FML.
Rating: K+ (PG) for minor violence and language.
Summary: It is the smallest of decisions that have the greatest impact. Somewhere along the line, something changed. The world will never be the same. Written for The Firm's May prompt challenge.
AN: Written for the prompt accusation, this started out small and kept growing. As you will soon see, the end result has very little to do with the prompt, but it was what started me off. In total I'm thinking there will be about five chapters.
Disclaimer: I do not own Alex Rider.

Is anyone available right this second for a quick beta job? (*coughcough this may or may not be for SpyFest, says the notorious procrastinator coughcough*). It's short--over the minimum, I promise--but in my opinion it's done. I just need a second pair of eyes. (Or third, or fourth...whatever.)
Thanks!

Updates on life: I'm already stressing about college applications. My mom wants me to write an essay now, but I have no idea what I'm supposed to write it on. I need to narrow down my potential choices, and figure out deadlines. I need to start studying for when I retake the SATs and SAT IIs. I need to do a buttload of summer homework. Basically, I'm stressed.
Fanfiction, thankfully, is a good stress reliever. I've also got this idea floating around in my head for an original fiction, but I haven't decided yet if it's worth it. I have, however, started to plan it out. (Which I did not do for this past nanowrimo, and which was a huge mistake.)
Anyway, that's my summer in a nutshell. How is everyone else doing?

My sister and I went to the movies last night. We saw Wolverine and Terminator. Wolverine wasn't bad, but it wasn't the best thing I've ever seen. It seemed contrived to me. (And of course, as a writer, I was picking the plot apart the whole time.) Terminator was better, especially since I've never seen any of the originals. They did a good job of making it accessible. Both were nice and action-packed. :D Neither were my favorite of the summer, though: that award goes to Star Trek. (The Russian kid in that one is also in Terminator. I'm pretty sure his name is Anton Yelchin--he's pretty cute. :P) I liked Star Trek the most of the summer, so far. Still on my list for the summer: HP and the Half-Blood Prince, Transformers II, and Angels and Demons. I just finished re-reading Angels and Demons, actually. Nice and twisty. A bit (only a bit, mind you) like James Bond in that the main character's love interest doesn't last more than a book. Which is unfortunate, actually, because the romantic interest in A&D is cool.
Oh! This actually has to do with writing. :P I got a book as a gift, recently, that is honestly a godsend: Stein On Writing, by Sol Stein. Seriously. It only took me like 3 days to finish it, and that's saying something considering I rarely finish nonfiction books. (Was that a run-on? Oh well, I'm too lazy to fix it.) It has advice on all of the stuff I worry about: characterization, plot development and so on. See if your library has it, or buy your own copy. I have a feeling that I'll be using mine a lot. :)
I think that's all. Forgive me for the rambling post; it's kind of late.

- The original fic is going smashingly well. I finally have a real idea of how I want to end it, and that has made it millions of times easier to go back and edit things that need changing. I have finally accepted that it will most likely not be finished by June 1st, but I intend on getting a print copy somehow, damnit! Maybe I'll even self-publish it. Who knows...I'm really excited, and really happy with where it's going.
- I added another AP class to my schedule next year. The authorities have declared me criminally insane. This brings the tally up to AP Calculus, AP Physics, AP Chemistry, AP Literature, AP Government and kinda/sorta AP Spanish. AP Chem is the new one. My guidance counselor let me drop band instead of english, which she likes to insist would look bad on my transcript. I like to insist that english class is useless and dumb.
- I am now addicted to instrumental rock. A.K.A the post-rock station on last.fm. It's absolutely perfect to listen to when I'm writing...no lyrics to get in the way of a good thought, and damn good music, too. :) (If anyone else has a last.fm, I'm Emmy-loo92. Why did I pick such a common screenname??)
- AP tests are sneaking up on me way too fast. Especially that of the US history variety. (English is dumb and does not require studying whatsoever.) I studied today with friends for like 3 hours, and watched a movie yesterday on the 50s and 60s, which I borrowed from my history teacher. I am a nerd, but it's okay, because I've come to terms with that fact. Basically I'm studying in the afternoons and watching history movies at night in the hopes that I'll absorb every aspect of American history before Friday. It's great fun.
On that front, I should probably write some more. :)

Anyway, I've thankfully had a few days like that recently. I've gone up in my original fic from about 53k to almost 57k today in a matter of days--which is the most I've written in it since November. Also, thank God, I'm basically done with preliminary edits. I have to insert a few more scenes here and there (and, you know, actually finish the story!) but I feel like I'm almost over the hump. It's lovely.
Fanfic has sadly taken a backseat, though. I've already fallen way behind on my drabbles and my other stories have basically come to a halt at this point. Hopefully I'll have more time for those in, I don't know, June. (Cross my fingers it will be earlier than that, but I've got AP tests coming up in a few weeks (eek!!) and the end of school after that.)
I'm in a remarkably good mood today, though, so I won't ruin it with talks of the future. :P

Why am I talking about this now? Oh yeah, I just finished an 8-page paper for AP Language. I am such a procrastinator. She literally assigned it a month ago. I started it when? Today? Yeah, that's me.
