I'm passing on the last Snowflake challenge as I can never think of fandom resources. I mean, I use them, but can never remember any when asked.

The one for today looks like it'll need thought too, so maybe tomorrow.

I got two excellent New Year cards from romantical and solariana, so thank you very much to both of you. They were an excellent surprise.

Other than that very little has been going on. I had a nice long telephone conversation with Corey, and he ended up telling me about the new recipes he's been trying because obviously, he's done nothing out of his flat either. He suspects he won't be back at work for months yet, so I really hope the furlough scheme gets extended again.

I've been on a nostalgia kick lately, reading kat_lair's Ryan/Spencer fic, because bff Panic babies will always be my Panic pairing of choice, and also, even older nostalgia having mentioned Sentinel Angst and dues in starwatcher's journal. If you don't know, Sentinel Angst was a mailing list and to stay on it and read the messages every few months you had to write dues, which were an angsty ficlet set in The Sentinel universe. I was a very new writer then and I don't think I'd want to reread those ficlets now, but it was an excellent place to spread my wings at the time. I know Starwatcher was on there, castalie too, but anyone else? I really do think that ML and The Sentinel fandom amped up my love of h/c. I mean, obviously, it was always there, but to find that group, my people who revelled in angst and h/c. Well, that's when the h/c love took roots.
