turpsWell, the MTYG reveals are up and I can reveal I wrote To Turn to Dust or to Gold for ephemera, which was a big task because she's such a lovely amazing lady and we've been friends for a very long time. Also, it was the first time in forever that I'd written a full length popslash story.
I have to admit I cheated a little as I read A's post about wanting a post apoc library, and got inspiration from there. Now, I have to say here that the story probably isn't what A was imagining. I'm sure her idea was much more serious, while mine had unicorns with sparkling hooves, and Pink getting involved with Kelly and Lance as a tech over-ruler who people both respected and friendly mocked, and tech that kept failing and electrocuting people, Justin repeatedly falling off a donkey and JC nearly dying trying to bring a copy of the Karma Sutra back to the library, and a total lack of anything beyond casual touches between Chris and Joey to show they were actually together.
But it was a lot of fun to write, and if I hadn't contained myself it could have sprawled to many, many more thousands of words. Huge thanks go topensnest and nopseud who helped me beat it into shape. And yet again I was in a gifting circle with my recipient. It was a lovely exchange season that way.
Which leads me nicely to, it was Ephemera who wrote my cat cafe story. I knew it was someone who knew me as it was so tailored to my tastes, but I had no clue who. Thank you again, A ♥
Catching up on Snowflake, though it's a very quick catch-up as I have no actual content to include.
Day 5: Recommend a fannish or creative reasource
I'm coming up empty for this one and have been since I first saw the prompt. I mean, I'm sure I have something to share but I can't think of anything right now. So I'll have to pass.
Day 6: Leave feedback for a fanwork
That's something I always do anyway so I'm classing this as done, too.
