I have a draft for Yuletide! I don't think I usually cut it this close. I went to Australia and New Zealand a few days after assignments went out and was too busy to write on the trip, and I figured I'd get my shit together after the election ( Read more... )

Belatedly getting this up. I wasn't expecting assignments to go out so quickly.

Dear Yuletide Writer,

1. Note to self: remember to sign up for Yuletide this weekend2. I'm flying out for Australia and New Zealand on Friday evening ( Read more... )

For Yuletide, I wrote Almost Human. I was delighted to be assigned this fandom, because it meant I had a good reason to watch the entire show over again in the correct order. My recipient never unlocked zir Dear Yuletide letter and included no prompts in the sign up, so that was a bit of a tough road.

Christmas with my family was good, aside from several people being sick and communicable (fingers crossed that I didn't catch anything), but then the shenanigans started.

I am trapped in the Midwest due to freezing rain. My flight was cancelled and has been rebooked for WEDNESDAY. I have no cell signal and barely have internet, so I can't read Yuletide.

I feel like my Yuletide story should be more impressive than it is, considering that I wrote it in three countries. It's done and posted, in spite of my travel to multiple continents and the concomitant jetlag. I reserve the right to continue noodling with the title and summary later today, because I came up with them in a fit of desperation after ( Read more... )

I made it to India last week without too much trouble. It turns out that underwire bras will set off the metal detectors in United Arab Emirates airports, which means you have to go into a Ladies booth to get wanded. The more you know ( Read more... )

I'm off to India for a week tomorrow morning and then I'll be in Ireland the week following. I've got connections through Abu Dhabi and Dubai. It's a work trip, so I won't be doing much sightseeing, but it's still an adventure ( Read more... )

My passport is getting a workout this year. I just booked a December work trip. I'll be spending a week in Hyderabad, India, and then zooming over to Dublin, Ireland for another week. I need to figure out accommodations and whether I need a visa for India, and book tons of meetings with people in each office. Probably won't be doing much sight- ( Read more... )
