A note to self post.

I am super duper def blow out crazy busy at the moment, which means I cannot write as much as I want/need/require. Thusly I have backlog of ideas I haven't been able to process.

Normally I'm pretty good about knowing what stories I want to write, you know, since I *want* to write them and there only tend to be two or three really sticky ones at any given time. At the moment, however, I've taken to post-its and comments in other people's LJs (Sorry, Q!)to keep track and I just can't carry on like that. So, for my own edification:

1. Forever is a Mighty Long Time. Reincarnation!Merlin. Summary: You always know where you stand with walls. The same cannot be said for people. People are born, they live, they die. Walls, at least for a proper building, they don't move. You don't have to wait for them to come back.

2. Get Some. GK HS AU. I believe [livejournal.com profile] thisisbone is responsible for this title. Hey, it only took me three months to capitulate. Some people have to work me for YEARS to get what they want.

3. Boys in Lust and Stupidity: a Story in Spring Time. Merlin. The title is pretty self explanatory. And there will be sex. Copious amounts of it. And also allergies. And possibly flowers in somebody's hair, I dunno yet.

4. I'll Put Us Back Together at Heart. Merlin AU. Merlin as the prince of Camelot, Arthur is his manservant. Yes, that title came to me today when I was listening to the 80s station, because I am an 80s baby and if you're too young to know where it comes from, please don't tell me.

Oh god, my head hurts just looking at this list. Dear Buddha, please do not let all of these be more than 100 pages combined. I know, I laugh at me too, but if I could get just one of these to beta, by like, next week Friday (no, not that GK one, that's a real project), that would be fucking AWESOME.

Ohhhhh. These all sound so wonderful. Flowers in hair. Merlin as the prince. I'd pay cash money for any of these. You know, if I had any. *g*

2. Get Some. GK HS AU.

Oh dear, just the very *notion* of this is bringing me to tears. Or maybe that's the klonopin kicking in, whatever. LOVES.

Get Some. GK HS AU.

Can I bribe you with a lifetime LJ account to get you to move this to the top of the queue and complete this asap?! Seriously, it's that important to me. *grin*

Don't, don't, don't, dont.

When I was sick this week, my sister got me the PEOPLE Magazine Salute to the 80s, and it was brilliant reading for when one is out of one's head in fever and pain [/eloise].

Commenting just cuz you're awesome. And because writing!Stephen wanted to make an appearance to, you know, encourage you.

100 pages? Oh you crazy woman.

Dude, I love posting a To Write list in my LJ. 'Course, inevitably once I've written it down I get distracted by shiny things and wander away and never end up writing most of it...so, uhh, never mind. I'm a bad example.

Get Some. GK HS AU.

AHAHAHA! Oh, I LOVE the title! And yay!

(no, not that GK one, that's a real project)

More yay!

This whole list is like Christmas in... uh, February! Just, pure awesome.

*tries to be patient*

OMG, this list along with [livejournal.com profile] sparky77's list have made me a flaily ball of anticipation. *wants all the stories NOW*

LJ is the Internet's Post-It note. THAT IS IT'S ONLY USE.

All of those ideas sound pretty fucking amazing, IMHO. The Boys in Lust sounds extra great to me, but that's just because boys+pollen+flowers+sex= SEX POLLEN in my mind. That's probably not where you're going with it at all, but whatever. Merlin needs more cliche sex-pollen fics.
