5 week warning!

5 weeks, y'all. FIVE WEEKS.

You know the score, so I'll see you in the comments below!

Also, if you need a little inspiration, I'll be starting a picspam thread in the comments that everyone is invited to add to!

Oh god, CKR on the purple couch. That one always makes me crack up!

Uh, I guess I've written a couple of hundred words since the last check-in? Although I can't remember if I said, I did make a short AU podfic!

Hooray podfic! Yay words!

The purple couch pic makes me laugh so much because it's so obviously staged. Like someone said, "OK! We'll put your glasses here to give you geek cred. We'll hike your leg up like this to show your crotch. We'll yank your shirt up a little--"

CKR: "HEY! I'm using that!"

Stylist: "The skin will be good contrast! Artistically!"

Photographer: "Can he move his hand up? Further? Now curl it like he's holding a cock getting all sensual?"

Stylist: "Like that, honey."

CKR: "I AM NEVER DOING THIS AGAIN."

*giggles*

Yeah, CKR and publicity photos, not a match made in Heaven. Happily for us, he can be talked into things - probably by Paul. ;)

Hee, I can just see Paul, totally off-camera and giggling at him, yes. I didn't go looking for the shot where they're both on the couch, but I can only imagine how ridiculous that must have been. :P

Okay, can someone please write this fic? :)

(I don't know what's with me and RPF fic these days. It's not normally my thing...oh, wait, I said that about porn once, too, didn't I?)

And for my actual progress report:

I have been so, so sidetracked this week, but I'm still a little ahead of schedule. It is really cool to see all the different figures I've made grouped together on my craft table. I have a bunch of great beta suggestions for turtle & spaceship. I have a source lined up for Dief's safety nose, and I think I have the right paints to blend a color that will work for his eyes...assuming I still have a pair of clear safety eyes in the right size. May have to order some more, if not. I just have to get all my white-ish yarn out and figure out what to use.

Why is starting so hard? /o\ I only have about eight different shades of white! It's not like there's any reason for me to delay like this. Although I really should dig out some screencaps of Dief for reference photos. Figuring out how to work in the color variations in his coat is really daunting.

Which Dief are you going for? The three Diefs have pretty different coloring, and the length of their fur is different, too. Although I guess he's not going to have any fur that "sticks out"?

Yeah, Dief from the pilot was a Samoyed, while, as I recall, Lincoln and Draco were both Siberian Huskies. I think Lincoln was lighter in color, but Draco had a prettier face? Maybe? I'll have to do some screen capping before I get very far.

Yay picspam inspiration! Friday evening, and I look forward with hope and terror to a weekend of writing.

Ack! *flails* 5 weeks seems like a long time on the surface, but then I remember I'd like to leave a week for whoever ends up betaing this thing to have a proper shot at it, and you guys, it keeps growing! Ugh, it would help if I could get anything done during the week, but I'm pretty much a blank brain by the time I get home from work. Grr. Stupid work.

On the upside, after literally months of being totally frustrated (I've probably written and then in a fit of disgust discarded thousands of words before now) I'm finally pretty happy with what's here. It still needs a lot of editing and fussing, but the bones so far are solid.

The way this thing has worked out, I figure I've still got maybe three major scenes that need to be drafted before I have a complete first draft, and then I can go back to the beginning and start fiddling with details. I enjoy messing with the details, polishing stuff up, so I'm keeping that out in front as a reward.

Aww, yay for the polishing phase as a reward! And hooray for good story bones! Good luck with the writing!
