Why yes I am very grumpy

Why yes, I would rather be writing a book chapter than working on my NFE.  Oh please, yes, because I so adore work done in the name of "development" that others give me because "it is good for me." 

Excuse me, but at my age, I'm entitled to know what is good for me and what is not.  Exercise is good for me.  Fannish fun is good for me (as opposed to fannish angst (gawd, what is with me a fail?) which makes me an insomniac).  Watching the latest update to the Lizzie Bennet Video Diaries is good for me.  Trying to write a 20,000 word chapter in three days is not good for me.  oh, yeah, I get a pub credit.  Yippee.

Here, see Bing Lee and Jane Bennet be totally adorable:


Adorbs, right? I am so in love with the casting and with Charlotte's story arc. Last week's episode with Caroline was a complete thrill for me. I'm really curious how they are going to handle th e Wickham/Georgiana/Lydia issue. I just don't think that seduction, eloping or even pregnancy is enough. I think it's going to be a bit grimmer.
And Princess Leia is going to be an X-Wing pilot, which I know some are sort of down on, but I think it's pretty cool.
Also, anyone else watching Twitter and getting depressed at not being at San Diego Comic Con?  Sigh.  Really, I'm sure it would be too crowded.  Really.

Oh PFEH to them - if you want to write the chapter, thats awesome, but otherwise, 20k in THREE days? Have they heard of sleep? Or editing? Or food? Or sleep?

I've spent part of last night in catchup mode with the Lizzie Bennet diaries and am halfway through though I did see mention of Bingley/Bing Lee in the most recent video.

As for the SDCC, well, Entertainment Weekly is live streaming from there throughout the con. You can watch from the EW home page (man, I wish I get paid for plugging this stuff, but eh... I haven't actually watched it).

Oh, hon, I am so sorry. Writing that much in three days is brutal; I know from experience. Why did the awful person stick you with this particular assignment? Not fair!

Leia as an X-Wing pilot is a truly awesome idea.

ComicCon is way too crowded. I'm not there, and having been two years ago (or was it three? doesn't matter) I'm quite happy to not be there again :-P Getting the news in the comfort of ones own home is superior as far as I'm concerned!

BTW, now that I'm back from various sorts of vacations, I need to comment on H&M 16 and both read and comment on H&M 17 (I have not abandoned you or the story! :-)
