I had one of the best experiences a fanfic writer can have the other day: someone read one of my fics on AO3, liked it, commented on it, then promptly went off to read a bunch of my other fics on AO3 and comment on them as well. Obviously that only happens when the reader and I have tastes in common, and indeed, in one of their comments they ( Read more... )

Saw the new Doctor Who trailer and was getting all excited -- more of Thirteen, and she's a woman! -- and then I made the mistake of listening to someone's analysis of the trailer, and got reminded that the new showrunner is Chris Chibnall ( Read more... )

I have finished posting my oldest WIP, and it is now a complete work! I am feeling super-accomplished, and thinking that I really should get back to writing more fanfic. Maybe I'll even try to tackle my next-oldest WIP, "Turn Again," which is only . . . (checks Teaspoon) . . . nine years old ( Read more... )

I can hardly believe it, but I have FINISHED my oldest, and longest, WIP ( Read more... )

The deadline for the Be the First challenge is tomorrow, and I have a ficlet that is almost ready to post, but I am now all insecure about the fact that it's not nearly good enough or long enough to be the very first fanfic to ever be posted for this fandom. The challenge itself is totally open -- any genre, any fic length -- but I am feeling all ( Read more... )

I have caught up with "Timeless" season 2, and wow! This show is back, and with a vengeance!

I have signed up for the btfchallenge writing challenge, which stands for "Be the First," and I am going to write the very first fic for QuarkI still can't believe that there is no fic for this fandom at all, but I haven't been able to find any. I don't consider it that obscure of a TV show, but apparently it is? Anyway, I'm really looking forward to writing ( Read more... )

My most recent Yuletide fic, Janet@12358W (Status = Happy), is now officially my most popular fic on AO3. I do think it's a good fic, but I don't believe it's the best thing I've ever written. I don't even believe it's the best thing I've written for Yuletide. The comments and kudos mostly exist because the fandom, "The Good Place," was a ( Read more... )

I ended up writing The Good Place for Yuletide, an interesting experience because it's the first time I've ever written for a big-for-Yuletide fandom. Although truthfully, given the odds, I wasn't surprised to be matched on it, and I was only surprised that I didn't also receive it for Yuletide. But instead I got wonderful Sarah Jane Adventures ( Read more... )

There is only one Sarah Jane Adventures fic in Yuletide this year, but it is for ME (for me, for me, for me!) and it is absolutely wonderful:
