things to do this weekend
Discovery du jour: I am unexpectedly okay at working with charcoal. This observation courtesy of yesterday's drawing class; for the first time I'm honestly pleased with my work. Now I can't wait for figure drawing -- perhaps I will be able to do figure drawings in charcoal, and it will be a perfect storm of things I actually enjoy. I am still very much not an artiste, because my artistic talents are limited to things like doodling Fraser and Rays hanging out in the snow in the back of my Spanish notes, but that's probably okay.
Meanwhile I am about to have a long weekend! Should I worry about grad schools? Probably. Will I try to write thingsinstead also? Well, yes. My WIP list is shamefully long, and even has a few items on it that are not due South, but today is not the day to work on those. In fact today is the day to talk about due South crossovers &/or fusions, because I seem to be accumulating those.
At the moment, there are only three of them:
i. Darryl and Fraser. What will they do? Why, they will quote Shakespeare and possibly the Bible at each other, and Darryl will try to tempt Fraser, and it might be slightly epic not in the length sense but in the epic struggle of good vs evil (or is it!) sense.
ii. Ehh, various of my Canadian fandoms hanging out in the Last Night universe. I'm sure this has already been done, but I feel that to properly be in C6D fandom I have to write one of these also. I am not sure what all it would have in it -- probably due South, Slings & Arrows, Hard Core Logo, and maybe My Life As A Dog if I'm feeling like a particularly horrible person.
iii. due South/Young Wizards fusion. Fraser comes to Chicago on the trail of the killers of his father, meets Ray Vecchio the Advisory wizard, and probably fights the Lone One with Ray Kowalski. Oh, and I think they're teenagers. I don't even know, okay.
The point, though, is that I need to know what to write. (I mean, obviously the answer is "Darryl and Fraser" but I think what I am trying to do is just take a headcount for interest. Or maybe you are genuinely interested in one of the other ideas more than Darryl and Fraser. Freak.)

I don't know! But Fraser would TOTALLY be the best teenaged wizard ever.

sklfdsjdf. I was debating whether or not Bob was a wizard, but OHMYGODYES. Bob probably was Advisory for northern Canada, and Fraser has to go to Chicago because that's where Gerrard the overshadowed wizard went and also he thinks maybe Vecchio the Advisory can help him. And he gets caught up in some errantry of Kowalski's? And and ahhhh I think there is an Actual Plot in here somewhere. THANKS. :DDD

*laughing* I actually took all three and an additional semester of Shakespeare because at the time I wasn't interested in anything written after the 19th century--or at least anything that there were courses offered about--but I feel like you can probably fake the Milton for fic purposes. I mean, look at most Supernatural fanfiction. *g*

DAD: There's this Dan Brown story generator game on the internet!
ARIEL: Like Dan Brown choose your own adventure? Why would you even do that?
DAD: It's not really choose your own adventure. You put in a city and an agency and stuff it generates a Dan Brown story for you.
ARIEL: Huh.
DAD: So I put in 'Chicago' and 'Mounties'.
ARIEL: ...
DAD: Apparently there is a secret evil Mountie cabal engaged in an epic battle with Zappos.com.
Yeah, I don't even know. My family, seriously.
