That tired old journal post has been annoying me...

There hasn't been a lot of creative output from me lately - save for the two draft fics I was working on - here's hoping I'll fix that soon!

Anyone who's been vaguely reading some of my notes should know that I've been attempting to bring the half-finished Dragonriders of Pern wiki up to scratch. As of this post, I've completed something like nineteen out of thirty one synopses for the books and short stories (and also the two game books; Dragonharper - follows Robinton's first posting as a journeyman; pretty much retconned by the publication of Masterharper of Pern - and Dragonfire - takes place after The White Dragon, and follows Mirrim seeking to prove herself innocent when she gets the blame for objects going missing from Landing), and have another five I'm working on (the list with the links to the various synopses is here; [[link] ).

Basically, I write my synopses by rereading the books and making careful notes (such as who appears in which chapter, for example). When I've finished doing this for all the books, I'll be able to use these notes to write up accurate character and location pages (several of these have already been written, for characters and locations that only appear in single chapters). Of course, help would be much appreciated. It's quite likely that I'll take a break from this in time - I have work to do, after all - but hopefully my notes should prove helpful to some degree...

What else? Oh yes! You might have ended up on my page if I recently faved several of your works! The reason behind this vast splurge? For a while I got into the habit of saving deviations I liked in my "Favourites" - not the Deviantart Favourites file, but the Internet Explorer favourites file - before downloading them (if they'd make a good desktop or were just good bits of art) and faving them (or just faving them if there isn't the download option). After noticing there was a bit of a backlog (something like five hundred pictures!) I decided to do a bit of pruning...and I'm still not done!

And on a final note, I'm looking forward to April; off to see the How To Train Your Dragon arena spectacular! Looks pretty cool, and I meant to see the Walking With Dinosaurs one, but never got around to it, so I'm making up for lost time! Plus, it's an excuse for a trip!

Right...now to make sure I don't leave this as my journal for the rest of the year like last time...
