Plans: Week Ending Sunday November 2

This will be the second weekend with our Yuletide assignments!

What Yuletide-things do you plan to do or get done by the end of this Sunday or earlier?

("Nothing" is a perfectly acceptable answer, and so is scrolling past. If you're doing other fandom or non-fandom things, coalies may be interested in hearing about those instead.)

Start canon review, and track down the missing volume somewhere on my bookshelves.

I will write my CuppaJoe pinch hit. Though this does involve canon review for a potential Yuletide treat, so it isn't nothing.

Stretch goal: brainstorm for my Yuletide assignment and 2 treats.

None, I have other assignments to do before I even think about Yuletide. I'll circle back in December sometime.

Stop endlessly reworking my draft, and actually start writing.

I'm busy with FIAB although I almost ended up writing my Yuletide assignment while procrastinating for FIAB.

I'm not really feeling the assignment. But last time that happened, I ended up writing it early to get it out of the way.

Complete canon review and get at least a few words down.

Consume the canon I will be writing for and haven't actually consumed :')

Review other canon I'm writing for by watching small clips to remind myself of character voices.

I don't like my assignment. I'm considering picking up a new-to-me canon that my recipient requested instead of the one I matched on. So I'm going to decide if I want to do that this weekend and either start consuming the alternative canon or canon review for the original canon if I pass on the new canon.

Start canon review, maybe finish new series that I'm about halfway through that I definitely want to treat in.

I've re-read the book and sequel and am writing. It's very rough, and it won't be very long, but I have a clear vision of the beginning, middle and end, and am happy with that. My goal is to have a slightly less rough draft by the end of the weekend.

I have a very busy work weekend, but I might try and do some more canon review in between .Finished the main book, but these characters also show up in some spin-offs so will reread those too.
I have a week of vacation a week from now so hope to be finished with canon review by then.

Posting one more work for FIAB and then updating the dates posted on all of the works I made for that (made many things via main assignment, swaps, pinch hits, and treats) and then I hope to be all done that so I can perhaps canon review for Yuletide

In non-fandom, Halloween is on Friday and I'm the one who hands out candy at my house so, that.

Stare at my library app hoping the Yuletide research materials I put holds on come in. Weather my kids’ Halloween candy hangover.

I’m hoping to knock out my assignment this weekend. My recip has a very bare-bones request for a canon I don’t need to review before writing, so I’ll be aiming to write something short, sweet and safe and then move on to treats.

A certain amount of research into how one goes about importing live animals.

0. I *will* finish my outstanding FIAB extension. Or I'll be defaulted!

Continue canon review and writing my FIAB fic. I'm not even trying to start my Yuletide fic until I finish this fic I have an extension on.

I will be done with my story. It's short but valid. So then some editing. And then looking towards treats.

Spend a solid day mourning the fact that my recipient doesn’t like f/f, and then attempt to write them the m/f of their dreams.

I'm currently without access to my regular computer, so plotting out story flow on paper.

I already finished my canon review so I need to start thinking about what like... my story is. As well as some of the logistics of my nonsense.
