(no subject)

Okay, I slept for eighteen hours last night, I am slightly recovered now, so I can post this. *grins*

I graduated yesterday. I now officially have an undergraduate degree, Bachelor of Arts in archaeology and geography. *grins* Got the piece of parchment and everything. Hee!

And it was a good day, too. A nice ceremony (though I was apparently the ONLY female there in trousers and flats - I missed the memo on dressing up, it seems), two pretty decent speeches by the University President and a guest speaker. But more to the point, I got to meet back up with a lot of the people who helped me. My mentor and friend. My counsellor at the DSS office. The tutor who helped me through those last couple of months when I had what felt like a dozen essays to get in at once. *grins* It was so nice to say hello to them all again. And I got a startlingly large amount of hugs. From parents, too. I'm the first in the family to graduate since Mam herself. Heh.

Plus. I got to see my city again. My college. I missed them so, these past few months. I really, really did.

Though they've gone and redone the interior of the geography department while I was gone. That did annoy me. I liked those old stairs! They were my friends! They were the best spot for a quiet sit-down before you hit the library, dammit! *grumbles to self*

Oh, I have to go back there. In, you know, a couple of decades when I've made enough money to do some courses on the side. The archaeology department introduced a course on underwater archaeology, the bloody year after I leave! I will have to go back. I miss the bloody place already ... Heh.

Original Fic Prompts?

Right. Some explaining, here. Heh.

I'm trying to get back into writing, since I haven't written anything in ... something more than two months? Something like that? Also, more specifically, I'm trying to get back into the swing of writing original fic, because my sister and I are attempting to start writing one of our shared universes (one of the massive ones, too, because we're masochists like that -_-;) and I need to get back in practice. Heh. So.

Prompt me from one of my original universes? Prompt can be just the universe name, or something more detailed if I've managed to mention some of what the universe actually involves. *grins sheepishly*

You can find my original stuff (or at least names and some descriptions) at one of the following:

- 'Verse overview post, which includes details of around seven worlds, and has a list at the bottom of others
- Southwark overview post, which goes into one universe in slightly more detail
- For stuff I've actually written previous fics in, there's the following: Galactic Duality 'verse, Carogne 'verse, Dak Territories (On DW), Jawburn arc of the Medath universe
- And then any expansions/continuations of any fics/ficlets on my original fiction tag (most of the one-shots will be nearer the end, before I started focusing on Carogne and GD). In fact, I think the only two of my fics without a direct fantasy/sci-fi bent are there (Clay and The Arrangement, for those curious).

The prompts may take me quite a while, because I am at present extraordinarily rusty at both orig fic and writing in general, but any and all help and prompts would be welcome -_-; Thank you!
