Adulting Post Dec 2018

Life:

Last week was kind of a lot. Much adulting between getting new tires on my car and picking insurance, and working... a lot.

I still need to send in my registration for the car, clean the house a bit, and get my shit together before I head off to visit the fam for Christmas. However, I do have my shopping mostly done, apart from some extra chocolate for the kiddies, and a gift card for my sister's birthday (which I will get when I get there bc the place is local).

I always miss my family, but going home still makes me anxious.

I might try to get to the mall tomorrow. I need a few shirts and a coat, if I can find one.

Fandom:

These days, I'm bouncing around in Venture Bros fandom, which is small but spirited. I'm in too deep. I'm ficcing a longish AU that I'm enjoying but um... I don't know why I felt so compelled to write so much about this, other than to bring out all these loose threads and put onscreen the narrative of characters who were mostly relegated to OFF this season.

Created a Discord, too: https://discord.gg/jUwFTP6

I'm also into Legacies (kinda) and Charmed (LOTS), She-Ra (OMG), and watching The Haunting of Hill House over and over. I just started Killing Eve... Honestly, anything with Sandra Oh. I'll be pounding Black Lightning as soon as I can find the eps I missed at the beginning of the season.

I kind of need to be working on my Secret Santa fic. Why is it so hard to write when I need to be doing it?

Current Mood: curious

Ahhh

The new Charmed is killing me. So many secrets, so many cliffhangers. Mel might have two love interests in the long run, Niko and the Sarcana chick. Maggie is dating a half-demon.

What was their mother's role in the Sarcana? What do the demon bros want? Can we trust the Council? AHHHH

I'm so glad they got picked up for the rest of the season.

Current Mood: leave us alone

I'm In Too Deep

I've ordered the rest of the ASOUE books from Thriftbooks.

I was trying to decide if I wanted the new covers, but I cannot wait until June to read them.

Addiction. Maybe I'll give the shiny new cover versions to my nieces and nephews.

Hi, Writers

There's an upcoming class with the Maryland Romance Writers association:

Beyond 50 Shades: Going From Fanfiction To Original Fiction

This one isn't my class, but I've written with the author, and she has years of experience as a plot doctor. The class will start out talking about legal stuff and move into a workshop.

Please give it a look or share with people you think might be interested in crossing over?

I've been pretty bad about updating here, and now my fanfic is scattered all over the place.

I'll slowly be trying to move things over to AO3, and until then, I'll leave up the indexes to LJ fic before I lock everything down there.

FIC: Be Positive, Part Four

Title: Be Positive

Pairing: Kurt/Blaine past relationship, Kurt/OCs, Kurt/Adam (main)

Warning: HIV plot. Hints of depression in later chapters.

Summary: As Kurt slowly tries to piece himself back together after the break-up, he and Adam circle around one another in New York without truly meeting. When Kurt comes home for Christmas, a prank and poor bookkeeping result in Kurt getting the shock of his life.

Then, he runs into Adam at NYADA.

AN: Shit doesn’t hit the fan until the next part.

FIC: Be Positive, Part One

Title: Be Positive

Pairing: Kurt/Blaine past relationship, Kurt/OCs, Kurt/Adam (main)

Warning: HIV plot. Hints of depression in later chapters. I imagine this to be sensitive for some, and I have no intention of being appropriative. Also, sorry for the incredibly long build up. I had to put a lot of pieces into place before starting.

AN: I'll try to update every few weeks. I might not start posting this at all, if I don't get it going.

Warning: potential assault triggers, character death
Summary: Kurt and Adam come back to Lima, hoping to find Kurt's family alive.

AN: Takes place roughly around 4.21, but completely and horrifyingly AU. I’m evil... I think those of you who read me regularly know that. When I do this 'verse for real, I probably won't try to work this bit in, but I dunno. I AM terrible, so.

Not Blaine-friendly. Apocafic.
