*laughing hysterically*

Oh, I win. I win!

The last three General Studies exams (last one was this morning, just finished it) have all had essay bits in them.

In the first one, I got Hitch-Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy in. In the second one, I got Asimov in.

In today's, I got both Torchwood and Doctor Who in!

I so win.

:D

Happy now. Only one exam to go, and it's essays on literary appreciation of a Latin text, and I can do that and it's not till Friday and there's a party tonight at Guides and I have lots of lovely lovely gorgeous beautiful 28-flavours prompts from you lot, 'cause you're wonderful, and argh.

All is good now.

I don't even care if I fail General Studies now. My marking-person will at least get a good laugh out of them. ;)

*laughs and high-fives*

Only one left? Awesome!

BTW: you don't need to Beta the He and She fics for me - went through them last night and have posted them. Wanted to let you know before I switched the thing to public viewing.

Oh, okays. You finished He? I was sure the copy I've got wasn't complete... I must check that.

Sorry I took so long on that scene, anyway... I'll try not to let it happen again if you trust me to beta after Friday...

That's fine. I just figured, you had exams, I do want to try and get close as I can to 19 fics by tomorrow even if I can't actually hit nineteen.

I have finished He now. I left out the Doctor, though, because it made more sense in the end - they're both about how no matter how much he loves any of them he'll drop them all for the Doctor. Anyway, un-locking it and cross=posting at Torch_wood now...

(PS; how did you get TW and DW in?

[identity profile] laligin.livejournal.com 2007-06-20 10:35 am (UTC)(link)
Ah, I see. Yes, that works nicely. :) How many fics have you managed thus far, then?

There was a question on GM rice. I decided that the public as a whole was afraid of the words genetic modification, especially since it was turning up as sinister plans in shows like Torchwood and Doctor Who (see the Daleks in Manhattan two-parter of David Tennant's second series of Doctor Who for more details).

And yes, I did put that much detail about the specific episode. :D 'Cause I got carried away slightly.

*laughs* Oh, brilliant!

I've unlocked them now, which I think brings my count to eleven. I think. It's probably less. Still, eleven's not too bad.

[identity profile] laligin.livejournal.com 2007-06-20 10:52 am (UTC)(link)
Eleven's impressive, though. That's as many "Jack's" fics as I've got... :)

And thanke, I'm glad you liked. :D

Shadowbyrd... (Please imagine that said in my usual "I have a favour/question to ask you, don't think you can run away now" sort of sing-song way)

Do you think I should fling open my thirty-flavours list now, even though only three of my lovely friendslist have had time to give me ideas? I do have a list and I'm twitching slightly... What say you?

[identity profile] shadowbyrd.livejournal.com 2007-06-20 11:03 am (UTC)(link)
How enthusiastic/inspired are you feeling?

If you have ideas etc. and want to go on with it, I'd say do it; maybe only three people replied, but if someone suggests something later on you can take that into consideration later, yes? Besides, you did get a lot of suggestions from those three people :P

Plus, if you're inspired to write something and don't at that time it can be difficult to go back and write it. I'm finding that at the moment with a House fic (which would likely have never seen the light of day, even if I had written it when I could loterally see and hear everything that was happening).

I'd say go for it, then you can blame it all on me if anyone comes later with a brilliant idea for you.

Eeh. :D Hrm, true.

*flails slightly*

Just a minute while I go add the rules to my list then. XD Thanke!

Heh! [Just wandered one back from the prompts post.]

I got Hitchhiker's Guide into one of my General studies exams last year! [I was comparing the movie version to Star Wars.]

Oh, nicely done! It's good to know I'm not the only nutter. I was busy proving that six times nine can indeed equal forty-two and be perfectly true. ;)

My brother and I have done this sort of thing with a lot of our exams. *blush* He got lightsabers into his GCSE English, I think. :D

I'm just wandering around generally so came on this a bit late. Nice to know people are still doing Classics and Latin - careful, or you'll end up a librarian... ;)

General studies is the only exam I have clear memories of, because one of the papers was all about kayaking. I kid you not. It was all about the different movements of the paddle and where you'd end up if you made them. So there was a hall of 150 of us, all holding our pens in front of us like kayak paddles and steering imaginary canoes. Surreal but brilliant.

Well done on finishing! Woo-hoo

*cackles* Last year, so Shadowbyrd tells me, there was one on how many turns you'd have to take in a basketball game to be facing the other way... And everyone in the hall was busy shuffling their feet under the desk to try and work it out. So I believe that quite easily. ;)

And thanke. :)

(Oh, and I wouldn't much mind being a librarian, actually... :D)
