Whittering Away...

I'm trying very hard to not let my enthusiasm get ahead of me re: setting up The Gentlewomen's Science Fiction Society And Intemperance Union podcast. I have to find a balance between "Ayie! Must do everything right now" and a pace/approach that won't have the contributors throttling me. It's hard to produce a podcast when throttled.

The crew is a fantastic cross-section of fandom. Name a topic, I've got someone who can speak on it.

With luck, the first eps will be available at the very end of September. I'm currently up to my eyeballs trying to set up a forum for the crew and (hypothetical, as yet) listeners. Having never done anything with PhpBB before, the learning curve has proven annoyingly steep. Fortunately, I've a tech-savvy friend who has offered to help and he'll no-doubt figure it out in a trice.

Elsewise, I need to source various podcast directories, set up an RSS feed for the show and generally figure out how to get the word out about it as the end of September approaches. Not much point in doing this if no-one listens!

The Doctor Who costuming website has stalled, awaiting art from the webmeister and further contributions for the character pages. And, oh yeah, we have to migrate it over to the webmeister's domain. Eight months behind schedule and counting! (Typical fandom project, alas)

Very bummed to have my sewing stuff scattered across two storage units. Am wondering if I could make a kitchen-table project out of Romana I's The Power of Kroll costume - but it's very low priority as I'd need a Doctor to walk around with that one (it's not as distinctive as her Androids of Tara rig). Desperately wish I could afford the fabric from the Mercy Hartigan costume, of course...

I had intended to start writing for the Time Agency Fanfic of Dooooom, over the weekend, but lazing and loafing (and the podcast) took precedence. I'm thinking I can get started tonight, as I really am quite keen. The outline for the second half of the series still needs doing but I've got some pretty good ideas where it's going to go and how - fixing some serious issues with Eps 2 really helped in that regard...

Gosh. All this fandom-media stuff on my plate... I love it!

a question

Do you get driven nuts when story stuff you're working on is almost gelling in your head but won't come together?

What do you when that happens?

One question, is everyone in the Time Agency a captain?
