Time isn't holding up

Happy New Year everybody! We made it! Let's make 2020 a good one, or at least better than last year.

In 2019, I wrote 30 stories in 13 fandoms, 6 of which I'd never written in before. I'll be posting a list after I get back from this party I'm going to in an hour.

I've got a bunch of new year's resolutions for 2020. Here are the relevant ones.

1. Submit to the mortifying ordeal of being known by regularly posting here about more than just my latest writing projects. 

2. Read at least one book a month and do a full review of it here. 

3. Find a new hyperfixation. Ever since Star Wars and I broke up, I've been listless and drifting. I've flirted with a few new fandoms and even hooked up briefly with some of my old ones. Oh, please, world wide media, send me a fandom I can really obsess over for at least a few months.

I've got a few more resolutions like get the broken windows in my house fixed and buy a ticket to visit my mom in Florida, but that's all pretty boring stuff. Last year I resolved to visit my friends in Denmark and install a ceiling fan in my bathroom and I accomplished both. Go me! I think I also resolved last year to be better about posting here and that didn't happen, so well, we'll see how it goes this year, I guess.

( keep going, it's a long list )

Yuletide Reveal

I wrote two stories for Yuletide: my assignment and one Yuletide madness treat. I was working on a Black Lightning story for beatrice_otter but it never quite jelled, possibly because I ended up marathoning Killing Eve instead of writing it. Sorry friend, but I defy you to watch that show and not get sucked in by the chaotic bisexual energy and murder.

Anyway, my stories!

One Last Leap
(Spider-Man: Into the Spiderverse)
Telling his parents he's Spider-Man is a leap of faith Miles can't bring himself to take.

This was my assignment for musesfool and I was super nervous about writing it because I really love her stuff and wanted to give her something good. I re-watched the movie three times and procrastinated like whoa before I got it how I wanted it. Thanks, mom, for beta-ing and helping me keep with the outing one's self to the family theme. She now knows what a total nerd I am in case she missed it before.


The (Non)Haunting of Nathan Young
(Misfits (TV 2009)
And to think he’d scoffed when Simon had tried to warn him. Everyone you love will die. What a laugh, right? Christ, he’s been such an idiot.

I whipped out this treat for brampersandon over the course of a single afternoon while the show played in the background. Did you know they changed all the sound cues for the Hulu version? It was both distracting and disappointing. "Lonely Souls" is crucial for the end of the first episode and this is a hill I will die on.
