ranaloreYesterday, I wrote a draft of my ![[community profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png)
nuna_fanworks fic exchange story, but I decided I wasn't quite satisfied with how it met my prompt(s), so I started over. I guess that means I have an extra in case someone needs a pinch hit that matches the pairing (OT5 is axiomatic, but that don't mean it's always explicit), provided I manage to finish the new draft. Possibly I will, though the current scene is frustrating me.
After losing all the in-progress files for updating my website in the External Hard Drive Crash of Aught Nine, I have even less motivation than usual to continue the project (also, I would have to comb back through my LJ to see which stories I don't still have on the list as needing to be coded, but that aren't already on the site, and then comb through the site looking for the files I was fixing while updating, and in short, I am the bad example and object lesson of why you should not do huge updates about once a year instead of little updates every few months, and let that be a lesson to you all). I have pondered creating a Fic Master List in my DW account as a temporary fix while I pep talk myself into getting back on the wagon to update the site, but that would be even more extra work, and extra work and me are clearly unmixy things. Also, not all of my stories were ever on my LJ, to be imported to my DW, and I'd have to decide if I wanted to do backdated posts to get them in there, or just point people at the site as it stands and say, "Older stories can be found here." Thoughts? Y'all are the ones who have to use whatever system I come up with; I just write the things.
Somebody (not me, and notmusesfool, since she gave us Remix Redux and is sort of set for Contributing to Fandom for life) should look into creating a Dark Angel fic exchange. I'd so totally be on board for that, not least because it would give me something to trick my brain into finishing some of these WsIP. Of course, it would only work if I could specify the characters and pairings I will and won't write, because I don't write Ames White at all (okay, look, he is not even creepily fascinating when you spent most of your life going to church with hundreds of his pod buddies, got it? And I have Opinions about his popularity in the fandom and what it says about unexamined racism and misogyny, but that's a rant I'll save for when I'm feeling like blowing things up), and I do not write Logan having sex. Ever. With anyone. So yeah, if you can specify characters and pairings to offer, that should happen.
Is it Yuletide yet?
How about now?
Now?
