I DID NOT just set up a whole Notion page full of story research, inspirational fanfic quotes and yummy pictures.

No, I certainly didn't.

so that's settled, then.

this post reminded me of my own situation (the link is from 3,5 years ago, when you were not on LJ):

Oh yeah, I kind of wish I had found my way back into fandom during the pandemic. It would have been a fantastic time to snuggle in with 200.000 word epic and forget the world. Alas, in contrast to most people my work life didn't change much, it only brought more reponsibility. Add to that a very demanding and time consuming hobby ... and there I was living the same life as ever.

writing in 2020 and 2021 saved me from going crazy.

sorry to hear you had even more problems at work. :(

in the linked post, though, i was complaining about the topic 😂 and just to keep you informed (as you were not here), 2 years 8 months after that post, i am now in the process of 3rd edit of my orcs-novel 😀 so much for "put some sense it me" 😂

That's great, I meant to ask whether that actually happened. So go you!!

And no reason to be sorry, responsibility is got, it's not stress. It was just funny, everyone being like "I have so much free time, I don't know what to do with myself" and I was like: Everything's just the same, you guys!

There's no escaping fandom, even if it's been years. It always reclaims it's own. *mua hahaha* XD

But that's a nice thought. Very comforting. I'm so old and mellow now that I find the fact that there are still people writing 10th walker fics absolutely endearing instead of shockingly horrifying. I was genuinely surprised to find that this is still going on.
