I guess I can announce over here now that I wrote Frank/Gerard/Jamia domestic threesomes at the beach with a little D/s for seasoning because it's me. It's called By the sea.

Great challenge this year (as always!). There are still a bunch of stories I'm planning to read, so far they're a lot of fun. I might pick up a homeless spare prompt? We'll see...I still have my whole kink bingo card to work on plus lots of original-y things.

On that note, I went to an erotic writing workshop at the local sex-positive woman-owned sex shop! It was...okay. Super ultra beginner, so it wasn't quite right for me, but it was nice to do it in public, y'know? Plus we did a number of writing exercises that could potentially expand into longer stories, so we'll keep our fingers crossed.

Otherwise, LIFE. Maybe I'll give a full update another time, but mostly things are just...life-y. I sort of have a social life, which is still mystifying. I've been reading and watching the fall season start up (Definitely Watching: HIMYM, Sleepy Hollow, Agents of SHIELD).

I posted my BBB!

ever just the same (ever a surprise)
Frank/Gerard, 20,832 words, explicit

As the only charm weaver in his small village, Gerard has lead a quiet but productive life. All of that changes when he crosses the path of a dark fae with royal ambitions. A fairy tale with wicked witches, magic, and (of course) true love.

So I was gonna post and then stuff kept HAPPENING and...yeah. Here I am now so buckle your seatbelts.

1. I got a new job! I saw the posting and was like "that is so me" and it was the only job I applied for and...I got it :) It's a marketing assistant gig with Milwaukee's tourism bureau. I'm really excited - I start next Monday. It takes the place of temp job, I'll still be at the magazine; also, I realized that this will be the first time in my life that I'll be working permanent full time. At two different places, sure, but...it's a nice thought! Hopefully it goes well.

2. Madison: I went to visit a dear college roomie at her new home in Madison! While I was there, I got to meet were_duck (woo!), drink butterbeers, watch AVPSY, and laugh a lot. It's going to be so nice to have friends so close (she used to live 5+ hours away).

3. Cross stitch: I did my first cross stitch project! I posted about it a lot on instagram. It was a lot of fun and pretty quick...I enjoyed it, I definitely will plan on doing another one.

4. MCR. Yeah. I'm...okay? I was really upset the night it happened, but things have settled some. All the guys are still here, all the music is still here. And Gerard has helped the okay-feeling by being an absolute doll on Twitter all week. ♥ I'm still planning on writing everything I wanted to write.

5. Submission: I submitted a piece to an anthology of queer Shakespeare-inspired erotica! Fingers crossed :) If it doesn't get in, I'll probably put it on AO3.

anddd...that's about it, I guess! I've been having vague thoughts about tattoos lately, but nothing solid. Easter was very nice, good family time. And this Thursday will be my last day at temp job! Crazy to think I'e been there for over a year, longest I've ever worked somewhere.

I'm on the words & deeds love meme here! :D?

Otherwise...what's new? I got bangs. My fandom burned down around my ears. I've pretty much said/ranted all I had to say already so basically I'm left with: RPF WILL BREAK YOUR HEART. No, rly, it's upsetting, and I'm curious about what happens next, but even though this dude has a lot in common with the guy I like stories about, they aren't the same person, so. I'm not rushing off to write an epic fic with him and may not feel comfortable writing pairing/POV fic for him for a long time, but I'm still able to read, which is nice, at least.

I'm having a good time at the magazine, decided not to apply for the permanent position my temp law firm job made for me. I don't know what I'll do with the other half of my time yet, which is both exciting and terrifying. I've been really tired. I don't know. It's probably partially the cold/winter, but I'm sad. I want to write more but it's hard. I'll keep on truckin'. If anyone has suggestions for trope_bingo (my card is like...two posts back? I don't post much /o\) my ears are open!

Guess whooooo signed up for Trope Bingo? (spoiler: it's me)

I am in looove with my card. It's been such a long time since I wrote proper fic, I'm excited to get back in the saddle :D Now I have to decide if I want to do all one fandom or jump around orrrrr what.

(Happy New Year, all! Mine was awesome, as was my Christmas! It was a pretty great end-of-the-year all around)
