Wee update

So… I know I just (FINALLY) posted a fic, but… I started my long-hinted-at, long-planned sequel to my fic Isosceles at last!! Just 700 words in, but I just wanted to get it planted, you know? I’m excited for this one! :D

darthmelyanna:

I went and looked at the NYT coverage of pairs skating and — y’all, I’m not going to spoil the results for anyone, but the pictures they included are hilarious.

I give you: blurry Canadians!

Italian lady looking concerned and Italian man barely in frame!

The weirdest possible angle for this pose!

Blurry Italians!

*record scratch*You’re probably wondering how I got here.

Who — who decided this was a useful picture, you guys. Who.

And last: the skates of Miriam Ziegler of Austria.

I cannot emphasize this enough: the photojournalist credited for all of these is a two-time Pulitzer winner.

This post made me laugh a lot

Here it is at long last!! Thanks to all of you for being patient (or at least not actively expressing your impatience, ha!). Life has thrown me a couple of SERIOUS curveballs these past six months or so and finding scraps of time to write in has been tougher than ever. But here it is, a new piece at last! I hope you like it! <3

Length: 29,587 words

YOU GUYS, I FINISHED MY FREAKING FIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! IT FEELS LIKE I’VE BEEN WORKING ON IT FOREVER AND TEN YEARS BECAUSE I HAVE NO FREE TIME THESE DAYS AT ALL BUT NOW IT’S DONE AND I’M SO HAPPY I COULD CRY!!!!!!!

It needs edits! But the point is, it’s actually freaking done and will actually be posted within my lifetime!!!!! AHHHHHHH!!!

be-there-now-in-a-minute:

Calm down John.

There is no way, absolutely a 0% chance that John is not: a) jealous of that corpse, and b) thinking about tapping dat ass. This is FACT.

Whoo, I just wrote 1,500 words of the fic!! I’m officially on the last little scene, basically an epilogue! The word count is right at 27,400 words! :))) 

I just went through my ao3 inbox and came across some of the conversations we had in the comment section of your fics back in 2017 (or so) and I felt so warm and good reading those again and just wanted to drop you a line about how fond I am of those memor

This is beyond nice!! Thank you so much for taking the time to share that! I remember our interactions very well, too, and always think fondly of you when I see your username! I don’t know how wonderful I am. I do genuinely try to be an okay human most of the time, but I fall pretty damned short of what I intend the majority of the time. You have no idea how much this made my night. Thanks again, so much for this! <333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333

First time managing to write a tiny bit since a few days before my mom’s big surgery. I just need one chunk of uninterrupted time, all at once, and I’ll be able to get this thing done. I haven’t had that in the week I’ve been taking care of my mom and puppysitting or cleaning at the same time, but hopefully I’ll get a chance SOON! Fic’s at 26,000 words, probably around 4,000 or so to go??
