Fanfic Trello

* I reworked that one fic and posted it. Now compliant with actual canon and not the rumor mill!

* Overall I started 7 BG3 WIPS. I finished, polished and posted two of then so far. Both are here, Tav/Astarion.

* I have another that is basically two characters bantering and I am debating what to do. I used to just post random banter online, not as finished fics. But then I found out that people were scooping up my bantering a posting it to AO3 with just a few sentences at the start and end to 'finish it' into a story. Since other people got all kinds of kudos for my banters, I'd like some to actually go to me. But, do I just post and Ao3? Post to tumblr and see what happens? Try to make it into more of a story? It's not shippy so it might not get seen on Ao3... just putting it on tumblr as an experiment might be my best bet.

* In September I need to focus on Stranger Things fics again! Someone started a SThings writer's guild discord and hopefully that will be fun.

* Progress on my original projects is, uh.... oops

Brain Full...

* So I saw that Strange Aeons said she was doing a video on Hobbit fandom, then woke up the next day to a 2 hour Bit of Earth video and man, that was a lot. It's good to have people like her doing videos on this stuff, especially since kinning has been making such a resurgence in fandom.

* Someone who does D&D lore videos decided that Githyanki are meant to be a reference to Americans... for reasons that only make sense if you mix up the two sides in our civil war and fail to understand the difference in how British people use the term Yankee and how Americans use the term Yankee. And I say this as a Yankee, because I am from New England and by and in large only we call ourselves Yankees. I grew up calling New England culture and art and craft styles Yankee. I am very annoyed about this. Some people need to focus more on research and less on 'cracking the code'.

* I already knew a bunch about the Gith going into BG3, but a good lore video would be nice.

* One day I am going to crack and make a podcast no one will ever listen to where I go on about things. It will be things no one cares about, but it will be well researched.

* Glimpses of blue sky are nice.

(no subject)

* "ALERT: US Copyright Office wants to hear what people think about AI and copyright"Link to tweet about it This is important. It needs to get flooded with the opinions of actual people, the people who make stuff.

* Ao3 keeps going down. What am I supposed to do, actually work on writing?

* I am exhausted. I kept feeling tired, and then realized I was definitely sick. I'm over the worst of it, but still trying to bounce back. I just feel caught in a grey sludge of 'where did day go?'
