To-Do List for the Whedonverse

[xlivvielockex]

This is more of a bookkeeping thing for myself than anything else but hey, if you are interested in what I need to do for my fandom stuff, go ahead, click it. You know you wanna! These are in no particular order.



1. Change my rec list to a monthly thing for the sheer fact I haven't had a chance to read/write much since I have been sick. With work getting crunch time in May, need to move it to monthly. I'll just do the recs by weeks instead of days.

2. Finish the rewrite/editing on Walking In My Shoes. It is already written. I just need to concentrate on doing the edit and rewrite. Kea has been stalking me for it. There are three chapters left.

3. Overhaul the crack!fic cross over between Bones/Veronica Mars/Angel. It is half done, I hated the ending. It needs a rewrite badly.

4. Do the oneshot with Cordelia going back in time to the 50s. I think that is going to be genfic though. Mike and I haven't decided.

5. Start the next big serial piece that doesn't have a title but does have Connor/Dawn and Angel/Cordelia. Plot is already outlined out, just need to write it.

6. Finish the fanmix that I started for C/A. I got a few songs picked out, need a few more (If anyone has any ideas!) I am really digging the fanmixing so I might do one for some of the other couples I like.

7. Finish the fic for my Fluffer. Not saying pairings or anything cause it needs to be a surprise. NOT C/A, oddly enough. LOL

8. I want to sign up to do a prompt at ca_atlast. I think that will be about July. I want to do the timed one.

9. Finish the Lindsey request icons that I have been working on for what seems like forever. I suck at putting text on icons, that is all there is to it.

Before December 2007:

1. Write Sarah a GillyPuffs piece for her birthday then write her a serious piece of something she wants for her birthday

2. I want to finish 101 drabbles before Dec. 31, 2006. I have 56 right now. I think I can do it. And they are TRUE drabbles too!

Already done:

1. Picked themes for still_grrr until June. No prompts, just the themes.

2. I have left all the icon comms that don't meet my "stringent" requirements in an icon community. (That was sarcasm. I have requirements, just nothing that is crazy. Just personal preferences)

3. I left one really intensive drama-filled RPG (Thank god) and joined a really laid back and cool one instead. It is a load off my mind, you have no idea. The drama in it was making me not want to turn on my computer.

4. The Fan-Art challenge I used to run at Angel's Oasis got overhauled so that is one less thing I have to keep up. (Hence why I started Still Grrr to be honest.) I don't need to worry about that unless someone requests that they want a special challenge.

5. I potentially might be leaving the round robin challenge at Angel's Oasis just because I can't get motivated for the fic. Sometimes, it just isn't working. I got the worst writer's block. And I am not sure if it because I am sick or if it is all the stress real life is tossing my way. Either way, can't concentrate. So have to see how that goes.

You know what I love even more than the fact that you are writing a GillyPuffs story? I love that you now have a GillyPuffs tag in your LJ. LOL.

LOL I am kind of fond of the fact that I have one as well. It just reminds me that I need to keep using it and putting it into every day conversation. The more I use the puff, the easier it will catch on.

C/A fanmix?

What've you got so far? I've got loads of songs I use for them.

[xlivvielockex.livejournal.com]

What I was thinking was doing it by season. So for season one, it would have one song for each of them that describes how they were at that time and then one song for their relationship at that stage. Then I figured I might throw in one song to cover BTVS years because 16 is my fave number.

I know that for Cordelia, I want to use Barbie Girl for her S1 self. Angel, S1 probably Save Yourself by Stabbing Westward. I figure for Angel, it will be a lot of dark goth stuff like Stabbing Westward, Type O Negative, some Marilyn Manson since he broods so much. I just need to work on the specific songs. For Cordelia S3, probably My Skin by Natalie Merchant. I just equate that song with her. S5 relationship will probably be Reach Out by Erasure. I was even debating some Suspicious Minds for S4 relationship.

I am so up for discussion and ideas though. Sometimes, people have way better ideas than I do and they inspire me a lot more.

Well, the song I've always thought of for Cordelia's ascension (but it could work for her death, too) is Answer by Sarah McLachlan ("Cast me gently into morning, for the night has been unkind. Take me to a place so holy, that I can wash this from my mind: the memory of choosing not to fight"). And for Angel mourning her in season 5, I've always thought James Blunt's Tears And Rain ("Find comfort in pain, all the pleasure's the same...").

I know it's very cliche, and it's used for every couple ever, but the first time I heard Chasing Cars was with Cec and Kaycee's wonderful vid, so that is always the image I have of them in the end of Provider. Also in season 3, as Angel realizes he is falling for Cordelia, I would have to say Fallen by Delerium ("What I would give to feel the sunlight on my face, what I would give to be lost in your embrace...").

For season 2 Angel, and his beige period, I'd say Willie Nelson's Are You Sure? ("Look around you, look down the bar from you at the faces that you see. Are you sure this is where you want to be?").

Season 4, through the Connor fiasco, before they find out about Jasmine's possession, I'd say With Or Without You by U2 for C/A's relationship.
