AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH

THE ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT MOVIE IS ACTUALLY HAPPENING, AND THEY ARE SHOOTING 9-10 MORE EPISODES!!!!!

ALFDKJADLFJALDFJLADF BARRING ANOTHER HARRY POTTER BOOK, THIS IS THE BEST NEWS EVER.

Though it is only "80% certain," since Hurwitz and Howard are finishing getting the legal rights, the actors are all on board, Jason Bateman has tweeted definitively about it, and they are already talking about a shooting schedule!  Hopefully next summer they'll shoot it all in one go so the episodes can play in the fall and the movie can premiere early 2013!

I feel like I have something in life to live for again!!!

(Not that I ever feel suicidal.  But I don't see much point in the world other than my family and friends.  Harry was the exception.  I used to think, "Whatever happens, I absolutely cannot die until after the last Harry Potter book comes out," and it's been four years since Deathly Hallows came out and I haven't had anything else to look forward to in life, and NOW I DO AGAIN.)

I am hopeful that this announcement will sustain me this week because I have three midterms and I didn't get anything done this weekend because I went home to see my aunt, who was visiting from NY.

Other brief thoughts:

1. I haven't written any more of my Seasonal_Spuffy story than I had a month ago.  As in, I have 3,000 words.  It's my first time officially contributing when I won't have a completed, 20,000+-word fic, and even though it's silly and all in my own head, I feel like I won't be living up to expectations.  I'll probably have 5,000-8,000 words, or approximately two chapters of the novella I'm "officially" working on.  That's assuming I can get over my neuroses and post it in the first place.  It's set really far in the future in my HEA-verse, and I am weirdly nervous about posting it for SS because I feel like people will side-eye it and be like, "Why would we want to read about a verse with all these OCs, etc.?"  Which is irrational because it's not the way I feel when I see people's fics from their own verses.  Anyway, since it's my verse, I feel very protective and anxious about posting in general because if people don't like it, it means they don't like my OCs, my interpretations of Spuffy's future, etc.  I expect my attitude will improve when I actually get back into the swing of writing.  Next week is fall break, and since I have three fucking midterms this week, next weekend I shall have next to no homework and have blocked off the time for writing.  It'd be great to have a chunk of the fic written since it will be my first posted WIP...

2. I watched a Castle episode tonight, and in it the victim was sliced in half a la Caleb.  Nathan Fillion reacted with particular horror, and I started cackling inside.  I really hope it was on purpose.

3. There's something else short and sweet I've been meaning to blog about, but I can't remember what it was.  Oh well.  At least LJ seems to be working again.  *knock on wood and fingers crossed*

even though it's silly and all in my own head, I feel like I won't be living up to expectations. I am 100% in that boat with you. First multi-chapter fic I've ever written that has a cohesive and consecutive storyline, and I'm not going to have it completed by my posting date. It's an AU as well, so hoping people like my interpretation of events? Check. Solidarity.

That's assuming I can get over my neuroses and post it in the first place. I really hope you do, your story is one that I'm looking forward to. :)

Thank you, hon! I'm looking forward to yours, too. And it's good to know I'm not alone in the paranoia. <3

Aw shucks.

absolutely not alone on the paranoia front. I'm putting off reading other entries until the day after my posting day, because reading them occasionally sends me into fits of panic.

That's a strategy. I would do that, but if I try to read a lot of fic in one go I start skimming, and if I skim then I don't leave feedback, and if I don't leave feedback on something I legitimately enjoyed, I feel guilty.
