So, yeah...

I was wondering what's next for my characters now that not!Harry's been rescued (in a manner of speaking).

And I was awake at 3am (which, frequently, I am) and I was thinking about my major climax (because this was the mini-middle-climax, not the penultimate one) and trying to figure out what I'm going to do for an encore, when it hit me.

Or, you know, I hit it.

Try/fail cycle. Again.

My bad guy only thinks that this thing has worked to cure his wife of her malady. But it is, to quote Beaker, sadly temporary.

HOWEVER.

They used not!Harry as a human dialysis machine for a sick vampire. So now he's got the malady as well...

And thus continues in his role as My Favorite Punching Bag™.

In other news, all the Iron Man fans on my flist need to go read this fic right now:

"March and I had a scheduling conflict." *dies*

And while I'm here, I should do the Weekly Word Count.

*drumroll*

Last week's word count: 35,163
This week's word count: 40,663
Word count for the week: 5,500

And isn't that a nice even number? How the hell did that happen? Hee. More than three times my weekly goal, and 1,100 more than last week. I'll take it.

ARGH.

I...have been stinting on my worldbuilding.

Understand that the basic premise, the whole reason for this story, is that I have a sick vampire.

Have I put any actual thought into what she might be sick with???

Oh, hell no.

And now that's biting me on the ass. Or the neck, as the case may be. Considering my cast-iron kinks, it may be my wrist. Who the hell knows. ANYWAY. Now that not!Harry is going to be coming down with this...whatever it is, I guess I should figure out, you know, what it is.

And I also haven't quite figured out why they thought that giving her lycanthropy via nanotech might cure what ailed her. It just seemed like a good idea at the time.

HOW DO I GET MYSELF INTO THESE SITUATIONS???

*headdesks repeatedly*

I am so very lame.

So, someone at the robertdowney_jr comm (the lovely and effulgent csi_coolbeans wanted pix of Robert, preferably as Sherlock Holmes, vamped.

Considering what I just did to not!Harry, I thought the challenge was particularly apropos.

So, I made this:


( And then I got all artistic and stuff... )
