I opened up my bigbang to start working on it for the day and decided to check the word count. 

12345 words.  :) 

Almost makes me not want to write more because that is just SUCH a cool word count.  Nah....

Comments

[aeron-lanart.livejournal.com]

Oh that is so freakin cool. I've never managed to get exactly that word count before, even unintentionally!

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

I've never written anything this big before. I knew it was around 12k when I left it last night. But 12345 makes me giggle.

[jadesfire2808.livejournal.com]

Hee. It's the kind of thing you can't manage if you try. Why is it that some things are only possible by fluke?

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

because by flounder wouldn't make any sense?

(sorry, so sorry, very bad joke, sorry)

[rustydog.livejournal.com]

Snerk.

[kensieg.livejournal.com]

slaps donutsweeper with a trout!

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

I deserve that

[kensieg.livejournal.com]

no more fish jokes? :(

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

I didn't want to risk being smote with smelt

[phoenix64.livejournal.com]

Oh, come on. Just for the halibut.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

and be accused of fishing for compliments?

[the-dark-side.livejournal.com]

Don't make me come Swedish Fish your door.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

hey now, I'm not trying to start a roe

[the-dark-side.livejournal.com]

The puns, they burn!

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

only because you have a sole

[the-dark-side.livejournal.com]

AHHHHH!

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

you expected something betta?

[the-dark-side.livejournal.com]

No donuts for you!

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

that's carp and you know it!

[the-dark-side.livejournal.com]

My roommate would be proud of you, right now.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

Is that your way of asking for mora?

[the-dark-side.livejournal.com]

::flees::

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

I'll perch on the edge of my seat waiting for your return!

[the-dark-side.livejournal.com]

...*facepalm*

This is never going to end, is it?

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

And risk things going a bit roughy between us? Never!

(Honest- I'm done now, I promise)

[the-dark-side.livejournal.com]

Riiiiight. Sounds a bit fishy, to me.

(Hey, I had to get at least one in there, no matter how lame.)

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

that one wasn't too crappie

[the-dark-side.livejournal.com]

I could probably do betta.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

no angling for compliments now, koi?

[the-dark-side.livejournal.com]

Now you're just making me eel.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

feeling a bit ruffe? Sorry

[the-dark-side.livejournal.com]

I'll be fin.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

you sure have changed your tuna

[the-dark-side.livejournal.com]

I tend to flounder a bit on this sort of thing.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

holy carp I have just discovered the most aptly, and oddly, named fish. The sarcastic fringehead (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sarcastic_fringehead).

[the-dark-side.livejournal.com]

That's one hake of a name.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

A name that might cause one to turn into a bit of a snapper

[the-dark-side.livejournal.com]

No trout.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

a real crappie day would be had by all

[the-dark-side.livejournal.com]

It's a bleak prospect.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

could be quite the barb

[the-dark-side.livejournal.com]

Ide say.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

I'm going to need kelp if you keep this up

[the-dark-side.livejournal.com]

I could've told you you'd be saury.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

are you saying you cod keep this up all night?

[the-dark-side.livejournal.com]

Unless, of course, you scat before I'm through.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

you've been ellspirationable, but I can't keep ignoring my bigbang

[the-dark-side.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I should probably skate on over to the library and get to work on this project of mine.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

be careful not to overwork your mussels

[the-dark-side.livejournal.com]

I'll try. That'd be really crappie.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

I'd feel terribly shellfish if that were to happen

[the-dark-side.livejournal.com]

I cod probably forgive you.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

that's fintastic!

[the-dark-side.livejournal.com]

I'm moray laid back kind of person, after all.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

now you're just getting a dab silly...

[the-dark-side.livejournal.com]

I had to throw that one in just for the halibut.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

What's this I'm herring? You're avoiding homework by fishing for puns?

[the-dark-side.livejournal.com]

That's a load of carp. I would never neglect my school work. I'm just a sucker for a gold distraction.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

Maybe I'm just not tuna'd in enough

[the-dark-side.livejournal.com]

Or I've just corrupted your sole.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

Now that's just outraygeous

[the-dark-side.livejournal.com]

It does sound a bit hoki.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

holy mackerel, that's a bad one

[the-dark-side.livejournal.com]

This whole thing is getting a bit bleak.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

oh pollocks, I'm going to run out of puns soon

[the-dark-side.livejournal.com]

That's ruffe.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

hey, I already did that one! Cheater!

