The other prompt fill I wrote today ended up being full-story-length (~1100 wds) for Babylon 5, posted on AO3 as Exercises in Linguistics.

The prompt was: G'Kar and Londo (slash or gen, up to you!) and Language. Set in early season 5, probably between about 5x02 & 5x06.

( Exercises in Linguistics )

We have a little under 23 hours to go for signups! Here's a countdown.

As a reminder, your signup requests must include at least 3 different unique fandom tags, and your offers must include at least 4 different unique fandom tags. You can repeat fandoms if you want to select different tag combinations in multiple signups slots, but you do still need to make that uniqueness minimum. I've reached out to a couple of people as a heads-up and will check again after signups close.

To help matching go smoothly, you might want to check the requests and see if your offers can match to at least one recipient.

Finally, I've approved all submitted tags to this point except for Twilight Series - All Media Types, as mentioned last post. Nominator, please specify whether you want the books or the movies. We do have some book relationships already in the tagset.

If you're still thinking of nominations, make sure you submit them right away! I'll be checking in occasionally until signups close, but I may not get to them in time for you to add to your signup.

Catching up on some older prompts now that I'm in between books.

1. EvS on Sakhalin

Prompt: EvS, that last night on Sakhalin between when Biggles first speaks to him and his escape the next day.

Posted on Tumblr here.

( Under the cut )

2. EvS & Algy (Biggles/EvS implied)

Prompt: Set post defection in London. A misunderstanding leads to Biggles being told that Erich is cheating on him. After some angst and h/c, their relationship is even stronger.

This went in a Direction. Also posted on Tumblr.

1. New Dungeon Crawler Carl book comes out in just a month! I'm wondering if I should reread the previous book before it drops, because these books have about a zillion characters and I'm confident that I have forgotten most of what happened in it.

2. The thing which happened to me on Tumblr today was so weird that I'm going to describe it under the cut even though I already complained privately to friends. (Murderbot fandom is so freakin' weird. Seriously.)

( Awkward! )

3. Speaking of Space Swap, they are still looking for some pinch hitters!

Reading

I finished reading We Need Your Art by Amie McNee. I... can't say I really enjoyed it or found it helpful. I think perhaps my expectations were too high? Idk, I just didn't relate to really anything she was talking about.
I started rereading Mister Monday by Garth Nix (Keys to the Kingdom #1). I haven't read this in uhh probably close to 20 years, and I never finished the series. Let's see if i manage this time!
Ficwise, I've been rereading some VegasPete and catching up on some WIPs that have posted chapters recently. I've just not been feeling like reading much of anything lately.

Watching

The roommate and I watched an episode of Running Man Thailand. God, this show is so fucking funny. I keep laughing so hard that it like loosens all the allergy mucus in my lungs and I keep coughing lol Worth it. Especially since Tay finally won an episode!
The roommate, best friend, and I watched the latest episode of Duang With You. Sweet episode, even with a bit of a sad ending about Qin's past.
The roommate, best friend, and I watched the latest episode of Only Friends: Dream On. Kind of want to shake Arnold. Stop making Tua sad! But yay, Sand and Ray back, that was fun :)
The roommate, best friend, and I watched the last episode of Yesterday. Exciting, with Vier getting kidnapped for the... third? time. But it all worked out, yay! Though the last couple of seconds was confusing. Who was that and why??
The roommate, best friend, and I watched the latest episode of My Romance Scammer. Poor Pai! I'm glad he's figuring out he is loved, just got a few more blocks about Tim to get over.
The roommate, best friend, and I watched the Love Upon a Time. Such a silly, fun show! I'm enjoying it a lot.
The roommate, best friend, and I finished My School President. Excellent show, I'm so glad the best friend enjoyed it as well :)
The roommate and I went to see Project Hail Mary in theaters. Wow, so good, the hype was not lying! I cried, like, a lot lol

Listening

New solo song by Hong dropped: Let's Go!! Love the aesthetic. And the ripped crop top esp <3

Writing

Wrote more on the omegaverse ArmTae fic. Got to the point where I thought it would be the end and decided to keep going lol So now maybe halfway through? Or a little more?
Also wrote a poem. Not for NaPoWriMo, I have not been keeping up with that :/

Learning

I decided on my Q2 courses and immediately ran into road blocks. I was going to do a Coursera course I thought was free, but it turned out not to be and half the reading links on the preview were broken so I'm sure as fuck not paying for it. Another course, I was going to tie in with We Need Your Art, but I'm really not feeling that at the moment. So uhh time to regroup?

What I Just Finished Reading

KD Casey, Breakout Year: A m/m baseball romance that the author apparently wrote in response to feedback saying her books had too many Jewish characters, so now everyone in this book is Jewish, which is clearly the best way to respond to bigoted criticism. A+. Loved that. I wish I could say the same about the rest of the book, which is a fake-dating second-chance romance where only one of the main characters currently plays baseball, which means there's way less baseball than in her other books, which made it kind of meh for me because the author is really amazing at putting baseball as an integral part of her baseball romances (sometimes it's hard to find sports romances where the author seems like they actually care about the sport) so unfortunately I spent most of the book hoping for more baseball in the baseball book and not getting it.

What I'm Reading Now

Comics Wednesday!

( Iron Man #4 )

What I'm Reading Next

No idea. But, hey, maybe I can read books now? Here's hoping, anyway.

Current Mood: full

Proof: I have only read two books this year.

I've tried starting a few and I just hit kind of a huge stop some time in February. The only things that seem interesting are fanfic stories I've read a few times. Which, this is fine! Sometimes my brain just needs time off/a reset. But, something significant is that the last few times this has happened (I've run into a no-books reading wall) is when I've been badly depressed or too burned out to function (mostly).

If this were a perfect world, I would take a medical leave and work on my health, but here we are.

Anyway, I fell asleep at 9 last night and slept all the way through until my 7am alarm. It is likely to be one of the last lovely sleeping nights until October, and I am marking it as delightful for when summer hits and I'm sleep deprived and angry for 6 months.

Update: Hilariously, a coworker just notified us that they're going on an extended medical leave. I hope they're ok (it's not my business if they don't want to share) but I'm just kind of deeply amused rn.

Current Mood: lethargic
Current Music: starting over - chris stapelton
