...but that's not what this post is about. The 1999 film version of Oklahoma! changed my life. Hugh Jackman in chaps...

I posted a preview of WG Ch.12 at the HPFF forums and Elderly HP Fans! Check it out. I hope to update in early March.

I'm trying to embed video just to see how it works, and this should be a clip from Arrested Development. If you find my sense humor even remotely funny, I strongly recommend this show. Like, with all the conviction I've got. The characters are marvelous and get into such crazy hijinks...sometimes I fall out of my chair laughing. AD is The Office meets Lost meets The Royal Tennenbaums.

Here we see an aspiring actor (Tobias) audition for a commercial, but his wife (Lindsey) may have more to her acting chops that meets the eye. (Sorry if the AD plugging is annoying, but come on! They're having a FIRE SALE!! AMAZING GRACE...save the children! Plus I'm trying to convert people to watching AD so I have someone to talk about it with =D.)

I think the title means "hello" in Korean. I probably shouldn't rely on the foreign language skills I learn watching Arrested Development, but there you go.

Hey guys! Just a little update here. I have about 1500 words of WG Ch. 12 done and I think it's going well. I'm shooting for 4000 but it might be 6000, and still only the first half of what I'd normally deem a complete chapter. Because spring semester is well underway and, well, I go to a hard school (I try really hard not to brag about it, because I'm the last person to care about the Ivy League (I want us to secede), but Brown ain't clown college). Last semester was horrific in the grade department and I really need to step up. So I'm shooting for WG in mid to late March. I will do my best to sum it up in nine words: secret alliances, mistaken paternities, and dark strangers in alleyways.

I hope you all are well, and I hope that you stick with WG despite the wait! I know I'm a cotton-headed ninnymuggins sometimes, and theoretically I should quit fanfiction and focus on what "matters", but this matters to me. That probably falls into either the category of corny or the category of weird, so I think I'll stop there.

Hokay, so I've completed my Detailed Plan for Chizzzapter 12 (I write it as such here because I've come to the realization that my WG notes are almost all in ebonics), and I have a lot that I want to cover. It'll milk a week (or two if I play my cards right) out of the plot, so hopefully it feels like we're moving along. I have no idea what the projected word count is, since it always changes when I actually sit down and write the thing. But my dilemma is whether to split this bad boy into two chizzzapters.

Ch. 11 of We Gryffies is up, entitled "V.O.L.D.E.M.O.R.T." Read it!

K, I literally have one more scene to write for Ch. 11 WG, and I promise that it will be up sooner than projected! (See, I have been writing.) I'm also waiting on this thing for the chapter image...I don't want to spoil the surprise, but the base photo really needs to be edited, and you'll see why.

Yeah! 1500 words of We Gryffies Ch. 11 so far! w00t! (Don't you dare spell w00t with o's instead of zeroes.)

Because I haven't emulated JKR nearly enough (what with using her characters and her world to create my own fiction), I'm going to follow her lead again and wish my characters a happy birthday. (Provided I actually remember, of course.) For the canon ones, I've naturally made up their birthdays if it's not given, so these are just when I like to think these guys were born.
