I'm seriously thinking of signing up for hurtcomfortex But I need to study how to take part a bit more first. I've never taken part in exchanges like yuletide where you nominate etc, so it all seems a little intimidating atm.

Yesterday I wrote Umbrella Academy fic, posted it at AO3 and got over 100 kudos overnight. Talk about an exploding fandom. I also got a gentle comment reprimand that I hadn't tagged appropriately, which was completely justified and I immediately changed things and all was well. It's one thing I need to change in terms of writing now I'm moving into new fandoms. In bandom, I hardly tag at all and that has to change, especially with things like incest. But yeah, it was fun just writing after getting an idea and then posting. I did consider getting it beta read, but it was short and I self-edited a few times, so for this time didn't. Though it's not something I really like doing, so for anything longer I'll be bothering my beta.

Though looking at the UA fics today I saw someone who used the tags to say people who wrote incest were weird and gross. I have no problem with people disliking incest fic, but there's a time and place to state your opinions and that's not in tags.

Other than that, while James has been out with our nephew I've tidied the garden a little, dried two washes on the line and read lots, caught up on some comments and have written more of my h/c bingo mini challenge. I may even finish it in time. Imagine that, winning an actual challenge. Madness!

My freebie of the NME UA/Black Parade mag came today as posted here. It's a cool little thing, well worth applying for if you can.
