silent night
Dec. 26th, 2018 10:20 pm...it's been very quiet, I hope everyone is enjoying their holiday and time with family! (and I also hope everyone who needs a little alone time can squeeze some in! family can be fun but also overwhelming) (also maybe everyone is hurrying to finish their secret santa gifts? who knows!)
Slowly but surely, I am making my way through the food travel AU! As I mentioned in my last goals post, I read them before (more like a speed-read), but am now going back and commenting. Four down, five to go! (Because I'm not counting my own obviously) I can appreciate them much better when I'm not trying to take notes to prepare for writing my own chapter, ha. Seriously some very sweet moments in there, between the food & the fluff!
(Also, yes, I know, no goals post last Sunday -- it's the holidays, consider this a sort of goals post, lite edition)
I prepped an album for some of the places mentioned in At the Confluence of History and Hope (these are my personal photos, so! there's that). I've written a plan for some visual reference posts I plan on posting to tumblr (photo sets with excerpts; these will include photos of food) but I've been too busy with family stuff to move further than that.
Husband and I went to see On the Basis of Sex last night and it was amazing! Great story, great writing, and of course Felicity was fantastic. Especially enjoyed the line, "...could topple the whole damn system of discrimination..." because, well, you know I couldn't help but think of a certain other line...
Also went to see the Zoo Lights tonight and they were very beautiful! I kind of want to incorporate that setting into a fic somehow. (The bright, multi-colored lights seem to float on their own in the dark sky... and everyone on the ground is weirdly silhouetted, you can barely make out a face, sometimes a person is barely more than a shadow, barely noticed until you run into them!) Maybe an alien world? Some beautiful alien bio-luminescence? Oooh, maybe the caves where Jyn and Lyra's rebel cell resides in my You've Got Mail in-universe AU? Hmmmm will have to ponder!
