.post of random: space/artword, poll, Finn
Yes, post of random!
The next challenge is up at![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
artword, and is ASTRONOMY, inspired by NASA's photos of the day. In the manner of cosmic matter into a black hole, I have been sucked into the archives and have spent a lot of time wishing for a spaceship, and remembering when I wanted to be an astronomer.
Living in central Florida as I did, NASA was a big part of my life--lots of field trips, and shuttles or rockets going up were always news. My first clear memory of joy or tragedy beyond my family was when Challenger exploded in 1986; I can very clearly recall standing in the kitchen, watching the shuttle break apart on our tiny TV, and realizing this was something way past my previous experiences. My dream for the future is to live in a place with no light pollution, and a telescope. (Which explains a bit of why I wrote this formcsmooch.)
Speaking of writing, as![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
dogeared knows quite well, I'm working on the Epic Gay Seafaring Love of Viking!John and Monk!Rodney. It clocks in at 27,000 words, and with the entire plot roughed out, I'm on pace to finish it in a few weeks/a month. A couple parts are completely finished already. I've never posted something this ginormous before (BigBang doesn't count), so I was wondering how people like really long fic posted. Hence, POLL:
[Poll #1298150]
Also, I just took this and I love my silly black dog:
dogeared points out that Finn is asking "Whut r u doin?"

Ahem. Sorry. You may have noticed this is a topic I feel strongly about. ;-)
(As for the WIP issue - a lot of people don't like to read WIPs, so I understand why someone wouldn't want to post a story that way. I've never minded myself - unfinished stories don't bother me, it's only the withholding of an already extant ending that gets to me. It's like - until it's finished, the ending hasn't happened, so I don't need to know it, but once it has ... Yes, I know I'm weird. *g*)
