There are about 50* fics that I want to write, but since I have about 50 other, unrelated things to do, on a fairly tight schedule, I doubt I'll find time to write one or two of these ideas. Maybe.

*not actually 50.

My final five were:

Pennington Wise - Carolyn Wells
Girl Scouts Series - Margaret Vandercook
The Four Corners Series - Amy Ella Blanchard
Brooklyn Dodgers Series - John R. Tunis
Callendar Family Series - John Verney

So three from the long list and 2 that I thought of after. But I have nommed and placed these in the spreadsheet so I would have to make changes in several places if I change my mind.

Fun fact about my noms, the number of books in each series goes as follows:
8,5,8,8,5 (hey, at least I avoided the 20+ book series I'm prone to nominate).

Also L'shana tova | Happy New Year to all who celebrate. I'm going to try to get a general update post up sometime in the next week (new year's resolution).

my hands still really hurt, so i'll try to keep this entry short.

however, i finished my fic archive! i'm really happy with how it came out. i need to tweak a few things that have errors, but other than that it's in good shape. fic writing has always been part of fandom for me but not something i've really talked about on my websites until recently, so this is a little weird for me to make, but: in a web that's increasingly narrow, i think it's important to carve out little spaces like this.

also, i like writing behind-the-scenes content for fics, so there's that.

other than that, my hands have been in terrible shape so i've been offline a lot to rest. watched several movies over the past week, of varying quality, but nothing standout. i should really start on one of those shows that's been on my to-watch list while i'm icing my hands, but i haven't gotten around to it yet.

my brother's wedding is in two weeks! i am not in the wedding (thank god) but of course i'll be going. while stressful, i think i am looking forward to it; he's the first of my siblings to have a big wedding so it'll be an experience for sure.

that's all for now. on to next week!

There is a poll going around tumblr right now asking whether or not people change their underwear every day. This has turned into a shockingly divisive question.

I have concerns about the several people insisting that asking people to change their underwear every day is classism because poor people don't have enough underwear for a week.

Also concerned for the people who insist they can't have clean underwear every day because they can't do that much laundry. Having been in the position of not having enough underwear before, you can wash it in the sink. I've washed lots of underwear in the sink over the course of my life.

I will be leaving tumblr alone until this blows over because some folks are gross.

late post again because my hands have been killing me. it turns out playing too much videogames is bad for you. oops.

anyway, i've been taking it easy the past few days to let my hands rest. mostly i've been doing a lot of reading! i reread The Tainted Cup by Robert Jackson Bennett, my favorite book from last year, so i could go into the sequel A Drop of Corruption fresh. both books were excellent; strong recommend.

then, in a desire to read something totally different, i picked up The Serpent and the Wings of Night and read it in like a day or two, lol. i'm halfway through the sequel now and honestly, it's a lot of fun. i love goofy romantasy.

i've been in a reading slump for most of the year — i kept picking up books and DNFing them for one reason or another, so it's nice to be on a little streak now. i'll probably stick with the crowns of nyaxia series for a little while since i'm having a good time with them, but after that, who knows. maybe sci fi.

in writing news, i have hit my getyourwordsout goal for the year of writing for 180 days! about 160 of them have been consecutive; i haven't missed a writing day since the start of april. it's been really nice to consistently write again, although i have been pretty lazy about what i've been writing. i'm hoping to switch gears and work on a new original project soon.

in gaming news, i've been doing roulettes for my new relic in ff14, a bit of crafting, and some leveling of yet another alt. i've made some progress doing work for my fic archive as well; the content is nearly finished, so soon it'll just be time to code. i've sort of been putting it off, but i'd like to get it done this month.

i think that's it for now. on to next week!

Is this thing still on?

I fell badly out of the habit of posting here, but I miss it, so this seems like a good way to break the ice.

As usual, I have come up with way too many fandoms with no fic on the archive. Some have tags due to us importing the tagset the first year, but no fic. Some haven't even managed that. It seems like every year I discover a few new fandoms that would have had a fandom if fandom had existed at the time of release the way it does now.

So here is a list in no particular order with no details. If anyone is still reading this, you can give me a number request and I'll write a small blurb. I'm not expecting the fandoms to be recognized except from previous noms of mine, but I'm hoping the act of writing blurbs will help me narrow it down.

ETA: What will probably happen (because it always happens) is that I'll nominate a bunch of fandoms no one knows and end up signing up with half those and half things other people nom, just to make myself matchable (and usually there's something I hadn't even thought of that I would have nominated myself).

Quick ethics question.

I'm looking into getting some wax seals for ttrpg reasons.

It's very evident that everyone is getting the same set of seals from somewhere. The majority of shops are carrying the exact same seals.

Do I pay etsy boutique prices or is this a circumstance buying off aliexpress or amazon or temu is cool? Some folks on etsy are asking for $40 for just the brass part without the handle and the exact same stamp with the exact same pictures are going for $8 on other listings.

(I am aware of an ongoing amazon boycott. I order things off amazon once every few months and they are usually things I can't find in person.)

edit: I guess the question is: At what point of a thing being stolen can I absolve myself of trying to find the original creator and buy what's best for my pocketbook?
