the post-nano slump and other stories

ontologyI love how when I make a post saying "comment here and you get things from me!", everybody comments. (Give me another day or two and I'll send out the poor tattered NaNo for consideration.)
Work = better today. A steady stream of customers is always pleasing (though the Christmas muzak the mall's been playing since Thanksgiving ended is about to make me go spare), and four people complimented my hair. One of them was Santa. And, there was fresh, moist, and very luscious chocolate cake in the back room after work. Yay!
So, I have a problem. Since November ended, I haven't been able to write. At all. Like, I think about trying to write, and I start to feel a little sick. It is kind of worrisome. I did not realise that NaNo was going to take that much out of me. I planned to take a break from That Novel for a week or two, but I also planned to work on some other projects, you know? All that productivity -- don't want to lose it, you know? So here's what I'll do. You know the old ficwriter's meme: give me a character from a fandom I'm in, and I'll tell you three pieces of my personal canon about them. (Unless they're reallllly obscure characters. I have no personal canon about Ioreth of the Houses, for example, or that one vampire with the glasses that Spike had translating the text for Drusilla's cure. Although I do have a considerable amount of personal canon about the werewolf in Arthur Weasley's ward in St. Mungo's at Christmastime, so, you know.) It's like writing, except not. Little steps, yeah?
Fandoms include: Jossverse (pretty much all of it), Tolkien, Harry Potter, Emily of New Moon, Doctor Who, Pushing Daisies, and ... um? Isn't there something else? There are a lot of things I love, but not all of these am I comfortable circumnavigating in a fandomy sort of way. Sunshine would totally be a fandom if McKinley's editor allowed fanfiction, so I suppose you could always throw that in, although me trying to guess anything about Con that we didn't get told in the first place would be about as simple as trying to guess what the moon's thinking, honestly.
Go!

*CRACKS UP* You know, I'm sure if Tish wanted to spend more time with Jack outside of said dystopian apocalypse setting, he wouldn't argue at all. Whether or not Martha was there at the time too or not. I'm just sayin'.
