So I came back from London, cheered on some friends in the local 10K/Marathon and got my flu shot. And then clearly had a cold working on me before I got my vaccination because what I thought was a surprisingly strong reaction to the vaccine (normally I just a bit tired and stuffy nosed for a couple of days afterwards) turned out to be a stinker of a cold. And once I was better from that it was full on Mod season and then everything just kind of got away from me? (I did my first Radio OB by myself this weekend, and I got the 80/20 placement with Archiving I've been campaigning for the last six months to get. Achievements, but ye gods I'm tired.) I'm definitely not going to make my target of having more words at the start of this November than I had at the end of last November. I've a couple of things almost finished that I might get in before the end of the month but that's probably 2000 words at the outside and I'd need to write at least another 4000 words on top of that so I doubt it. I'll still be starting November with 6000 words more than I started last November with even if I don't write a single countable word between now and then so, that's something at least.
In somewhat related news, I'm now 2 for 2 on picking up pinch hits for movie fandoms and stress writing 5000+ word fills for them. Oddly this one was for
aspecex but as the prompts were all on the aromantic end of spectrum - sex and sexuality as performance, platonic kink, sex as a tool stuff - it has problably more sex in it than I normally write? (The Craig!Bond films go really hard on both the idea of Bond performing his persona and also his desperate need to belong to someone. I rewatched Skyfall for this, or so I thought, actually after the first hour I remembered none of the plot so I think I might only have seen the first half of the film - maybe I fell asleep watching it one Xmas? Anyway, this film was absolutley made for the prompts I was writing to.) I had a lot of fun writing this one, though it has reminded me of the meme in Doctor Who fandom back in the day of Bond as timelord, and now I kinda want to write it.
