This journal is being moved to DW as an archive. I've already been posting there for some time under a different username. This one has such a history; I'm sad to let it go. The words I wrote and received will remain in some form, but the connection with LJ as a hub, as a network, as a home, will be severed once and for all. My fandom life doesn't ( Read more... )

I have completed my week of fic one day ahead of schedule :D (although it will be a rolling thing, and I will probably start thinking of it in terms of normal weeks)

Also, that's over 5,000 words, which is a fantastic output for me.
