haemophilusSaturday afternoon and I'm drinking coffee in my fave Starbucks five minutes from my house. It's drizzling outside. Knowing where I live, a flash flood could erupt at any minute but right now it's peaceful. I have work to do, but I hardly even considered working today. Today is a day for rest and writing and reflection I think. The best kind of Saturday, imo.
Moving over and making new rec lists has been really fun. I doubt many people will even see them, but I'm really enjoying it anyway. It's been fun in the past half-year figuring out how to interact with fandom on my own terms and my own turf. Somehow, I've made friends which is really nice. It feels like I have a bunch of writerly pen pals and I absolutely love it. Tumblr makes fandoms a bit much for me, so one on one discussion is just lovely.
Online school starts in basically a week which is exciting. In between that and preparing for this conference and writing fic and hopefully meeting people irl too at various clubs at the nearby university I think my life is going to be full of very good things.
Anyway, I really gotta finish up my Frank/Barbara fic. I'm so proud of how close it is to being done! I love the feeling of accomplishment that comes with finishing multichaptered works because I will admit that it didn't used to happen very much. After that, I really want to finish Transcendental Youth. I have pretty much full outlines for both Dee and Charlie. It's funny because the other day I was totally calling that series just 'a mood piece without a plot' and she's like 'dude that has a complex narrative' and I guess it does but it just doesn't. . .feel that way? The way it's written is unorthodox so it's kind of a narrative in spite of itself. But I'm really excited for it to be done because I think it's going to be really good. It's funny because you know those are some of my least read fics ever but I think the series at its completion is going to be one of my proudest achievements in the fandom and just of writing in general.
I find myself laughing at my rec lists sometimes because I can tell there are certain recs where like, I totally forgave not agreeing with the characterization in exchange for it having a trope I liked or whatever. I think everyone probably has fics like that, or even things they've written for kink's sake or something. I'll get up on my high horse about how I Only Like Fics That Are Close To The Way I See The Characters and Why Do People Write The Same Thing On Repeat and then go "hey does anyone have any more hooker aus, characterization I disagree with does not exclude hire."
(I say characterization I disagree with because like. . .hey that doesn't mean it's bad. Just means it's not how I see the characters. KEEP ON TRUCKING WRITERS DO HOW U PLEASE LIVE UR DREAMS.)
Ha! I knew it. . .the rain is really coming down now. Wonder how long it will last. . .
