godreamI'm not quite sure why I haven't written anything since Monday -- I definitely spent a significant portion of my time reshelving this week mentally composing sarcastic entries. Can't remember any of them, of course, but I'm still determined to write something, at least.
Let's see. The network at school is approaching the status of "actual network", as opposed to "a server closet containing tens of thousands of dollars worth of space heaters". The space heating capacity of the servers has been totally appreciated by certain people who can't put up with how enthusiastically the central air in the new building has used, but it's nice to be (almost) able to do something a bit more like what all that equipment was intended for. :P
Also,![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
minttown put up this coffee shop fic challenge last week some time, which I wasn't going to write anything for so I didn't comment but then there was this idea that I had to write. So now I have 560 angsty words that upon re-reading appear to actually be more about my personal subconscious Issues, maybe, in a bizarre twisted way, than about Deirdre. (And I don't even get why her -- I don't even think I liked her when I read the Chronicles of Amber. And yet.) In fact, it's also barely about a coffeeshop. Mostly outside a coffeeshop, really. *sigh* I may yet inflict this upon y'all anyways, so consider this fair warning...

Exactly! I'm the same way. I didn't really notice her my first time through the series, and I tried to pay attention to her last time I read them, but it's fic, it's when thinking about fic, that's when Deirdre's so noticable. *resists urge to write stupid Deirdre fic*
But yours isn't stupid, and I want to read it.

Date: 2004-07-25 05:24 pm (UTC)Why her: Yeah, but I feel like maybe I'm using Deirdre just 'cause none of the other girls would fit and I never got her defined enough in my mind to be able to say "no, she doesn't fit either". Like the idea of Fiona or Flora or Llewella doing something is totally laughable but I don't know Deirdre well enough to grasp how she'd react, so I can make her act any way which makes her convenient but not necessarily right, and I think I'm vying for the Most Incoherent Comment title myself here. Anyways. I'm gonna sleep on it, see if (with a little bit more distance) there's anything I know I want to change, and then post it, I guess. :)
