It's 2 weeks to DragonCon & I woke up to this tweet:







I... do not know how to deal with this. My worlds are colliding! I usually don't go to the actual Masquerade, but this could be ... interesting?

On the other hand, I also see where they are going to try streaming DCTV this year, so I may possibly just keep with the usual plan of hanging out at the atrium bar & watch from there? So many decisions!

Otherwise, I think the highlight of the weekend was finding purple shoes for the Team Fortress 2 Administrator cosplay that did not have 5" heels, thus saving me from a broken ankle later this week. And they were on clearance at the outlets, so they were cheap (my AmEx bill is looking for any positive it can find.) Also of the good was a menswear outlet that had cheap shirts and vests for the Redmond | Blutarch. We're slowly getting there, though the deadline is upon us.

And speaking of deadlines, my marvel_bang story cracked 18K words this weekend, without the sex. I still am not exactly sure where I'm going with it, but I think I can have it in decent enough shape by Wednesday that I can turn in what's supposedly an 80% draft in good conscience (wendy is laughing at me because she's seen what I've turned in for drafts before, but I'm trying to be better! Really! I hate to traumatize artists, even if I haven't ever missed a posting date if I got a draft in, no matter how rough it was.) polybang is still there, too, though I think that's in the stage where I think I know what's going on and then I'll really dig in and it'll be a mess, but for now, we'll pretend it's all okay.)

...and I meant to finish and post this over lunch, but clearly that didn't happen, so I'll just end now and go to bed...
