All of these are crossposted to Ao3 as well, but I am a lazy butt who is too lazy to provide links right now. (The RPF is locked on Ao3 and I'd appreciate the links not getting crossposted [or--if they have to be--anonym.to/? is your friend] because I still feel kinda skeevy I'm writing RPF. The solution would be to /not/ write any RPF, but I think we can all see how /well/ that is going.)

We'll see if I can get anything more written, but between this cold that is threatening to engulf me and suddenly! papers to write, am not holding out too much hope.

Happy Valentine's Day/Normal Friday or it was when I started writing out this thing.

I failed so spectacularly during round 2--well, I got in two fics, which is above & beyond for me, so shall try it again for another round (it also helps that the bingo has become annual rather than biannual).

I am somewhat oddly proud of this fic? Because the first several attempts at it (at both the Reichenbach interpretation and the crossover) did not go over too well. I did not cry writing it because, of course, Sherlock is not dead. Joan (along with everybody else) just thinks he is.

I am not at all caught up with Elementary though and I got spoiled on some of the episodes looking at Castle/Elementary gifsets on Tumblr (OOOOOOMGGG SOMETHING HORRIBLE HAPPENS TO [CHARACTER] AHHHHH MY PRECIOUS BABBBBBY)

I do have some more plans for this crossover, but we shall see if they materialize.

I can finally talk about the Troublesfest story I wrote for blackeyedgirl since stories were revealed yesterday.

I really liked my assignment! And I love writing gift fics. And why I wish this story was longer and better and...Well, it did go over the requisite 1k words, but I'm still not happy with it. I think it featured waaaaaay too much exposition and telling, not showing and ughhh. I had the perfect story in my head. While flopping on what to write, I finally decided on showing something about Audrey's, Duke's, and Nathan's relationship which I really love. And I really want this threesome to be canon like no threesome ship I've ever shipped before. I just really love both Duke/Audrey together and Audrey/Nathan together and Duke/Nathan together.

The Duke/Nathan fic though--which I've tentatively titled 'there are no words, there is only you'--is still chugging along. I really want to finish it before the end of this month, but, eh, we'll see. *thinks about the pile of reading for school I should be doing right at this moment & the amount of writing I want to do and it's enough to make my head explode*

In more personal, real life news, we have a cousin coming from Serbia this Friday and both my Aunt J (who this cousin is staying with while she's in America) and my mom are going crazy, trying to get their houses ready. Mom yesterday tore up the rugs in the kitchen, scrubbed the floors clean, brought new rugs and then set up the bigger entertainment system Aunt J threw away and gave to us alongside our older, albeit smaller entertainment system.

I'm like, wheeeeeeee! Yes, cleaner carpets~!!! New bigger entertainment system!!! Is it Christmas already?! (We've had the old carpets since we moved here somewhere around when I was in the fifth grade i.e. 2001 so it was about time.) My dad, otoh, who was standing around, helping when Mom needed to move something, went, "Why all this fuss? She's not staying with us, we're only going to be entertaining her when J is at work."

My mom's reply was something along the lines of how everything over there is much cleaner and we'll be judged if we don't do something.

So there was that.

It just brings to mind that, if I ever have my own place (ha! do I have big dreams) and if my mother, and/or any other family member, ever comes for a visit (assuming I don't live a block away by then), I'll have to tear up my whole place and clean it from the ground up.

The point being, I *don't* enjoy living in a pigsty and I love when everything is clean and has that shiny, new look but I just don't want to do the work to entail that cleanliness. Why does life have to be so hard?

So what I've learned is that writing porn gets me over my writer's block (that Ouat/Pushing Daisies gen story was something I've been ruminating about for a while now and as such is an outlier). I don't know if this will always work, but seems to be doing the trick so far.

Omg, this thing is finally posted! I'd been working on it since I signed up for cottoncandy_bingo in August. It's a short piece, but I had no idea where I was going with it so 'm glad that it finally took a cohesive shape even if nothing much happens, but is more of a slice-of-life piece.

comments @ DW

( card behind the cut )

So I went and signed up for cottoncandy_bingo on DW; I might regret it since school is starting up again for me this coming Tuesday and I will not have any brain function for anything creative whatsoever but well...we'll see.

And schmoop_bingo is kinda dead now and I've missed it because it was the perfect kind of bingo for me. But cottoncandy_bingo seems to be the same kind of bingo so I'll take it.

I went to try out Dobra Tea yesterday afternoon and it's definitely my kinda place. I ended up ordering rose tea and something called Pita Jerusalem to try out for the first time (because they were vaguely familiar - unlike half of the teas, which I couldn't begin to pronounce, but maybe next time! The pita from my home country is often salty however and it was awesome trying a pita that was considered a dessert). They give you a menu the size of a book - A BOOK - and give you a little bell when you're ready to order. Seriously. I felt so fancy. (Clearly anyone who drinks tea is fancy to me - I dunno. I should get out more, I know, I know.)

Before that, I spent an hour in the comics store (the comics store and the tea store are right next door to each other which is awesome). I got Before Watchmen: Silk Spectre even though I'm not familiar with the Watchmen comics at all (or movie for that matter, or the Alan Moore controversy but now that I know about it, I feel kinda bad for buying it). Like I just brought it because of the very awesome art - seriously just look at that cover. Also acquired Spider-Men #1 and nine back issues of X-Factor. 

And I just realized that it's been like two whole years since I've written anything for 100_women and I feel bad about this. (I tried to rectify it yesterday and thought I'd write something Lydia from Teen Wolf-centric about wings but it ended up being a totally different kind of fic? No mention of any wings - literal or metaphorical - unfortunately. Ah well maybe some other time.)
