I realised today that new eps of Leverage Redemption have been released. I know what I'll be watching later.

Today I also saw that both holiday_wishes and fandomtrees are up and running again. They're both fantastic communities and I'm considering signing for trees. I may as well try and keep hold of this newly discovered want to write and if I'm asking for myself I'll want to gift too. So yes, go check them both out if you have your own wishes, fannish or not.

I'm just about finished the edits on what I'm now calling the mini wrimo collection, which sounds much grander than it actually is. Now I just how to remind myself how to post to A03 and when I do, two Musketeer and two bandom ficlets will be going up.

ETA: I really am out of practice, not only did I forget I'd need titles, but also managed to paste the draft of this post in the story body not once but twice.

Talking of. Mini wrimo is still going well, I've made my target every day and I've even added more to my Musketeers space story. I was saying earlier in comments to someone it's a bit niche in a small fandom, but reading the file over I actually like it a lot still. Of course, I'm writing to my own tastes so that's not a surprise.

James' work has its own doctor and he had a meeting with her today

He phoned afterwards and apparently, it went well. She stressed and made note that he has to have at least twenty minutes for comfort breaks, so if any of the team leaders get on his back again for taking too long they'll be pulled up about it. Not that he messes about on purpose, but obviously he'll never be able to just nip in and out. She's also strongly recommended that when home working is available he's top of the list to get it. Even two days out of four would help a lot, especially when he's not feeling his best and up to a 45-minute journey to work.

She also noted his AMC is degenerative and the majority of the issues he's having can be linked to that, meaning he's covered by the disability act if they get funny about the time he's been off. So all in all it was positive.

He also took in an order of two chocolate orange snowmen this morning and got another five orders when people saw them. I can see a lot of base painting in my future.

Do you mean fandomtrees?

[turps]

Yes I do, thank you for catching that.

Going to change now.

Ooohhh, fandomtrees! I might have to put together a tree as well. Hope springs eternal I'll get a Seblaine ficlet one of these days. *g* Thankfully I have more popular fandom pairings too, I guess. Ahaha.

Glad James' meeting went well! That does sound like an ideal situation. Hopefully WFH comes about and works better than last time.

You never know what could happen, there could be a random Seblaine fan just waiting to write a holiday fic for you. They may be bursting to find the perfect person who wants to read about Sebastian bumping off Kurt -- maybe via a tasteful purple silk scarf strangulation method -- and then comforting Blaine in his grief. Not that Blaine is actually upset as -- plot twist! -- he'd actually hired a serial killer to kill Kurt, but Sebastian got there first.

The perfect holiday gift :D

It does sound like a very good meeting, and the work-from-home would be great for him, at least some days. He's too sociable for every day. You're right about last time though, that was a total cluster fuck.

EVIL, I LOVE IT!!

It would certainly entertain me during the holidays. *g*

Fingers crossed!

I just discovered Leverage: Redemption, too! I was DL'ing Andor and scrolled back to see what else I'd missed over the past few days and I was like o_Oo_O So happy about it.

Thanks for mentioning holiday_wishes and fandomtrees!

I'm glad that the doctor at his work is behind James 100%. *sending positive vibes* for the WFH.

It was such a lovely surprise when I saw the new eps. It had completely passed me by that some had already been released.

You're welcome. I need to seriously think about joining one or both.

The doctor was apparently really lovely, which is always a plus. The WFH would be such an asset for him. It was before I friended you but they actually installed a high-speed second phone line to our house and sent a desk and chair ready for him to WFH years ago, then decided to scrap the scheme. We've still got the desk, though Corey took the chair away with him to uni.

I 'knew' as I'd included the trailer in one of my M[F]M posts, but I completely forgot about it so it was a nice surprise to see it on the comm.

That's a plus, that they've already taken some of the necessary steps. No sense ~not using them. *g*

Ooh, thanks for the community links. It'll be interesting to see if anyone wishes for anything I'm equipped to give.

Three cheers for writing and also for posting!!

And I'm glad the work doctor is looking out for James's requirements and will back them up.

Also it's very cool that he's got customers lining up for his (and your!) work!

You're welcome for the community links. Though I totally flaked on joining on time.

And I'm glad the work doctor is looking out for James's requirements and will back them up.

The doctor was so good with James, and was interested in what would help, which is a big thing.

[turlough]

I'll keep my fingers crossed you'll manage to hang on to your writing mojo!

Titles really seem to be a perennial problem for writers! Good luck coming up with catching ones.

James' work doctor sounds great! It must be a great relief to have her backing him.

Have fun painting!

Sadly I lost my writing streak over the weekend, but will try again later. I may not win mini wrimo but it's pointless giving up.

James' work doctor is excellent. She also grasped the point why fastening buttons etc takes so long for him, therefore stressing the 20 mins at least.

I got my trees done but I can't say I'm a painting expert *g*
