Whew.

I'm trying to catch up with the flist, and it's taking much longer than normal because there is just so much I want to respond to.

I made a nice leap with the costume last night, and today I will go out and buy another piece for it because I decided that the original piece was way too garish and fugly. I bought it reluctantly because the person I was with was so adamant that it would work, but now that I'm looking at the costume I'm thinking, no way. Plus, the store is only two miles away, so I'm just going to dash out and grab what I originally had planned to get.

I keep pulling out boxes of stuff, hoping against hope that I will find something else to add to it or modify it with. This sort of thing is a race against time as well as a complete testing of my creativity; at this point I think I'm 50/50 fail/win. I've spent so much and I can only hope that someone at Prophecy will like it, at the very least.

I'm just not ready for Prophecy! I'm still in the shell-shocked phase, you see. New canon has sunk in, mostly, but I'm at a loss as to what to do with it; I feel...finished, somehow, like there's nothing left to write.

On the other hand, it's further fueled my desire to write tLS. I really want to envelope myself in the tLS cocoon and sing la la la.

Ooh, yes please!

Keep writing!

Remember: All fanfic stories ARE canon - in an alternate universe. Fanfic stories are written because people want answers to the question 'What if...'. That fact hasn't changed with the publication of DH.

After HBP I didn't want to write anything, so this time around I recognize it for the stage that it is: assimilation. Once I finally read enough DH-based fanfic I'll move into the next stage, I know. Right now, though, even if I had the inclination, I just don't have the time. Still trying to get ready for this weekend's show! And I need to finish the costume, eep.

Writing: I know what you mean. At the moment I enjoy what others write and hope that my mojo will come back soon. But I'm sure it will, and yours will, too. We'll have great fun. And don't you think that Prophecy might help with the process? :D

Have fun!

Go mojo! A little mojo is a great thing. Hell, a lot of mojo is even better.

And are you going to Prophecy? w00t!! That would be awesome!

It's always inspiring to talk to like-minded people. I'm really looking forward to this con; I think it will be one of the best, overall. Everyone will be on a high from the new book, and from here on it can only go down from here as far as participation, so I kind of have this feeling that this will be the big party, so to speak.

No, I don't go to Prophecy. I'll have to get the good vibes through the internet. ;D

Aw, what a bummer! :(

At first, I felt the same way. I must say all the enthusiasm and energy emanating from my flist has helped a lot.

Time will probably help. It sounds like, right now, you have so much on your mind it's hard to take DH in and think about what could be done with it. *hugs* Hopefully the general excitement at Prophecy will give you plenty of bunnies. 8D

I'm certain that hanging with everyone will help, and I really look forward to getting my mojo back, hee! ;)

Actually, I think I felt worse after HBP, so that's something.
