Well. Hello there, again.
I feel a little like, every time I get into a routine with LJ (and writing) again, my life blows up in a way that sends me scurrying back into disarray and hiding. Clearly my real life is jealous of our relationship, LJ, and is trying to come between us.
Bastards.
Thank you very much, everyone who wished me a happy birthday. This was kind of a nonentity birthday for me this year (for obvious reasons) but I still had a really lovely day. Thank you for that.
I spent about a week in a funk of do-nothing—including writing—but this week, I've been more energetic, puttering around the house, getting my errands run, and getting some writing done.
I had an idea for a Criminal Minds AU that I may end up turning into an original story instead. As fanfic, I'm intimidated by the length; I'm just not up for another long story right now. As original fic, I'm intimidated by the necessary research since pretty much everything I know about the Bureau comes from TV. So I don't know.
Mostly, I'm just grateful to be writing anything. I thought about signing up for a
yuletide pinch hit, since I had to so ignobly back out, but I think it's a pipe dream; I'm feeling too shaky about my ability to produce on demand and I can't face bailing twice, especially this close to the deadline. So.
Thinking about January or February, I've still got that JDM ficathon thing I proposed a couple months ago. Which leads me to present the question to the electorate: what kind of ficathon do y'all want?
Option 1: a straight fic exchange where you make a request and you fulfill a request.
Option 2: a prompt based 'thon, where people make prompts and participants pick the prompt they want, on a first-come, first-served basis.
Option 3: free-for-all. Everyone writes whatever they want, as long as JDM is a major character.

I am interested in writing for the JDM Ficathon.
Which ficathon option do you like best?
