o mifu update, where art thou?
Today's random content: o beautiful things!
lymanalpha has written a very beautiful, poetic, eerie Spock/Spock Prime fic. Don't be scared, it's like the un-porniest pon farr fic ever and the language is so gorgeous. Gah, fire pretty!
+ (There is also a lovely piece of art to go with it.)
+ (Also because lymanalpha is some kind of evil genius of craft, there's literal Rand/Chapel basketweaving. IDEK, just go look. It is Awesome.)
teamgaila is honoring their 100th post with a request meme. If there's something Gaila-related you've been wishing for, you should put it in!

Mifu update, day seriously, what day is it? 25
Tea units: 3.5 black w/honey and goat milk, 2 black/green/white mixture
Procrastination methods:
1. PMS
2. Like 10 million loads of laundry
3. Actual efforts (success level: medium) to cross things off my to-do list
4. Freak out about the terrorist threat posed by Teabaggers
Actual writing! 1934 words in 2 days! \o/ Normally I'm not that accurate with my word counts but in this case I can be because what I was writing was revisions to a story soixante_quinze and I wrote for ship wars, which was exactly 1004 words. We've been wanting to post it more widely BUT FIRST, I said, I want to do a few little revisions--because it was so, so hard to squeeze this story into the tiny space of 1004 words and we had to make some compromises neither one of us liked, like shortchanging T'Pring's side of the story. And leaping rather suddenly into porn.
(Oh, right--because the entire prompt? Was "porn." So in addition to the insano word count constraint, also wrestling with "fear of being struck by lightning for using the f-word in a fic.")
I want to say "fast forward to yesterday"--except it wasn't fast, it was actually ridiculous how many procraterbatory obstacles I put in my own way--but yesterday I was just post-PMS-y and hopped up on chocolate-covered ginger enough to tackle it. Those "little revisions"--which I swear hardly change the plot at all!--added up to 1934 new words, or almost twice the length of the original story. I literally made almost the same story, but with nearly 3 times the number of words. WTF? Is this a sign that I use too many words when I write? And yet, I do like this edit much more than the original. It's less abrupt. There's more kissing. It's much nicer to T'Pring also.
*pets T'Pring, leaves her and Stonn to get it on in peace*
