Feelings and Pimpage: Valentine's Meme

[fleete]

I've been feeling a little burnt-out, fannishly, lately.  I think it has to do with some RL stress.  I've just been getting very sensitive, especially since Christmas.  I'll read through my tumblr dash and LJ feed and get easily annoyed by other people's likes/dislikes/rants.  I think I need to step back a bit and focus on myself, y'know?  Stop

Oh no! *squishes you* I am sorry you are feeling fannishly down. Feel free to email me if you want.

I totally want to write you comment porn, but um, I'm not sure you'd like it? I want to do something based on that scene in 5.11 (I think) where Mordred comes up and challenges Merlin and then he goes away and Merlin tells Arthur he's like a swan. Remember that scene?

:::hugs:::

I'm stressing about my camelotremix and thinking about defaulting the billion different ways I could improve the damned thing.

ETA: I just recced The Shoemaker at halfamoon (on DW, not sure if I'm supposed to crosspost or not) and I signed up for the big pod thing with this fic in mind to record, so hopefully it will get some awesome extras too!

(And um, dude, if you want to write me angry!sex, I will never say you nay. (So long as it's not dub-con? I don't think I can handle dub-con in my current stressed-out state.) 5x11-5x13 really changed how I think about Mordred, because I had ALWAYS assumed the writers were making him secretly!evil as opposed to what they actually did. It makes me want to go back and re-think Mordred, y'know? Because before Cara shows up, I could really actually see Mordred/Merlin happening. With lots of suspicion on Merlin's part, of course, but still.)

You and I should totally gchat about camelotremix, because I am pinchhitting for that, and I've never written a remix before!

Thanks sooooo much for the rec, as well as the unbelievable rec of your wanting to podfic it! If you need anything at all during the podficcing process, do let me know!

So, I've never written angry!sex. I assume at some point they have to become not angry so it doesn't turn into dubcon, right? I was thinking dubcon would not be to your taste.

LOL. riventhorn and I are working together (ie, helping each other out). Hers is done. Mine is still a huge morass and there is MUCH angsting on my part. MUCH. If you see I'm logged in on gchat as "available" hit me up, ok! I am around a bunch this week, for once.

Aw. You are awesome bb. I love your stories. I am so excited to record it. I was going to do it anyway, but this podwhatever thing came at a propitious moment:D

I am sorry you're feeling down. I am feeling similarly at the moment and it always upsets me because fandom is my happy place you know?

When paperpushers starts up, I think it will be better as everyone will be flaily excited and stuff :)

*hugs*

I feel like Im in a funk and uber sensitive lately myself so I can sympathize. Im not sure why Im feeling like this but it might be from stress too.

I hope we both can find some serenity and peace.
