A Procrastination List

[ithildin]

I'm supposed to call an endontist per my new dentist to see why I've had pain in one tooth for three years. But I just keep looking at the referral note.

I've hit a wall on my fic. I know where it ends up, but can't seem to get there.

My blog continues to languish even though I received a lovely write up as one of the 'Blogosphere's very best of the distaff persuasion'. I just can't seem to write current events 'non fiction' types of things when I'm writing fiction. My brain seems to work on an either or sort of setting .

Can't seem to find a new fandom to rival my old ones. Is it they just don't make shows like they used to, or is it that I'm getting old and am in a rut? Or is it the people? Sometimes I think that may be it. I think enjoyment of a fandom is as much fellow fans that touch you as it is the show itself. I know, I know, when I started we banged rocks together and walked five miles in the snow :)

Don't mind me, I'm just feeling maudlin tonight.

As you know, I've been in fandom since the 80s. My new fav fandom (going on 2 years now) is Hellsing. Great manga (anime got me interested, manga kept me) with a complicated, in depth storyline. Excellent fanfic (particularly the C2 communities on fanfic.net). I love the fandom so yeah, I'd rec it highly:)

Walls, and fandoms

[hmpf.livejournal.com]

As you know, I can sympathise on hitting walls - it's my general modus operandi (write a sentence, hit a wall, wait a month, write another sentence, hit another wall, etc.) I have a stop-and-go brain, it seems. *g*

As for fandoms... well, if you want TV, I'd recommend Farscape, Life on Mars, Doctor Who - in exactly that order. Farscape's the show that bowled me over and moved my world, Life on Mars is the recent discovery I'm still quite passionate about, and has a nice, cozy little fandom, and Doctor Who, well, need I explain Doctor Who? ;-)

This is why I follow the same people into new fandoms. :) A bunch of us gafiated from FK/XF/HL into BtVS into a whole branching-out of fandoms (SG1/SGA/FS and on from there), and yet-- We're still together.

And one thing you'll see is that LJ does help keep people in touch, even if not everyone can reply to everything. I have friends on here from back in the day of FK fandom, but we're not really in the same fandom any more. And yet, we still try to hook each other into our new series and chat about anything and everything. Which is why I'm so glad that you've got your LJ and we're back in touch!
