Life is going pretty well actually but uni has kept me busy the last couple of years. I miss writing fic though. somehow the drive I used to have is gone *sighs* who knows, I'll have some free time around december maybe I'll finish something short and sweet before the end of the year xD

That would be nice!

I can understand how Uni would rather take up your time though, all the studying and assignments with deadlines o_O This is why I left school at sixteen and never went back. Well, I did day release at college to qualify as a library assistant but that was all. i'm afraid I don't have the dedication or concentration to do the amount of work that education requires. Sometimes I'm too lazy to write fanfic, lol!

Ahahahaha deadlines, what deadlines? Ahahaha.

My issues with fics nowadays is less laziness but finding the time to finish before the inspirations is gone again? I've got like one million unfinished drafts and with half of them i don't even remember where i was trying to go with? That, and the ever increasing numbers of fandoms i'm attracted to. *headdesks* so many shiny otps!

I dug myself into a corner of the Torchwood fandom and took root I think, no other fandom has managed to prise me out of it so at least I only have single-fandom plot bunnies. They're reproducing fast though, I have three being written so I wrote something else yesterday and I have two I'm about to start, plus about two dozen other ideas... *meep* I'm not used to trying to write more than one fic at a time so it's a little scary. I have noteboooks with me at all times so I can write down bits of fic when they come to me, b ut my handwriting is so bad half the time I can barely read them afterwards. Still, it's better than having the idea slip away before I can do anything!

Hope you can hang on to inspiration long enough to write something!

I used to be the same. Sure,there were other fandoms and otps I had but Torchwood was the first fandom I actively participated in and it will always have a special place in my heart because it got me through some tough RL stuff but then the events of the show kept whammying me so much that I was kinda stuck in some sort of really depressing feedback loop and it started to show in my writing so I just shut that bit of fandom life down for a while. Then Merlin and Sherlock happened not to mention the Marvel Movies and the Hawkeye comic and rediscovering McShep as my first ship even though I never consciously shipped them back when Stargate Atlantis was on TV...so yeah...lol the bunnies are coming back(yay)but keeping track is hard, especially on my schedule nowadays. xD

I remain firmly in denial about certain Torchwood events, I flatly refuse to have any characters killed, at least not permanently - one has to make exceptions for Jack. ;)

I've only seen a few episodes of Merlin, haven't seen Sherlock yet and I'll have to wait for the Marvel movies until I can get them on DVD =(

I do love Agens of SHIELD though. I just wouldn't feel confident writing the characters. I don't know them well enough.

Yay for the return of bunnies!

Heh, who doesn't make exceptions for Jack? :D

lol, that's all right. I'm not even halfway through to feeling confident writing them. Then again, I never was any good at being confident about my writing anyway. I guess this type of anxiety is a writer thing. xD

Or as Jack would say: "Don't worry hon, we all had to start somewhere, even me. And look how that turned out!" :D

LOL! Yes, Jack, but Ianto puts up with you anyway! ;)

I'm better at posting Torchwood fic these days, I no longer go OMG WHAT IF NO ONE LIKES IT? when I post something, but I still feel more comfortable writing Jack and Ianto than anyone else. I recently did a Suzie drabble, my first attempt at her. I think it was pretty good, but then she didn't speak in it. I don't think I could write her speaking, lol! Theses days, my main worry is 'What if everyone gets bored with all these drabbles?' LOL! Of course, everything I write gets edited constantly until it's posted, because I'm never really satisfied.
