Signs that I am procrastinating and/or not progressing much on the Gauntlet:

No LJ updates. No Gauntlet updates for the obvious reason, no other updates because of the CRIPPLING GUILT :P.
Several hours researching the many and varied subjects not encompassed by designated Gauntlet stories, including:
- the twelve alchemical processes
- homunculi
- the Spheres (number, order, composition)
- luminiferous aether
- animal magnetism/Mesmerism
- Galvanic fluid
- goldstone
- owls
- Sekhmet
- Isaac Newton's occult studies
- the Brown Dog affair
- Edward Lear
Discovering the Just So Stories online (complete with Kipling's original illustrations) and reading them aloud, just because.
Reading crack!fic crossovers, despite bandom being a strange and foreign land. (fic recs to come)
Plotting a few 'Five [whatevers]' crossovers, which requires:
- reviewing source material (aka "I'll just watch Once Upon a Time in the West one more time. And Hyperdrive.")
- watching specific episodes of Supernatural "for research"
- working out timelines
- cursing my non-ownership of Highlander DVDs, especially season five
- falling upon YouTube and getting distracted by old video clips of Queen
- praising the existence of fandom-specific wikis and websites
Playing Desktop Tower Defence.
Playing Spider Solitaire.
Playing Scrabble.
