New Years Resolutions (and Trope Bingo) + snagged meme.

[stripytights]

Again with the lateness.

Usually I make November resolutions rather than NYs because I like starting early, but last year was hectic and I forgot. So:

- Do Big Bang. I failed to turn in a draft for the last two rounds (can I still sign up even?) This year is different though - I feel like I have an idea I really want to write, I'm not claiming I've planned anything - I'm pretty sure I'm not capable of planning anything, but I've been thinking about it for most of the past month.
- Lose last bit of weight. I got so so close to my ideal goal but derailed at Christmas (alcohol and fruit cake mostly). So I'd like to drop that last bit and work on maintainance. I'm also going to work hard on my fitness as well as my weight. I should probably do chess instead. I'm just as bad at it but it's kinder on the ankles.
- Write something every day no matter how small.
- Stop being so lazy when it comes to the work I should be doing. I'd like to end the year not regretting how I spent my time.


What are your resolutions if you've made any?



Bonus points if you can spot the obvious line for me to try,

au: circus	food porn	road trip	fusion	holiday
secret relationship	au: were/vamp/supernatural	handcuffed/bound together	secret twin/doppelganger	de-aged
genderswap	presumed dead	WILD CARD	au: college/highschool	wingfic
au: steampunk	sex pollen	alpha/beta/omega	mind control	immortality/reincarnation
au: band	locked in	au: historical	au: space	au: neighbors

Meme

Go to the closest book to you. Turn to page 206. The first sentence explains your love life. Stolen from amber1960 as the most recent poster.

I snagged two because I like to give myself some decent odds (and when I tried this yesterday I got the Hunchback of Notre Dame suggesting I drive people mad).

- Marc, the quintessential cold fish, capable of love?  - Magnificat, Julian May. I think it's quite hopeful! And mildly accurate.
- But there is a further possibility: it is conceivable that Caelius may not have been supporting Catiline at all. - Rubicon, Tom Holland. I have no idea what this means.

That is actually my second choice line! My first is the diagonal with band, sex pollen, secret twin/doppleganger, holiday and wild card :D

Yes, you should definitely write long fic - the fandom needs it.

I didn't even consider the diagonals! But yes, makes sense.

Give the fandom what it needs, not what it wants, eh? *g* I still haven't forgotten about the Magdalene laundry AU...
