I challenge you to a duel!

[arysteia]

It's the holidays again. How I love them. And I had a great thought. Well, it seems great to me. You can laugh quietly behind your hands.

My friends and I are currently playing The Biggest Loser¹. We meet every Sunday for dinner (horribly healthy) and then have a ceremonial weigh-in on the Official Scales of Doom. The biggest loser gets a (non-food-related) reward and the others have to do fatigues. It's working very well.

Anyway, my thought was... I should have posting deadlines for the WIPs of the Apocalypse. And you - yes that means *you*² - should mock, castigate, and generally harrass me if/when I don't meet them. Pretend you're my personal trainers. Or the American Idol judges. Whatever. Don't feel bad, I thrive on this sort of heckling. Honestly.

And if you happen to believe that *positive* reinforcement is better, then feel free to reward my successes in any way you see fit. But make me succeed first!

As a teaser of sorts, here's what's sitting on the desktop currently:

[Unnamed] - Cleaning Up is Hard to Do fic based on Tempus Fugitive
Lex, Lies and Videotape - Cleaning Up is Hard to Do fic based on Sex, Lies and Videotape (big surprise, huh?)
Parallel - the fic that never dies. But does keep chugging along.

and a million other things, but that's where my head is right now...

But I need your help! Help meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

I'm setting myself an inaugural deadline of Thursday. Meet me here with blame or praise, whichever I deserve. That way, we all win.

1. I loved this show. I can't explain why, ordinarily I hate reality tv with the passion of a thousand exploding Kryptons. But this one I watched. And I ate junk food while doing so! Symptomatic, perhaps, of my problem.

2. This includes lurkers! All of you! It's a team effort! Go the Purple Team!

Woohoo, heckling! Thursday, huh? As in, this Thursday? As in, tomorrow? Or as in some mythical Thursday with end-of-the-rainbow qualities that always seems to be just a few days ahead? You know, just to clarify. ;)

Heh. See that? Mocking already.

I am here, its thursday from where I am, I am really terribly bad at calling people names, coz I dont have the vocabulary to do so, so I have been waiting for you to finish your WIP for years and years, and would be really disappointed in you as a human being and author, if you dont add some new chapters and help your team to win !!!!
sorry for not being very creative
