real life update
RL is awesome at the moment. Hence the lack of prompt-filling and fic-writing and general fannish behavior. I know it's not fair to generalize and say that all fan behavior stems from filling a void in RL, but mine really does. I'm comfortable enough with that unfortunate reality to be open about it.
But sometimes, and hooray for this, life imitates art. I've written fic about gay and bisexual men for eight years of my life; now I'm finally dating one of the latter. It is lovely. He told me he reads gay erotica and I was just like, "Me, too!" No need to elaborate that it's fandom-based. It's all just good.
To be honest, I wasn't really sure bisexual men existed to the degree they proliferate in fic. I'm still not convinced of that. But getting to know one IRL has been illuminating. All is well. I kind of miss writing porn about Sherlock and John, but there will be time enough for that when this relationship has to end. Expect loads of super angsty fluff.
