fannishly: fests and writing

[isiscolo]

In bullet points, because there are SO MANY:

• I have reluctantly decided not to sign up for
  femslashex. I was on vacation during nominations, and as a result though several pairings are Relevant To My Interests, I just can't muster up enough things I would be willing to write and/or really want to read. However, I did see something in one of the letters that has intrigued me, and I might write it, and I've signed up for the pinch-hit list. (As it happens most of what I am planning to nominate/offer/ask for for
  yuletide this year is femslash.)
• I am, however, going to nominate a bunch of stuff for
  trickortreatex, and sign up, as this was a really good tune-up fest for
  yuletide. And also, there are no limits on the fandom size, and a couple of the fandoms I'm interested in are over the Yuletide limit. Plus, as a fan of ghost stories, afterlife stories, and the like, it's a thematically appropriate fest!
• And, of course, I'm going to do
  yuletide again; I've done it every year since 2005, except for 2008 when I was in New Zealand.
• Speaking of which,
  morbane has proposed a comment fest (for Yuletide stories, or other stories) and I thought it would be awesome to make it into a bingo fest. So, if you want to do this as a bingo, paste the comment-separated list of pledges into the bingo generator, and post your card (or ask me to make you one)! (Things that aren't obvious, there is an implied "Comment on..." in front of each item.)
  
  Let me know in PM or comments if you want to do it, and if it's more than just me :-) I will make a post in
  yuletide for links to cards and gleeful fulfills, and make a post later with everyone who has completed a bingo row or full card before Yuletide assignments are sent out.
  
  My card:
  
  meta

• In non-fest writing news, my Raven Cycle OTx story is up to 30K. It is not quite finished, but really really close. I have some preliminary beta comments that make me realize that even when it's finished it won't be finished, ugh. Plus I have been reading some fic that makes me lament my cold prickly style. Ah, well.
• Other fic what is on my plate:
  
  • Promised drabble/remixes for Remix guess winners
  • Niall and Ronan thing that might be Niall/Ronan eventually, for
    darkrosaleen (currently about 1000 words)
  • Ronan and Nico crossover thing
  • Frontier Wolf AU which might be hockey and might be cycling
  • That Shining Company canon AU in which Faelinn lives
  • The Eagle Western AU motetus inspired (2500 words currently)
  Gulp.
