A few encouraging fannish things!

[xparrot]

undeadrobins is hosting a pan-fandom Kissathon -- gen/platonic as well as ships; stop by and leave a prompt or a fill!

The inaugural Kissathon!

I just posted a fill - WeiLan, naturally, to her lovely prompt "a surefire way of stopping an argument"

Still blocked; efforts at writing every day have been encouraged by sakana17 hosting this month's appropriately named Write Every Day event. ...Which I haven't actually gotten up the whatever to check in on, since I've mostly only been managing a couple hundred words. But seeing the daily check-in posts has been inspiring, and it means by the end of the week I find myself with a thousand-odd words that I didn't have before; I'll take it!

And also! naye, who last month posted a podfic of my completely ridiculous Guardian fic Out of Focus, just followed it up with a podfic of the sequel Focus Pull. Which is even more ridiculous and also over 20K -- the podfic is 2.5 hours long, guys!!! -- and is one of the most fluffily self-indulgent things I've ever written and I kind of love it too much, and I love the podfic way way too much. It's beautiful and perfect and her drunk!Shen Wei voice is amazing and hilariously adorable. Go listen and tell naye she is brilliant and also completely nuts!

So it turns out I will start writing every day tomorrow... today I did some ironing though? Argh. ;-) (Also I had another story idea. It's like I'm trolling myself!)

Maybe we can do some kind of very low-key not-quite-a-challenge for those of us who could use a bit of an external kick/deadline, but a very light one? Perhaps something to encourage us on those fic we've already started, or have been meaning to

Oooh, that sounds like an excellent idea! Just something like a slightly more goal-oriented writing every day? With low-pressure check-ins, like a virtual writing group... *ponders*
