lakeeffectgirlThe Stucky is all posted! Whew! I have a lot of weird feelings about the longest thing I've ever written being for a fandom I'm not "in", and a pairing I don't really "ship" (for lack of better term). Mostly because Marvel overall is a lot of Stuff and I struggle with feeling like I need to be familiar with everything in a canon before I really jump in. (I'm working on this problem!) But readers have left lots of very sweet comments as I've been posting and it seems people still enjoy reading post-CA:TWS canon divergence things even though the movie is 10+ years old, so I am happy with how it's turned out.
Yuletide assignments have arrived and as always, I got what I least expected - but it seems my recipient and I have a good id match so I am excited. Giving it a week or so to ponder before I really sit down and start working - I have a couple basic ideas but am hoping something comes to me that really sparks joy. (Also I'm writing for a currently running canon, which I don't think I've done for Yuletide in a long time - I think the few other TV shows were at least between seasons when Yuletide rolled around.)
I also signed up for Marvel Trumps Hate, which I am vaguely terrified about - I have only done one other fic auction before in my entire career and the person who won was someone I knew (and the other winner never got back to me with what they wanted me to write, which was wild). Plus see above re: Marvel! But one of the mods flattered me into signing up so I figured, what the hell, why not? I don't have much else happening fandom-wise right now besides Yuletide. I really didn't think anyone would bid on me at all since I only dabble in Marvel but there are a few so far!
I'm hoping my extended gross stretch of writer's block has tapered off - last week I saw something mentioning Garden State and thought, "maybe one of these days I should finish the WIP that's only been in my gdocs for like ten years", and added 1500 words to it over two days. And crossing my fingers that today is the last twelve-hour work day (please, work has been so weird the last few months that we need at least one good thing to happen) and that Second Shift is cleared to return tomorrow. I would like to go to my eyebrow appointment in the afternoon and not have to reschedule; I need to chat with a human who isn't my co-workers!
