Relatedly, I was listening to a podcast where someone had come up with five types of perfectionists. I am definitely a procrastinator perfectionist: someone who doesn't start things because they're perfect in their head and once they start they're no longer perfect. I know this because there is fic in my head that I absolutely... Continue reading

Gen Freeform Exchange Pinch hit
I am too tired to post anything meaningful, but I saw that I am a post-deadline pinch hit on Gen Freeform Exchange, so I thought it might be useful to promote that. The deadline is Friday (US time) (negotiable) and I am easy to please because I've completely forgotten what I asked for. I didn't... Continue reading
Some actual fic
Although I wrote it two months ago. The original posting date was 24th March and that was after I'd mustered up the energy to work out the formatting. Anyway, back in early March unsent-letters-exchange was happening. There were some interesting things being nominated and some interesting things people were asking for. But I was having...

Unconventional Courtship
is back! I spent ages looking through Mills & Boon and Harlequin summaries, until I went mad. Generally at the summaries for being so awful. I wanted to write the gay pirates, but I couldn't find anything that was both silly and subtext. M&B aren't exactly known for their subtext... And then in my saved... Continue reading
Drabbles
had a Drabbleathon for February, when I'd just finished watching Mr Selfridge and had some fic ideas. So I thought I'd write a few in drabble form and ended up writing ten... There was a point when I thought I'd cracked the drabbles by writing 100 words in the first draft. Although it made it... Continue reading
Writing

I finished off a fic I started in 2018 that's a sequel to one wrote for me in an exchange. At one point it was 4905... Continue reading
Drabbles
There's a drabble commentfest going on at https://hogwartstoalexandria.dreamwidth.org/32817.html. I put some prompts up last night, got some great drabbles from them. And today I managed to write some drabbles. Turns out I still can! Go and add some prompts and some fills (it's got very Classic Who in there at the moment...)
Space Swap
Now has been revealed, I can talk all about it. First, I got an excellent Galaxy Quest world-building gift: The Quest Continues (1668 words) by tablelamp Rating: Teen And Up Audiences Summary: Messages from an online Galaxy Quest community, circa 1999-2000 It's delightfully nostalgic. And for the first time in an exchange I shook my... Continue reading
What I am writing
What I am reading at the moment is fanfic. I had whole collections bookmarked and some fics on my marked to read later list at AO3 that I was avoiding because they've been on there for so long. I am finally getting through them, so I'll have cleared the back log. I am writing my... Continue reading
A finished fic
I finished a fic! I started it in June 2019, so it hasn't quite taken three years. Which is pretty good as it's long (for me). I decided last weekend, to make me sit down and finish it, that my deadline was this weekend. Also, I signed up for and sign ups for that close... Continue reading
