Writing, litmus tests, and actual tests.

It's both pleasing and aggravating, that little word counter. We've adjusted the average ending four times now--and while that's pleasing that we are getting so many words out of the deal, it's aggravating because it looks like we aren't getting anywhere, when we are actually getting places quite nicely.

Check it out! [livejournal.com profile] shyaway is making a Sweeney Todd Mary Sue Litmus Test! Everyone go submit questions if you can think of them, to make it a nice and thorough one.

And remember that test I mentioned in two posts? Well, when I was about to bite the bullet and actually take it, I'm glad I had the wherewithal to ask her what the test would be like before I took it. Turns out I've been studying the wrong thing. While that makes me mad, it also pleases me becuase it means the test is going to be a lot easier than I'd originally thought.

And it's a good batch this time, folks. A REALLY good one. I had to switch out "Singing or Flirting" for this one.

Next, the album meme! I've seen it on several journals, so I made three, and they are made of awesome.

Three Albums )

I should spit out the rest of "Routine" cleaned up some this week. I'm glad some people noticed I was poking fannits again with The Pit. ;)

Time for some history.

Being it’s Halloween (or at least around there), I figured a nice little history lesson would be nice. That, and I wanted to write something.
