How does that song go? “This is the worst trip I’ve ever been on”? I wouldn’t go quite that far, but it’s been a wild ride, and not always in the fun way. But the joy of nano-noveling isn’t in the *doing*, necessarily, but in the *having done* — looking back and going “I wrote this?! How did I do that?”

That’s where I am tonight. I wrote this?! How? Why? And in a nano classic, while skimming through the file: I don’t remember *any* of this!

But here it is. 50,000 words of fic. Amen.

title: this is how the world begins
author: marcicat

word count:
summary: It’s the end of the world as we know it, and all the fandoms come out to play.

And really, was it that much of a stretch? Vegas had vacationing demons, Ohio had angels that ate pie, New York had masked superheroes. Okay.

Note 1: I have not read through this fic. At all. Edits/fixes still to come; posting now as a placeholder and proof of finishing.

Note 2: Somewhere along the way I apparently decided ‘chimerae’ was an acceptable pluralization of ‘chimera,’ despite all logic and grammatical evidence to the contrary. Sorry about that.

1. Must find outfit that looks nice and like ten times more professional than I usually wear to work. Knew I should have looked harder for nice pants on last shopping trip.

2. Sent coworker to other location for a day. Told them to think of it as a vacation. Wish this worked on everyone.

3. Via hulu: Jeffrey Donovan on the yogurt thing in Burn Notice: “I’m sure there’s some drinking games now, based on whether I eat yogurt in an episode. If there isn’t, start now.”

4. Went to bed at seven pm last night, feel mostly awake today. Very thankful for weekends.

5. starandrea’s having a tumblr party — good practice for anyone not sure what tumblr is, but not wanting to lose face in front of the youngsters! (So far I’ve gotten a pass at work for not being on facebook by calling it a “personal decision,” but that sort of thing will only get you so far…)
