Today I'm finally remembering to finish and post an introduction post. Most important thing first:

I am constantly reminded of how far I have yet to come as an ally and as a person, but I just want to put this out there: If ever I do or say anything that makes you feel hurt, unwelcome, or uncomfortable, I promise that I will do my best to listen as calmly and patiently as possible, and if necessary will remove myself from the keyboard for time to calm down so my response will not be reactive or defensive. For any times that I have said anything that has hurt you in the past, I apologize. I'm always trying to do better, and I know that sometimes that's not enough.

This is sort of the "fandom works in progress" post I keep meaning to make and sort of a post trying to figure out what priorities I should have for the fic I'm currently writing and sort of a post trying to talk myself into signing up for both thelittlebang and the Merlin Big Bang (and also a floating reminder post). (As in, this is mostly for my benefit.)

(Written while the repair people are replacing the boiler. \o/ Warm showers shall soon be once more available to me! \o/)

Not-quite-complete list of what is either in my wip folders/on my agenda to add to them:

( Chuck )
( Dresden Files )
( Hikaru no Go )
( Harry Potter )
( Psych )
( RPF (Kanye, Politics, News, The Daily Show, & The Colbert Report) )
( The Devil Wears Prada )


Uh, and wow. I didn't realize quite how many stories I want to tell (this . . . isn't even including the five major original projects and assorted minor ones) until I wrote all of those out. (And this also doesn't include any of the ones put in the "probably abandoned" folder. D:) But this way I can now keep track of them all!

Current top priorities include Bones and Askewniverse fic, finishing at least one Shawn/Gus fic, one Chuck/Bryce fic, and one of the DWP fic, plus assorted flash fic for betaing.

This entry will be edited over time to reflect new fic added to my wip folders and the fic that claw their way out of the wip folders and into my fic journal.

(Updated 9/19/09)

Does anyone remember how back in December I asked for prompts? I may have recently started poking at those again.

If, theoretically, I wrote something called "Avengers of Valdemar" I am hoping to post in honor of tonight's Avengers midnight opening, would anyone be willing to look it over for me? And if, say, it is not finished, is there anyone willing to chat online and bounce ideas with me as I'm writing?

Not that I am 1200 words into any such fic. Not at all.

>_>

I think my time away broke my flash fic at will abilities or something. Once I have mastered the urge to write a 5k+ kidfic sequel to Happily Ever After with Goats in response to nel_ani's prompt, maybe I will manage some of the others.

--

Does anyone know if there is Erfworld fic? And if it involves Jack Snipe, Charlie, or Maggie? I know, I know, fandom of one most likely, especially if my google fu is anything to go by. I suppose I can save up for next Yuletide.

--

Relatedly, does anyone have any recs for books, webcomics, or games with fandoms? I am rather full up on shows, but if you have anything outstanding that seems like a good lure for a between-main-fandoms Tuesday (see in past: Chuck, Psych, Supernatural), I will take it. Or movies, though A-Team may have been a one-off thing and had a TV show before it besides.

I spent twenty minutes going through my folders for getting a head-start on this years Five Days of Tuesday, and I'd like to add something that I'm actively watching, reading, or otherwise engaging. Otherwise I'm mostly stuck with SPN fic several seasons out of date and which will take me forever to finish regardless. In case that sounds appealing, I warn you that these include things like a) angelpreg b) Gabriel failing at seducing Dean while Sam accidentally convinces Cas to be his angel boyfriend c) kidfic (yes, this is separate from the angelpreg).

What I am saying here is pretty please lure me into a fandom where I will be vulnerable to fic ideas.

I haven't actually gotten to read much in the way of Yuletide fic and I didn't have time to participate by officially signing up this year, but I did manage to snag one pinch hit for archiesfrog in a fandom dear to my heart.

Pterosaurs for All

Fandom: Eureka
Summary: Zoe should've gone to Florida for Spring Break.
Notes: A story about Zoe, Jo, and pterosaurs. Thanks especially to infinimato for the beta and jmtorres for staying up to hold my hand when I started freaking out over posting fic in a new fandom, as well as the_wanlorn for enabling my love of dinosaurs, pterosaurs, and other such awesome things.

At some point when I am home and not on my yearly trip to FL with my amazing mum, I will post some of the fic I wrote in my absence from DW. Until then (and a little after, too), I am taking flash fic prompts!

You can include time stamp requests of any of the fic I've previously written or any random idea you'd like to see me write. No limits on prompts per person, and I will be collecting and filling them through the 1st.

Because I didn't do Yuletide this year, feel free to ask me for small fandoms you know we have in common, or just hope we do. Feel free to ask about books, video games, webcomics, movies, tv shows, songs, or whatever. Not frantically typing away at a small fandom this time of year feels weird.

If you want something in a larger fandom, that's fine, too!

In sum: Hi, I'm back and would like to write y'all things. :D

It has occurred to me that might be in question considering my last entry before radio silence. Various things in flesh space (thankfully not ants) have overwhelmed me of late and will likely continue to do so. I won't be participating in Yuletide (assuming its running this year) or any of my other usual fannish activity; neither am I likely to manage any but the most sporadic of journal reading.

If you need me for anything, the only e-mail I'm regularly checking and replying to is my gmail. If you don't have that, feel free to PM me.

As ever, my thoughts are with y'all. ♥

WE HAVE ANTS IN OUR HOTEL ROOM. THEY HAVE CRAWLED ON ME. MANY TIMES. I KILLED TWO OF THEM AGAINST ME BEFORE REALIZING THEY WERE THERE. ONE OF THEM CRAWLED ON ME IN THE BATHROOM.

IT IS ALMOST THREE AND I HAVE STILL NOT CALMED DOWN ENOUGH TO SLEEP. CAPSLOCKS CANNOT CONVEY THE ENTIRETY OF MY DISTRESS. PLEASE SEND CALMING VIBES MY WAY.

Still haven't left yet! I will get to the hotel by sometime tonight. Whee, random anxiety attack over driving. Not even attempts to bribe myself with dropping by Molly's have gotten me out of the house. I have told myself that I will face packing by two and leaving by three. *crosses fingers for this being true*

For people who see me at VVC: I am totally up for hugs! Also, if I owe you fic, feel free to frown at me and remind me what I am supposed to be writing you. *eyes fan_eunice and nestra nervously*

Reminders to self for packing:
-Do not forget the blender!
-Socks. You forget these sometimes. You will actually need these.
-Medication.
-Clothing.
-Netbook.
-Bathroom things.
