Some things
May. 20th, 2018 07:32 pm* Work was good today! I hardly felt rushed at all (which is usually my main stressor, outside of Being In Charge Of People), and things went pretty smoothly. I might have baked off too many danish on accident, but I'm content to blame that on the restaurant.
* Him and Me and You and Her passed 500 kudos on Wednesday. I'm super excited to write the Blanket Scenario fic (tentative title: Under Cover(s)), though the plunny itself has grown legs and is running around gleefully. It's already decided to pull in my initial blanket scenario idea, making it a minimum of two "let's cuddle to stave off hypothermia" scenes and then awkward aftermath ...which may itself call for another blanket scene to fix things, because why stop at just two?
* I kinda also want to write a bunch of super short unrelated/oneshot-type blanket scenario scenes, since I naturally didn't only get the one when the plunny hit. If I do that, I'd call the resulting fic Quilt Scenario, because craft jokes :3
* That said, most of my attention is currently on Metamour or Less, since I got a sensitivity reader last week! I'm most of the way through the fourth scene (of five), and just need to come up with an akuma to write around and then I should be golden. (I very briefly forgot that the reason I write detailed dialogue in my outlines these days is because that's how I want the dialogue to go, and I don't have to re-write it. Thankfully, I remembered before I got too far along compared to my notes.)
* Speaking of "throwaway" akuma, I came up with a really good one while at work today. They'd be hot sauce and fire themed, getting revenge on a friend(?) who pranked them by spiking their food with hot sauce. The akumatized item would be a hot sauce bottle, and their name would be (wait for it) Sergeant Pepper. I'd use them in Metamour or Less, but there's too much potential for Cat Noir puns (the relative hotness of himself and Ladybug, "spicing" things up, a steamy situation, a remark or two about joining (or not joining) the Lonely Hearts Club, etc). It'd throw off the pacing if I included the whole battle at this point in the fic, so I'm saving them for a different occasion. I think I'm going to go with a birthday party themed akuma for Metamour or Less.
