Update fail
And again, I fail at keeping up with my livejournal...
I've been in the mood to write something lately and I haven't got a clue what. I've signed up for the P/C Secret Santa exchange again this year because that, if anything, at least gets me to write something. I haven't been very into reading P/C lately, but I think as characters they're always going to be easily accessible for me. I've spent so much time with them that they're an easy groove to fall into.
Lately, I've been craving good Harry Potter fic. Good, random Harry Potter fic. SSHG is great but I want something epic and different. I've found a few good Lupin/Tonks fics lately and I'm thinking maybe more of that'll hit the spot. There's something so...cozy about good HP fic. Maybe it's just that it's the first fandom I ever read fic from but it puts me in a happy, comfy place that seems to suit winter so well. The never-ending supply of stories and of reliable recommendations is just a bonus. So many characters and pairings and awesomely talented writers and so little time.
Let's see, what else is going on with me... Not much. School's busy as usually but I think I'm managing to keep my head above water. My thesis is going to be massively sexy if we can just get all the details worked out, which is proving a bit difficult. My advisor and I have been trying to meet with the project directors since September and it doesn't seem like we're going to get a chance to until well into January. *sigh* I'm keeping my fingers crossed that it all works out.
I went home for Thanksgiving and of course that was a disaster. I don't think I'll ever understand my family. Grandma is racist and semi-senile and stubborn as ever. Won't go to a restaurant that she likes because there are "too many Mexicans who hang out there". *facepalm* Grandma, it's TEXAS. Get used to it. Non-white people don't bite. She also insists that she never celebrated Thanksgiving when she was growing up. And that my cousin is going to get a divorce but she can't remember why. My mother has to control everything and is consistently pretentious. My dad just doesn't care and my grandpa is sick of dealing with my grandma. We just don't talk and I don't get it. Chit chat? Fine. But I'm the only person I know who can talk to their parents 4-5 times a week and still not know that a family member is having health issues. At least I don't have to go home again until Chrismas. Happy holidays indeed... I'd rather just stay home Lulu is better company than the rest of them, even if she won't stop biting her feet and licking dishes in the dishwasher. You just can't beat cuddly, fluffy white puppy love. : )
Oh! I finally set up my AO3 account and moved all my fic over there. Lot's of TNG, a little TOS, and one HP fic that I'm pretty fond of. Hopefully there's more to come. I've got the first chapter or so of a Labyrinth fic written that I've been toying with posting, but I really want to get the whole thing done first. Which is slightly unfortunate because it's probably massively epic but I think it's an interesting story, if a little cliche. I've been wanting to write some HP but am sadly lacking ideas. Same problem for Once Upon a Time, which is turning out to be pretty fabulous. I'm so intrigued by the story but my fic juices just aren't flowing. Maybe once more episodes air.
I suppose that's enough rambling for now... Hopefully more to come? Maybe fic!