[the-dark-side.livejournal.com]

I'm saury. I got distracted by metaquotes.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

s'okay its understandable

[the-dark-side.livejournal.com]

I just found one hake of a post over there which somehow got from Obama to TW.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

seriously? I can't even fathom the connection.

[the-dark-side.livejournal.com]

It's comparing the presidential campaign to fandom. I had to mullet over for awhile.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

you have a larger scale of tolerance for those things than I apparently

[the-dark-side.livejournal.com]

Without a trout.

Now it's gone from Obama to Supernatural.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

*headdesk* reading that would make me crabby

[the-dark-side.livejournal.com]

It's slowly destroying my sole. I should probably quit reading.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

if it's making you feel roughy then yes, give it up

[the-dark-side.livejournal.com]

I am feeling a bit eel, here.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

okay, now we're just repeating ourselves...

[the-dark-side.livejournal.com]

I think we've actually exhausted the possibilities, here. It's kind of impressive.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

not sure if its something to be proud of, but it's at least good for a laugh! :)

[the-dark-side.livejournal.com]

At least we didn't combine the punning and discussion of John Barrowman's bum...

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

that would be a disservice to the man and his mighty fine rearend

[the-dark-side.livejournal.com]

Indeed.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

which TW better show us soon

[the-dark-side.livejournal.com]

Damn straight!

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

What if dispantsia struck Ianto and jack at the same time? *sigh*

[the-dark-side.livejournal.com]

I'd probably fall out of my chair.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

but happily accept any bruising and pain that would be a result, right?

[the-dark-side.livejournal.com]

Definitely.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

have you heard anything about the possibility of Jack and or Ianto scenes sans clothes?

[the-dark-side.livejournal.com]

I heard a rumor of seeing them in bed together.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

oooh, my kind of rumor! I've stayed away from spoilers because I didn't want anything ruined for me but... *sighs happily* I'd love for that to happen. Although it's doubtful it's next week, considering the commercials for the episode- which only leaves, wait there is only 5 episode after that! *eeep*

[the-dark-side.livejournal.com]

Supposedly, we will at least see both of them shirtless.

The TW season is FAR too short. On the upside, when TW is over, DW will come shortly after.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

shirtless is good. BOTH of them shirtless is very good. Not as good as pantsless, but I'll take what I can get.

I'm not as big a DW fan as TW. Too often Ten pisses me off

[the-dark-side.livejournal.com]

Hey, they're shirtless in BED...I'll take implied pantsless over nothing.

I'm definitely more of a TW fan, now, but I'm really looking forward to the Doctor's latest companion.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

oh my.. in BED? That implies... all sorts of lovely things. I'm so happy with the gentle way they're moving Ianto and Jack into a relationship, especially the way Ianto's almost leading it!

The spoilers I've been unable to miss about S4 of DW (guest starring former companions) make me want to hurl though. And hurl things

[the-dark-side.livejournal.com]

I know. It's fantastic. I really like the more dominant Ianto, this season.

Heh. "What duck?" I don't know why I just thought of that.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

I LOVE dominant Ianto because it flies in the face of all the weak emo crap most fanbrats write for him

lol

[the-dark-side.livejournal.com]

YES! Exactly.

Which is why I really liked the dream of those two I had the other day and felt the need to write that one down. *ahem* Sometimes, I despise my subconscious. Other days, I couldn't be more pleased.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

people forget that Ianto smuggled Lisa out of TW1 and into TW3 and took care of her for a year or whatever without anyone having the slightest clue. not a weak helpless kind of thing to do.

my subconscious gets me into trouble. all the time

[the-dark-side.livejournal.com]

They really don't give him enough credit.

I've noticed, by the way...

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

I plead the fifth.

You should see some of the started and abandoned story snippets I have, or actually... maybe not

[the-dark-side.livejournal.com]

Heh...you should see some of the plot bunnies hopping around in the corners of my mind, waiting to be unleashed. Talk about mutant...

