I've finished the first draft of my Remix story. Now I need it beta read and edited. I should easily make the deadline.
Part of me wants to go in and tweak my Finishathon sign up so that I give more information about the story ideas. Several of them are continuations of stuff I've already written and posted, but I doubt that strangers, when coming to vote, will want to follow links to the previous stories or chapters of stories. Following links and reading, especially in an unfamiliar fandom, takes a lot of time and dedication. My guess is that either the Harry Potter story will win or The Ordinary Princess story will win. Weiss Kreuz and Ranma 1/2 are unfamiliar to most of the people who'll be voting.
I'll post here when the Finishathon voting opens. The voting will mean more to me if I know that at least some of the voters are people I know.
Last night, we had to take Delia to rehearsal for her dance show tonight. The after school break dancing class she's been doing is participating in a show that includes a bunch of Rec & Ed dance classes. The show is tonight. I expect it to be fairly tedious (and it'll be dark, so I can't sit in the back and pull out my e-reader when Delia's not on stage). Scott's parents are planning to come.
Scott and I were unimpressed by the rehearsal. It was running about fifteen minutes late when we arrived. That wasn't particularly surprising. What was surprising was that Delia's teacher was trying to create and teach the number's choreography during the rehearsal. His first idea didn't work, so he tried something else. I have some sympathy for him-- He has to do a single number combining kids from several classes. Still, he could have planned better. He's known for weeks that this show was coming. It would have been nice, too, if each class got to do a number. For the other types of dance, it's by class rather than by style, and Delia's group had twenty or thirty kids on stage, trying to dance in a single line.
Delia got a bad case of stage fright over the whole thing. She didn't recognize anybody from her class, and she didn't believe me that the auditorium was where we were supposed to be. She actually started to cry when it was time to go up on stage because she wasn't sure she was supposed to be there. She was fine once she was on stage and part of the mob of kids, but we took her out for dinner after the rehearsal as a reward for being brave.
