I've spent the last week in a haze of "am I really on holiday?" followed by "I am so tired and must sleep", so I haven't had a chance to post about the awesome history exchange, which went live a week ago. Authors have already been revealed. I haven't had a chance to go through all the wonderful fic, but historical fiction is my go-to happy place, ( Read more... )

So 2014 turned out to be the year that I switched to tumblr, almost entirely abandoning DW/LJ, seriously got into the F1 fandom, and started writing again. Boy, did I start writing again. I wrote 76,857 words across a variety of fandoms, primarily F1 and Top Gear, but with a few others thrown in. So here is the overview:

 Wow, I haven't posted here in a little while. I've mostly been stolen by tumblr, which is easier to post to from a mobile as I spend far less time doing social media stuff on my laptop. I was thinking about getting a laptop that's a little more portable, which would allow me to write more and blog more; any recommendations?

In the meantime, I wrote ( Read more... )

I completely forgot to say that I'm writing again! Courtesy of The World's End, which is one of the more depressing films I've seen. To those saying it's hilarious and you couldn't stop laughing: were we watching the same film? Notably, there has been a marked gender divide in the responses, so maybe there's something to that.

Anyway, fic resulted ( Read more... )

It's Yuletide reveal time! I remain without internets, trying to do this on my phone. My kingdom for broadband!

Anyway, I wrote 5 fics for 4 fandoms this year:

Oh, beloved old fandom I don't date write for! I dared this Yuletide. This was such a lovely assignment to ( Read more... )

So, I watched The Bourne Legacy today.  And... it was great?  But I aso thought that it was massively problematic, and actually borderline ableist, especially about the whole Kenneth James/Aaaron thing.  Maybe there was more to that story that got cut, or will end up in the DVD? But I wanted to do something with that. Er, obviously, I may have ( Read more... )

So, after much flanick, I was able to write a few treats for yuletide . The reveal -

So, I've had to default on Yuletide this year. Yes, despite looking forward to it for months and months. Real life has spiralled out of control somewhat, and I needed to cut down on deadlines and obligations in order to be able to manage it. I figured it was better to default early and give my recipient a chance to receive a fic from someone who ( Read more... )

I've been off the grid for a little bit. Mostly I've been writing articles for BadRep, writing fic for Top Gear, and reading about cars and engines. If you've had the misfortune to spend more than five minutes in my presence in the last few months, you will know that I am all about the cars now. In a secret, must not mention this to my father, sort ( Read more... )

What with one thing and another, I haven't written much this year. What I wrote was almost entirely for challenges, exchanges and fundraisers, with the odd little thing thrown in on the side.

Anyway, first up, yuletide reveal:
