It's still me!

not much has changed!

I had a weird weekend, all my games were cancelled and Nary was away on an impromptu trip to pick up her kid from University, so quiet.

The weekend before, though, we went on a trip up north-ish to the Bruce Peninsula and were there for the duration of what turned otu to be a pretty major ice storm. It didn't really affect us much, luckily, just meant we decided to write rather than watch TV because we didn't need the internet for that. the power flickered where we were staying but no long outages. I had to get out of the car and move a fallen tree so we could get out of the cottage driveway on Sunday. But also it was really beautiful. Ice storms truly are terrible beauty.

I'm into my last few weeks of having Fridays off and I am going to miss them, 4 day work week when :p

Still on a KJ Charles kick so listened to more of her books, and then last week Legends and Lattes, which was cute but not enthralling, and now I'm back on KJC.

Rare Kink Buffet opened last week and author reveals are on Wednesday so I'll be back with the, uh, 11 fics I wrote for that afterwards. It's nice because people really will read stuff there fandom blind to some extent, so things I would not otherwise have expected to be appreciated by more than like, 1-2 people have gotten at least a little attention. But things I thought might be more popular have not so hey, mixed bag.

I am working on another beastly installation of my AWRR AU, it's over 7 k. That is long for me. I'll be shocked if I can keep it under 10 :x

Not much more to say I don't think - time to give Hades his night dins and think about writing.

As a fellow near-miss on that ice storm, glad to hear you were safe!

That's a great achievement for Rare Kink Buffet! I'll only have managed 3 works before reveals, and expect to finish one more in the coming weeks before I potentially get signed up on other exchanges. It's always nice when works find their audience, isn't it?

I think we got Lake Huron's Revenge for missing the ice storm today, there is Too Much Snow for April :p

And thanks! I am really working on trying to write things I find interesting without worrying about having an audience but it is. A struggle. So it is nice when other people *are* interested. RKB is a great event for all of that, especially with so many Unspecified Requests I can shove blorbos into. Several of that 11 are drabbles but I think I still wrote like 13K for it :x

Far too much snow! Bring back 10°C. I saw this image linked recently and it felt unfortunately accurate.


I completely relate, it can be hard to self-motivate without an audience outside yourself. 13k is quite a triumph, well done! Especially with drabbles in there. A good fest-style event is hard to find. \o/

Yes, I've been telling myself I'd just fallen for False Spring... *sigh* At least I now it won't last long, and my lawn crocuses had a good run.
