Huh.

Sometimes I feel old.

It makes me feel old that the real-life Sean and Elliott will have known each other for thirty years this fall ... and that I was born only seven years after that.

**but squees at them having been friends so long!** ^O^!

Fic stuff.

... Wow, I have two h/c related tags. I didn't remember I even had one. XD; Why don't I use those tags for my blurbs? Most of them would fit.

I had an odd urge to re-read my recent Monkees fanfics at the beginning of last week. So I did. Gosh, I could have gotten entire scenes out of the parts I summarized! XD; But aside from that, and aside from not having delved into the Monkees' characters as much as I could have, I still quite like them. I kinda want to go back and re-write at least The Return of Baby Face Morales and flesh things out. Seeing all those summarized parts made me cringe. I really dread summarizing anything now, and I struggle with the decision the few times I decide it really is best.

I actually decided to put Baby Face and his gang in my most recent Carmen Sandiego fic, Falling Down Like Dominoes. It happened because I was describing what was stolen, and since I'd just re-read my Monkees fics, I put that the DeWitt jewel collection had been purloined. Then I shrugged and thought, Let it be the same DeWitt collection and Baby Face wants to steal it again too. So they ended up in it, though Baby Face and Ruby are the only ones who were named. It was amusing and interesting writing for them another time. I think I still have the touch.

I'm one fic shy of finishing my Carmen Sandiego 10 H/C claim. X3 Then I already have two more tables waiting in the wings. I love that comm! I'm so glad they started adding many tables, because the original one didn't inspire me too much. XD; And there's so many possible prompts one can use for H/C fics. Just one table is not nearly enough! It's definitely a comm after my own heart. Friendship h/c for the win!

For that one fic left, I've just started chapter 4. I'm not sure how many chapters it'll end up being. But I'm really excited to write it all for another reason, too---it'll be my first complete multi-chapter disaster fic. Then I'm hoping I can go back and tackle that FF7 earthquake fic.
