You know when you're so tired you just can't anything done? That's me at the moment. Even though I know that I've got 'Nutcracker' on Sunday which is going to be well busy, I'm too worn out to get anything done. the only thing I can do is drag myself to work , even though I feel like shit.
Semi revising what I've done of 'The Poignard', using my new method, which is much better. I can actually see and visualize the plot holes and start trying to get some of the crucial scenes down so I can rip it all to pieces later. At this point I despair of ever finding a beta, so I'm going to have to do it myself and hope for the best. What I'll do is have a re-watch of 'La Reine Margot' on Monday and refresh my memory. It's turned out quite AU, but I knew that was going to happen, so that doesn't bother me any more. Whatever happens this is going to be a epic. Currently I'm sitting on 88k and hopefully, allowing for a few productive afternoons I can get 100k done before Xmas.
Talking about 'La Reine Margot', I have been doing some research into whether there is any fanfiction for either the book by Alexandre Dumas or the film. So far, I'm coming up with nada. This surprises me as I think it's pretty ripe for fandom exploration. Perhaps it is a bit obscure? I considered starting up a comm, but I don't know about whether I have enough time on my hands to actually run a comm.
I hope you've also noticed the new 'La Reine Margot icons which I I nabbed, thanks to

iconzicons and lupinskitty at Livejournal. Excellent stuff. It never ceases to amaze me how luminous Isabelle Adjani looked in that film. If I can get that even a little across in 'The Poignard' then my job will be done.
I need to start thinking about goals for next year. I know I want to read more books. I have a ton on the laptop so I I'm going to attempt that. I need to watch more films as well. I made a list of films I had watched this year and let me tell you it was a very short list. Embarrassing, considering that I work in a freaking cinema and and ought to be 'fanatical about film'. I want to be more productive as well and actually finish something that I start and stop leaping on to the next idea. So far, I'm toying with a semi adaptation of Malory's Morte d'Arthur for ScriptFrenzy tentatively called "The Last Days of Camelot'. I want to write a big dramatic romantic Arthurian tale that celebrates the myth I fell in love with as a girl. Not completely dismissing it, as 'King Arthur' does, even though I did like the film.
I've even caught myself doing random casting for it and considering a Symphonic/Power Metal soundtrack before slapping my hand and scolding myself that I need to finish this and 'Sun and Moon' . Not to mention my other GK plotbunnies which are still on the back burners. See this is another reason I need a beta. It would encourage me to keep going with these.
I'm going to have to go to work now, so I'd better sign off
