Writing
Conversation at fannish brunch on Saturday turned to holiday fic and vid exchanges, as tends to happen this time of year. People persuaded me to skim the Yuletide requests spreadsheet, in which I discovered not one but two prompts that are right up my alley. The first was so intriguing, in fact, that I couldn't stop spinning out in my head how the story might go and started writing it the next day. It's now about 1,500 words and growing. Yay.
Want to write the other treat as well. It will take some thinking, but the discovery that a second person out in the world wants this story to exist may ensure that it happens.
This will be the first time I've participated in Yuletide. Feels strange.
Vidding
This will be the… fifth? sixth year I've done
festivids, and my assignment vid is drafted, which may be the earliest that's ever happened.
Somewhere between one and four treats for various recipients are on the docket now. Guess it depends in part on how long the Yuletide stuff takes.
Going
Mixed feelings about traveling for Thanksgiving this year. With luck, there will be downtime for writing. At least I will get to see
par_avion and then a room full of
no_detective,
ahab,
linaerys,
scribblinlenore,
barely_bean,
krisdia,
stlkrchck etc. Rumor has it there will be Magic Mike XXL and pie.
Watching
Season 6 of the Vampire Diaries on Netflix. Still flawed, but overall less boring than it has been in the past, and scarier, with the introduction of victim-stalking human killer Kai. Having fun superimposing Wanda and Pietro from MCU onto Liv and Luke.
Looking forward to checking out Jessica Jones (Krysten Ritter's faaaace on my TVVVV) and The Man in the High Castle but probably not for a little while.
Have also been watching/rewatching stuff for Festivids in the interstices. At some point will get back to Gilmore Girls, but S6 has been kind of tiresome.
Dealing
RL updates can wait for their own posts.
Thinking of you all and hope you are well. ♥ ♥
