random thoughts
It could be Christmas, but I'm possessed by the Sacred Spirit of Fanwriting.
I'm so used to write in - let's say - "business English", that it's difficult to write in a "creative" way both in Italian and in English. When you spend your days writing emails of turnovers, customers and analytics, you kind of lose sense of writing about porn, romance and crazy fangirl things.
To be honest, I miss it even if it's so difficult now to get my head in the game, so the fun and relaxing part that entails writing about my favs pairing is lost in the mist of doubt and cliché. At the same time, I find myself not wanting to come back to the same pairing I've written about, but I'm experimenting a bit.
While browsing in my LJ friendlist, I found again some communities that didn't die out, so I'm going to try them out a bit, no pressure (so definitely no big bangs for NOW), and try to write nibbles of max 1k words, just to get re-acquainted to the whole thinking (hence writing) process.
In the meantime, I've written 2 HP ficlets for te owlpost xmas exchange and I'm so happy! Yay, I made it! I cannot even believe I got back at writing for the Harry Potter fandom! I really hope the giftees will be happy when they read it, at the moment I received great gifts and I'm dying to get to know who my gifters are! For the moment, I have to wait until beginning of January to find it.
In the meantime, I have to decide what should I do with my community of fanfic... not really sure it's still interesting to keep it open, since I'm not writing a lot. Although, I prefer to keep personal LJ separated from fanfic per se, even if I don't really use personal LJ. Mmmh, I'll have a thought about that and I'll see, because before closing the fanfic community I need to transfer the fanfics on my AO3 account and, let's be honest, I don't have this much time to do it.
