Driveby Scribbler Update

My computer is heading into the shop tomorrow or the day after. Got to gather up the requisite peripherals and take it down there.

I'm head-banging on an Avengers/Ella Enchanted fusion due to logistical issues with the genders of the characters and how badly do I want to destroy certain points of either canon to get a result I like and my giftee will probably like. A kindly fellow Avengers writer agreed to bounce it back and forth this weekend and iron out the kinks.

I haven't forgotten the last December fic requests/questions for in_the_blue, lithiumlaughter, and morbane. That's after the fusion.

I signed up for space_swap because I read hiddencait's letter and don't know what's good for me. At all. (Eh. The word count and assignment due [months out] is totally doable. I don't know why I think I'm crazy.)

I'm scrounging around on my work computer to see if I can find a decent backup of what I got going on my home computer (that's out of commission) for my remix/WIP project I'd originally intended to do between Yuletide and the end of my Christmas vacation. So far, no dice. The recipient said she's okay with me waiting until my computer's back from the shop, but I feel guilty. :hangs head:

trovia's belated birthday present got rolled into a previously owed story and is going to be epically longer and more involved than I'd originally planned. Nevertheless, methinks she'll like it. in_the_blue may be less thrilled when said epic lands on her inbox doorstep for a beta, but that's at least a couple weeks away. At least.

After all that, I'd like to get back to normal and update things like "Call Me Phil" and "Son o' de Guild" and get back to writing more original fic. I've started writing poetry daily again and will try to start squeezing in original drabbles.

I'm way behind on bookmarking and crossposting for comment_fic, but I did crosspost a handful today, so yay that.

Love you all! Hope 2015 has been lovely thus far!

Yuletide Rec: the treat I never saw coming

I forgot to rec this and feel remiss!

So I expressed offhand in a Yuletide thread that I wished more than one of my fandoms had gotten fic written for it, and morbane wrote me this beautiful little treat for the Yuletide NYR collection.
