It's going to be a busy weekend (I'm working at a booth at a local Pride event for most of Saturday and then have some training on Sunday), so I don't know how many of these I'll get to.

  • Update the fic master post. Sonata's not even on there, and it should be!
  • Clean out the fridge. It's been a while and I'm sure The Beets That Time Forgot are somewhere in the back needing to be dealt with.
  • Actually cook. I could bake some bread, I'm picking up some chicken today that I could throw in the slow cooker, I have all the ingredients for chocolate chip cookies, I have some potatoes and cauliflower I need to use up...it's been a rough year on the cooking front but I will not be living off box mac and cheese all of autumn.
  • Write up at least one kink meme fill. I have half a dozen or so started, so I just need to pick one and finish it. Done! I picked one and finished it. :D
  • Take a walk. Yes, it's going to be blazing hot. Wear sunscreen, bring water, and go outside anyway.

We'll see how it goes! It's been a rough few weeks, but I really need to get back to some regular routines before school starts back up and everything shifts again. Wish me luck.

A day late, but I successfully made herbed flatbread tonight after a tragic kitchen failure last night. I can cook!

(Not that that was ever really in doubt, but boy, last night was exciting.)

AMNESTY WEEK #027
Challenges # 001-270

Amnesty Weeks are a chance to post any stories you've written that, for whatever reason, weren't submitted during that week's challenge. And if you can't get the entries you want in during this Amnesty, never fear! The next one will include challenges 001-280, so you'll never miss out.

There's no voting for amnesty entries, and there's no limit on how many you can post, so long as each entry meets the usual community requirements (less than 1000 words, not NC-17, etc.) If, however, you manage to end up with 30 of the things you want to post, try to spread them out through the week for the sake of people's reading pages. These entries may also be crossposted and previewed anywhere you like, since there’s no voting to skew.

At the end of this two-week window, a post will be made collecting all the links of the posted entries, which will also signal the end of the posting period, and a new regular challenge will go up.

Entries are titled the same way as normal: [#] Story Title (Fandom)

Accountability for myself: when I get home tonight I am going to at LEAST make flatbread. It won't take very long, and then I have bread for grilled cheese or whatever I want to take to lunch tomorrow and Friday.

(Yes, even if I'm really tired and just want to read when I get home. Cooking for 30 minutes, 20 of which is letting the dough sit, will not kill me.)

HELP. I wrote genderbent vaguely-Sonata-verse drawerfic just to get it out of my head, and what was supposed to just be a kinky sex scene to live on my hard drive forever just sprouted a plot.

I have other projects to work on! I don't have time for Yet Another Turnabout Serenade AU, Genderbent Edition, This Time Rated E!

...fiiiiiiiiiine I'll write it and see how far I get. Might be a fun "work on this in between serious fics" project. But still. C'mon, brain. Why.

(I would blame this on a stressful weekend and Mirage dumping a glass of water on my head at 2 AM, but honestly I think my brain is just like this.)

[personal profile] fanweeklymod posting in [community profile] fandomweekly
Challenge 270:
PRIDE
...goes before a fall?

Pride isn’t always a bad thing, of course. Confidence in yourself, satisfaction in a job well-done, open self-acceptance – all of those might fall under the category of being proud, and those are generally good things! But taken too far, pride can make things difficult; too much pride might stop you from accepting help, be off-putting to friends or family, or even turn into dangerous overconfidence.

Are your characters proud, justifiably or otherwise?

Write a story about pride.

BONUS GOAL: “What are you worried about? It’s me.”

If your submission features this line, it will earn an extra point to be tallied in voting!


Challenge ends Monday, August 11 at 9:00PM EST.

Not having a big project actively in-progress (either at work or at home) feels so weird. What do you mean I can just sip my tea and work on some continuing education this morning, and then tonight I'll have time to cook dinner and play video games?

I finally got around to watching Kpop Demon Hunters and had a blast. I don't think I'm going to be particularly fannish about it (I had fun, but I didn't feel the "oh, I NEED to read fic" pull), but boy am I glad I waited until I was completely finished with Sonata to watch it. There's just enough thematic similarities that it would have Done Things to the final two chapters, and this way I'm allowed to put the soundtrack on loop for the next six weeks without impacting a carefully planned thematic ending.

I have Forsaken Road and broken beaten damned plot thoughts in progress, but I need to figure out some character names before I can really start bouncing those around. So I'll probably work on some kink meme fills for a bit, catch up on badly neglected Fandomweekly banners, and hold off on detailed longfics for a little while.

Mirage has her first vet appointment on Friday! We'll see how it goes, but she's a sweetheart, so I'm optimistic. The only real problem is going to be getting her in the carrier in the first place, and as long as I catch her before she slips under the bed that'll be fine.

There's another goose with a broken wing in the park, so I may be doing another Goose Rescue this weekend. I've learned from last time, so this time I will be bringing friends and planning accordingly. (I have several friends who responded to the story with "why didn't you call me? I want to catch a goose!", so I think there will be interest.)
