Oct. 17th, 2011 04:55 pmThings I should have been doing this weekend:
* Class reading I fell behind on during vacation, because vacations render me incapable of summoning the brain power to even do things I want to do, never mind things I am merely obligated to do.
* Writing papers I have due tomorrow and Wednesday, because ditto.
Thing I actually did this weekend:
* Write several thousand words of self-indulgent Gossip Girl near-future fic after having spent the past month or so rewatching and catching up on everything I missed since wandering away during season three and being frankly horrified by some of the shit that went down in my absence, especially in re: Blair and Chuck. (At some point I also want to do this massive, angry meta post about Jenny's character arc, but that requires analytical power I should really be saving for those papers, so fic it was.)
This fic has spoilers for everything that has happened as of last week (5x03) and is based on some of my own speculation for what could conceivably happen given the plot threads they've set in motion thus far in the season. It will not be continued because it's frankly mediocre (except for the first scene, which I think could stand as its own fic with some polishing), and also because it becomes increasingly evident that a) I suck at writing Blair and b) that is not okay because this is her story and definitely should be from her POV, not Dan's. Whoops. But I'm posting it anyway just because it might be fun to compare and contrast later in the season. And I do like some of the character interactions. Maybe I can salvage them somehow for something else.
There are no actual spoilers for future eps that I'm aware of, because I live in a spoiler-free zone.
