Health is... healthing. I'm barely keeping up with anything I want to do. On the other hand, I'm reading a bit more. My newest fandoms are Hazbin Hotel and Helluva Boss and I need more of both of those.

I do like finishing what I've started. I'd be doing that anyway, so I'll be sure to be participating! Even if it is just in spirit.

On the bright side, this magazine has enough activity that just making a new thread doesn't jump it to the front on hot/top. On the other, need to remember to click on new to make sure I don't miss Roundups!

On a more "capitalists ruin more things" tumblr is going to join the other big name sites and sell their user's art and images to their choice of AI. Technically not officially announced and it's rumours. But given Tumblr's record of horrible choices I would not be surprised. Further reminder for me to start fixing up my Pillowfort and such lol aaaaa

I'm 3 pages away from finishing my latest comic oneshot. I'm who knows how far away from finishing any pure-text oneshot.

I'm still emotionally shot. Anxiety is amped and it doesn't take much for me to panic. But hey, I'm existing.

Congrats on those microfics! And thank you for sharing the event. That's a nice one to vibe with~ (helped you finish 3 fics and a pattern? Insane!)

I am apparently cycling between “too dead to function, much less write more than a few sentences” → “writing a fill for a prompt in one sitting in a feverish daze” → “struggling to typocheck and post because too tired” and back to the start. That’s… not ideal.

This is such a mood.

I wrote an entire fic in one sitting as a primer, and now I'm stuck halfway through another, but brainstorming maniacally.

Am very intrigued by this "Finish What You Started" event, despite not generally being a big events type. (I don't dislike them, they just don't always align with my energy and therefore they're not as useful to me much of the time. )

This weekend was a bit more busy, but in a pleasant way, as we got to see some loved ones and we're making progress on acclimating a couple of adopted cats. :)

I lately got into a fandom for an older indie game, and I never expected it would have any fanworks, and if it did, I expected them to have been written years ago. But when I looked on AO3, there was just one fic, written a little over two weeks prior. The author was really grateful for my comment, responding with one twice as long as mine…something that’s never happened to me before! A few months later, someone else commented, and posted a fic of their own a few days afterwards. I really want to keep the momentum for this fandom going, and it’s finally given me the boost of motivation I needed to finish—and publish—my first fanfic. It’s not done yet, but I have about a thousand words written as of right now.