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

speaking as the woman who wrote a drabble between Janet the Weevil and Diefenbaker the deaf wolf... or the implied slash between Ducky and Jack (DUCKY!!!) believe me when I say i am familiar with the mutant plotbunny

[the-dark-side.livejournal.com]

LOL...I forgot about the Janet and Dief fic. I'm ignoring the Jack/Ducky.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

probably for the best.

crap. I'm was trying to get my bigbang to 14k before going to bed tonight. I still have almost 500 words to go

[the-dark-side.livejournal.com]

Yes, well...we spent a lot of time throwing fish back and forth at one another, so to speak.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

ah, the fun of flying fish. oh well. I have until March 15 till the rough draft (of 20k) is due

[the-dark-side.livejournal.com]

Oh, dear. I see an icon in the near future.

That is a lot of words.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

20k is terribly scary. Although the 6k I have left is not so bad. Now if I could just figure out where the heck the story was GOING.

My premise when I started was 'haunted lake is really inhabited by aliens. Jack investigates" (Haunted lake being a lake I grew up near- lots of scientific oddities and myths around it)

[the-dark-side.livejournal.com]

Bah. Who really needs to know where a story's going? They usually lead you in the right direction eventually.

That sounds awesome.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

It took me FOREVER to actually start to think about WHAT the alien was, etc.

To help with length (think *pad the story*) It's half in flashbacks about when he was there the first time. The story also has an OC I introduced in another fic which'll help add word count

[the-dark-side.livejournal.com]

All I could think was Loch Ness Monster, which is entirely my roommate's fault.

Ooo...I like Jack's flashbacks.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

I didn't want it to be TOO trite or commonplace. I haven't worked out all the details yet. It would be easier if I wrote that way but.. oh well, one can only do what the muse tells us to do

[the-dark-side.livejournal.com]

Exactly. The muse demands we listen.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

stupid bloody muse. Well, I'm giving up at only 13,559. screw it, I'll try again tommorrow

[the-dark-side.livejournal.com]

Well, good luck with that tomorrow, then.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

thanks

[the-dark-side.livejournal.com]

I know from experience that, sometimes, writing requires all the luck one can get.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

absolutely.

My muse is stubborn. Sometimes 200 words in a day is a fight, other times I can manage 1000 easy or even 2000. *shrug* If I could get a clearer picture of where the plot was going I'd be better off.

I'll get there- eventually

[the-dark-side.livejournal.com]

I'm sure you will. I can't wait to read it.

[unfeathered]

Heee! That's great!

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

I can't believe it's gotten this long. I nearly pitched it a zillion times

[http://users.livejournal.com/_medley_/]

GO YOU! And that is a very cool word count.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

a lot of the credit goes to you! :)

[http://users.livejournal.com/_medley_/]

Thank you! I might've kept you from chucking the whole thing a few times, but you're the one doing the work. And you're doing brilliantly!

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

you are the BEST cheerleader, you know that?

[http://users.livejournal.com/_medley_/]

::HUGS:: I also seem to be becoming a professional bad influence for my flist. Two people recently have blamed me for not telling them no about something they wanted to do. I kind of adore that. *eg*

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

well all have to play to our strengths!

[mad-jaks.livejournal.com]

That is a very cool word count indeed *fans my inner maths geek*

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

hooray for inner maths geeks!

[chatona.livejournal.com]

Heh. That's a great wordcount. Also? Wow, long!

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

I foolishly signed up for tardis_bigbang which requires a 20,000 word story! *eeep*

[chatona.livejournal.com]

Phew. That's quite a lot. ... Not that I'm complaining, since I'll be reading all those wonderfully long stories once they're done *beams*

I don't think I could write anything that long o_O

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

it is a very, very scary word count to think about. I'm trying not to, but it's hard. And the rough draft is due in... *eep* three weeks!

[chatona.livejournal.com]

Awh, I'm sure you can do it! You already have 12,000+ words, which is one hell of a lot.

*cheers you on*

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

:) thanks!

[rustydog.livejournal.com]

I totally would have taken a screencapture of that word count and made an icon out of it. VERY COOL.

(And impressive! Go you!)

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

oooh now there's an idea! I've already added more though. *drat* Oh well

[phoenix64.livejournal.com]

That is hella amusing and a just for sheer volume a pretty nifty accomplishment. Boring me, that was my next blank check number at work last week.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

that's a neat check number though!
