904 version, though I miss some of Vally/Lorely's characterisation as well as the physical embodiment of San Giovanni) and got an introduction of the fandom written for bethefirst as well as outlining the concept of the fic I'm gonna write. Hope to begin writing the fic itself next week, maybe...



I've also tagged (RP) with Sylvie and had a lot of fun with that. I'm really looking forward to taking her to a game, I think she'll be a good match there. For now, I've put the prep work for her novella on hold, just until I've finished my read-through of the novel.

I'm at chapter 4, which I hope to finish tonight, then two chapters a day until I should be done by start-next week. I still catch minor (and not so minor) errors, mistakes, typos, etc., so it's a necessary job, although I was always exceedingly bad at the whole editing process.



The date for final draft being due for smallfandombang is drawing nearer and I am just coming to the conclusion that I won't be getting beta work done on my fic. It's okay, I've read it through and am genuinely satisfied with it, so I can live with whatever errors and typos and such that I've overlooked, because the overall impression is really good, if you ask me. I need to skim it before making ready to post, also need to format the motherfucker, so that's gonna take a day's work at least. Once dates for posting have been settled. Artwork is done for it and looks nice, so it's all good. Very satisfied with my contribution for this one, can I just say...



There has been a lot of stuff re: my birthday and finding a date for it, because I wanted my dad and me to combine our birthdays (mine is the 20th, his is April 1st), so I wouldn't have to travel for something big twice in two weeks, and so far I don't know whether we're doing the 28th or 29th, but both dates are in K's vacation time, so no matter what, it should work all right.

I'm going into work tomorrow to pick up Leroux's Phantom of the Opera at my local bookshop, then I'll buy my dad's birthday present on the way back. He's getting some wine glasses and a particular corkscrew he's wished for. Both things should be available in the same store, so that's relatively easy-peasy. But yeah, that's the plan for tomorrow morning. Then, I'll spend the afternoon reading my two chapters and the evening on RP'ing.

Should be a day.
