I return bearing fic
I'm back!
What I did while I was away: sleeping, reading, sleeping, blackberry jam, sleeping. Seriously, I must have slept something like fifteen hours a day? 15 hours a night + 3 hours of siesta = 15 hours. I don't understand why I'm still tired. HOW?!
I also did a lot of reading. I finished a bunch of things, averaging about one a day, although a lot of it was comics and BDs, details forthcoming.
I did not finish Ghost of Cannae, because I am very very bad at reading non-fiction. I just keep stopping and highlighting bits and going "I need to put this aside for a bit while I think about it". I do this with everything! Whether it's Ghosts of Cannae or Rome's Revolution or Trickster Makes This World, every time I read non-fiction I end up highlighting at least one thing on every page. And we're talking ebook pages with a bigger-than-average size font, here. (Y'all should see what my paper copy of Métronome looks like. So many post-its!) Idk whether it's because I'm very very stupid or the books are very very interesting or something else, but I end up having to read tiny chunks at the time if I want to process things properly.
Also, I apparently became a "great historical specialist" ("la grande spécialiste historique Dhampyresa") while I was away, so that's nice. Where can I collect my award? (Just kidding. I ordered Le Graal de l'InfraMonde already. I was looking for info on when Book 3 was coming out, which is TBD.)
Also also, I was tired of feeling like I'd written fuck all since July started, so I wrote a fic on the train back.
House Rules (1111 words) by sevenofspade
Chapters: 1/1
Fandom: Ancient History RPF
Rating: Not Rated
Warnings: Creator Chose Not To Use Archive Warnings
Relationships: Scipio Africanus/Hannibal Barca
Characters: Scipio Africanus, Hannibal Barca, Gaius Laelius
Additional Tags: Alternate Universe - College/University
Summary: Game night is more interesting than Scipio first thought.
Basically, there was a bunch of people trying to play 7wonders (excellent game, btw, would totally reccomend) and a girl reading Kid Paddle nearby, so I wrote fic in which Hannibal and Scipio bond over playing Ephesus in 7wonders and Max from Kid Paddle is there also. (Untagged, because I find it very dubious that anyone would go looking for Kid Paddle fic on Ao3.)
It also fills the "High School / College AU" prompt of my
genprompt_bingo card from way back when.

Hey, does anyone know if I can count fics I didn't explicitly start for the bingo as filling bingo squares? And how much I can stretch the definition of "gen"?
/fails at bingoes forever
And that brings to 10 both the number of fics I've written in the "Ancient History RPF" fandom and that weren't written for anybody else (out of 39). I'm sure this says something about me. Not sure what, but something.
And now, more sleep.
