Cleaning Stories Folder & Court TV

[tarotgal]

Court TV is always on in my parents' house. I'm quite hooked. But I just watched 'In the Juryroom' and... wow... I'm amazed they could film in the jury room and all. It's fascinating to me. Maybe just because I read 12 Angry Men at an early age and loved it, then read it again in high school in class and loved it more. But, yeah, I find this sort of thing very interesting. And Scott Peterson's guilty as sin.

But moving on... I organized my stories folder for the first time today. Created subfolders which is something I was VERY hesitant to do. I can always throw everything in one big folder again if I need to, I suppose. But, yeah. Now I have a folder for finished stories, finished fandom stories, and finished fetish-related stories. And everything else is unfinished.

Total count of unfinished stories: 183
Yes. You read that right. One hundred and eighty-three fics I've started and not finished. Bloody hell. Worst part of it is, I've intentions to finish all but about twenty of them one day. But... yeah... it's a lot. And at least 30 have been from the last couple weeks. They're just... yeah. And that's not including the ones I haven't even started typing up yet! Or the ideas I've made a list of on the special page in my notebook because I don't have time to start the fics for them yet *smacks self on forehead* Okay, so some of them are decent, normal stories with the possibility of actual publication. But putting them altogether and counting them... shite. It's cool and overwhelming all at once. *feels for her poor, neglected stories*

WOW!

183 stories in progress?! That's beyond incredible...it's astounding! *feels mildly guilty for blatant plot bunny dropping*

Don't feel badly at all. 170 is hardly any better than 180, after all :-) Besides, I get inspired at a drop of a hat nowadays so that's my fault more than anyone else's. I was halfway through watching a Soprano episode tonight and a damn Remus/Sirius hospital sex scene popped into my head. *shakes head to get it to fall back out again* I just wish I could actually get around to finishing some of these WIPS. I'm pretty proud of a dozen of them. It's just a little frustrating when new ideas start popping up. And these darn challenges I post on the list every week certainly aren't helping to keep the ideas away. LOL
Besides, I always really enjoy the bunnies you drop *EG*

Ah, Scott Peterson. My grandmother is the only person in the world who I know who thinks he's innocent. She wanted to be on his jury. I was like, "No, Grandma, you really can't now because you're biased and have already formed an opinion/verdict on him and I'm sure he'd love you for it but...no." Ha ha. Around here you can get e-mail updates on the trial from the local news station if you care enough about that kind of thing.

Anyway, at least you've got stories down and started. I seem to have no ambition to write anything down lately. Whether they are ever finished or not, if would be nice to get at least some of what I have thought up down. *sigh* Good luck.

Oh, and one more thing: The Sopranos! Yay! Thanks God for DVD or else I could never see cable shows. Knowing you, are you by any chance watching one with your beloved Joey Pants? LOL. Speaking of him, I saw he's in a new show on CBS with Rob Lowe called Dr. Vegas. I'm assuming Lowe is on that show because the Lyon's Den was canceled. So I'm assuming that The Handler was canceled too? You'd probably know more than me since you watched it. I was just curious.

Rambling again....Good luck and happy writing!

I'm just hoping they'll put The Handler out on DVD one day, because I only taped a few of those episodes. I *loved* that show. *sigh* I'm about 99% sure The Handler was cencelled... I actually never went and looked for the official word, but I knew at one point they were just looking for a reason to keep it and I'm assuming they didn't get one. Which is sad, because the ensemble was one of the best I've seen in years.

But I'm soooooo looking forward to Dr.Vegas. I love my Joey to death, don't get my wrong. But I'm looking forward to seeing him in a supporting role again which better shows off his talents as a character actor. And Rob Lowe... I love Rob Lowe(I'm a brat pack fan)... I hate the Vegas culture, but I'm still really looking forward to that show! Joey!!

Thanks for looking out for me! :-) It's always appreciated. :-)

As for The Sopranos... nope, it was just episodes 1-4 in season 1. The very first. I've avoided watching much of the series on HBO because I wanted to see it from the start. I've seen two episodes with Joey, though. Including the one where he gets whacked (which normally I'd be sad about, but I adore horses and the mistreatment of death of an animal is unforgivable in my book. And you can't fuck with Tony and expect to live)
I'll slowly work my way through the series and get to him sooner or later. I'm not fully in love yet with the series... but I like it. And Tony's great. Him I love already. Must be that conflicted, angsty, vulnerable man thing.

Oh, as for Scott... I gave him the benefit for a week or two waaay back when he was taken into custody. I was even somewhat doubtful during his pre-trial hearing. But now that I've heard so much evidence there's absolutely no way I believe he's innocent. There really *isn't* anyone who could have possibly done it and lots of circumstancial evidence supports that he did it. They've definitely proved to me beyond a resonable doubt. I can but hope the jury will be able to piece the whole thing together and see the big picture as well. But I listen to enough of the defense atts. on CourtTV to know there are still a lot of people out there who think he's not guilty.
