woke up broke free drove a long time

I am back from WisCon! My flights were lovely and on time and other good things. (Traveling through O'Hare? was awesome when I was a tiny child and liked the moving walkway with all the lights; was painfully annoying as a teenager when I had to navigate the airport myself and discovered that Chicago can sometimes be a black hole of delays; is now awesome again because I can entertain myself during takeoff and landing critically scanning the suburbs for a suitable house for Fraser and the Rays. Hey, how do you entertain yourself on airplanes?) If I start thinking about Prop 8 I will probably end up crying into my pillow while listening to Vienna Teng's City Hall, so instead I am gritting my teeth and trying not to hate all systems of justice and government and instead loving Iowa from afar.

Some orders of business:

i. I got a new glasses prescription, although not new frames, and I can now SEE!, but since I can SEE! I in fact have to sit with my laptop perched on the very edge of my knees so I don't go cross-eyed before I adjust. I also got my hair cut, because the Southern summer has descended with appropriate swampiness and also just because I like having short hair. I know, pics or it didn't happen, but [a] I didn't take a 'before' picture because my camera's out of batteries, and [b] if you really need to see what I look like with a few inches chopped off, wait for a locked post, kiddos.

ii. Along with some new clothes and a general sense of thinky well-being, I have brought home from WisCon plotbunnies and motivation. So here is a WIP list! It is a special WIP list, though, because it is [a] interactive! and [b] not a list of Things Wot I Have Unfinished On My Computer, but rather a somewhat shorter list of Things Wot I Actually Intend To Finish Writing This Summer. ( List: 7 WIPs. )

Besides this I have a number of other due South fics, a crossover with BSG, a tale of Oliver's Romeo and Juliet, a Buffy fic, a Good Omens fic, and a few more things I am interested enough in that I will want to try writing them, but these seven are the ones I Really Want To Finish Soon.

Anyway, the interactive part is the part where, possibly just to keep my brain from collapsing under the indecision, but also because I am curious, which ones are all of you interested in?
