I have two days...

... until the end of the current Jantolution challenge. I'm frantically working on a fic for the My Immortal prompt, and busy turning over a few drabble ideas as backup in case I don't type quick enough, and I've already covered Himalaya, Crack!fic, and Jack Returns with Tourism in Lockdown, but - and this is the key point - I have no idea what to do with the Harry Potter prompt.

None at all. This doesn't usually happen to me.

Hmph.

Anything you guys want to see (preferably a reasonably short idea...)? Otherwise I'll have to try and think of something very quickly, and it probably won't be any good.

But I have to have a fic ready for it! I've completed every Jantolution challenge so far, it's a matter of pride/obsessive-compulsiveness now... (Mara, you have me more than hooked. *shakefist* :P)

Darnit.

I'm like that I have to finish each and every prompt I just CAN'T do one on it's own!

Okay Harry Potter prompt, JK is a person from a parralel uiverse and Harry Potter was real there as in magic and muggles existed.

Well it's yours if you want it!

Hee. I think miss_zedem and I have managed to do every prompt of every challenge... It really is quite an obsession, and I utterly sympathise. :)

Hm. I shall consider it, and thanks for helping feed the plotbunnies. The Jantolution lot are looking undernourished at the moment, though the dozen or so other hutches are quite happy...

Obsessions the word, I mean I HATED the crack!fic prompt and yet I did it...

Madness!

I can provide rabbit food if needed...

:D Whenever a new challenge goes up, I nab the prompts and song lyrics, do some research and keep that in one Word file, then make files for the other prompts and type out a basic plot idea at the top. Something nearly always hits me the first time I see them, then it's just a matter of getting them finished in time.

Unfortunately, my, "JantolutionJulyHarryPotter" file is currently blank. Completely.

And yet I'm still determined to get something down... I have this mad plan to do every prompt ever.

It's much akin to my joining fanfic100. I get drawn in by the prospect of prompts and challenges... I can't help it...

Ahem. Yes. Well.

*plotbunnies go bouncing past gleefully*

They seem to be picking up, actually...

I never research what I do, I make things up and that's what works for me...

I just look at them and then idea's come, sort of, well I make the idea's come.

Why not just work Harry Potter into Immoral Beloved or what ever it was as a mention? It's what I did.

I'm probally going to be stuck on doing these as well.

I've got a ficaton on at the momemt and it's a big one, each fic has to be at the very least 1000 words long (it's the doctor who minor characters ficaton) and it's goign to take forever and yet I have a time limit...

*offers homegrown carrots and hand picked apples*

I only meant that I research things to make sure they're accurate. :) If I ever mention a day and a date together, I've looked it up to make sure that it's right for whatever year I'm working in, for example. And I was working on a Stargate crossover at one (two) point(s), so of course I just had to go and watch any and all related episodes...

My "My Immortal" one doesn't take well to Potter-esque intrusions. It would seem out of place or shoehorned in just for the challenge... Hrmph.

That ficathon sounds fun. There should be a similar one for Torchwood - for characters like Kathy Swanson or one-shot villains and the like. :) Hmhmhm, ideas strike...

*watches a tide of plotbunnies dive on you for the food* Uh oh. Now you've done it...

Oh that's the type of thin I don't do, I normally just don't mention something, I'd say the 18th of August or Friday that 2nd, see in every year there's a Friday the 2nd and an August the 18th!

I just watch Doctor WHo becuase I want to.

Oh well, just an idea.

It's called tindogs_fic the site I'm doing it on.

But I have a secret weapon... come out Bobbie (she's my dog) (and she's very fast)

*watchs Bobbie chase that plotbunnies away*

Ah, but I'm somewhere between being ridiculously pedantic and a touch obsessive compulsive. :) I can't let details be wrong - it drives me up the wall if I let a mistake slip past me. ;)

*the plotbunnies flee, and dive on Lali instead*

*is submerged under a pile of nibbling plotbunnies* Darn. >_< Now I'm in trouble. Though maybe there's another Harry Potter bunny in here... *starts hunting*

My friends brother is OCD, so it's not that I don't understand... it's that I can't be bothered! :-)

I seriiusly can't!

Bobbie wouldn't hurt a fly! SHe just likes to chase things.

Why not offer the bunnies a copy of The Deathly Hallows, which ever one jumps on it is the HArry Potter bunny!

Heh. Good idea. ;) Unless it's already got away...

(Oh, and if you ever want a beta who'll happily attack commas, full stops, speech-marks and minor details in a frenzy of correct-ness that would shock all but the most pedantic of readers, just ask. ;) )

Well might as well try it.

Hellenebright BETA's for me at the moment but when you're dislexic like me then any help is nice so I may take you up on that!

Sure thing - I just remember that your NotSoBigHeaded fic wasn't betad, and I'm usually a fairly quick beta, so I thought I'd offer. :)

I noramally do get my stuff BETAed *crosses fingures* but i didn't want to bother her because I remember that I wrote it early in the morning.

I probally will take you up on that.

I do a bit of BETAing but not BETAing the spelling/grammer I do BETAing the story itself, like I'm BETAing a story for a girl who's writing a story with Jack and her own character but it's set in Torchwood and she's never seen Torchwood in her life and I get given Doctor Who stories from my friend (rosetyler4ever) to check for mistakes because in her words, 'I seem to have learn the serie soff by heart'

Hee. I've fairly learnt Torchwood off by heart, too. And while I'm good at catching mistakes that don't quite follow canon or suchlike, I'm always hesitant to comment on someone else's plot/characterisation too much. Sounds like we're the perfect Beta opposites. :D

I know, I catch the tinyest of mistakes like rosetyler4ever was writting somethign about a dalek
'and a green flash of light came out of it's laser weapon and the Doctor fell down, dead'
And I was like, Daleks rays are blue and as evidence I got up a screen shot of a dalek firing.
The fact I am obbesssive over my Doctor Who makes me a useful person in those situations!

Well for these people it's my 'job' to compent on plot and characteriseation, I sometimes do a bit of brit-picking is it called? You know changing cola to coke and stuff like that for Amanda but mostly I'm a plotting BETA.

We're the opposites! Totally!

:-D

*giggles* See, I wouldn't have been too sure about that, but I would have squealed, "A possessive "its" has no apostrophe!!" :D That amuses me far more than it should.

*celebrates our differences* ^_^

Ah well...

It is funny, when you think about it!

*celebrates as well*

Being different is brilliant!

dyslexic even
