Fannish Friday
Jun. 14th, 2024 04:44 pmHappy Friday!
Writing this week went well. Partly, I must be conscious in telling myself that—the longer I have this hobby, the more I come to recognize the continual adjustment of expectations inherent in it. This week I wrote around two thousand words of fic, and in my journal, a few thousand more words of planning notes for various fics. This is not what my writing used to look like. It used to be more straightforwardly words on the page, which would all eventually get published ±revisions.
But I have tentatively finished the Tibby/Cecil fic. I’ve only just written the ending, and I need to reread and edit that, and also reread and edit the whole thing. Writing for Good Literature has that effect on me. I mean, I’d reread anything before posting at least once, to catch typos at a minimum, but I put more pressure on myself to pick through my phrasing and themes when the original novel was thoughtful in that way. Perhaps I need to write some PWP to loosen back up a bit!
I put in my RMSE slate, though I need to write prompts for the new fandoms and consider whether to add one or two more requests. This is a tagset where I could easily max out both my offer and request slots! Truly amazing selection of ships, and I’m not even the nominator for all of them. :D I can tell I will have a fun time revisiting the signups page over the coming week.
