Here's a list of all my fanfic. I think.

Okay, let's get back into the habit, eh? Although I should maybe have got back into the habit of actually writing stuff first. Still, I've done it with only two fics before, and at least gestured vaguely at it with one and zero, so here we go:

I'm not signed up for Yuletide this year. However, I came much closer to signing up for Yuletide than I ever have before!

Admittedly, this is a very low bar to clear, and would be adequetely covered by "remembering I was going to". But I also finally got round to looking up how it actually works, looked through the list of fandoms, chose three I'd like fic of and four I thought I could write, and even filled in most of the form.

...unfortunately, I did all of this yesterday, having immediately discovered that the closing date was today (9:00 UST), and in between a lot of other stressy stuff. So when I went to finish the form by writing what I liked about the fandoms and the kind of fic I liked, my brain broke. I'm not great at specifying stuff or asking for things in the first place, and I just couldn't think. But I certainly wasn't going to send it off blank, so I didn't send it at all.

(Yes, if I was here more often, I'd have seen my friends talking about it before now. But I wasn't.)

Anyway, now that I know the system, I'm probably going to have a look at pinch-hitting and treats, and I know what I'm doing for next year, so here's hoping.

So I was sorting out my folders, and it turned out I wrote less than half of this two years ago, didn't get any inspiration for the rest, and gave up. By replacing two of the AUs, I've now completed it.

It's been one of those weeks where I ignore all my year-old WIPs because I've had A New Idea, write a handful of introductory paragraphs, and then realise I have yet to attach that idea to anything that might be called a plot. I don't know when or if I'm going to get any further with it, but I'm quite pleased with the thinking behind it, so I thought I'd share. (It's a Kim Newman Diogenes Club/Drearcliff School thing, so if you don't read those, it probably won't mean much.)

Because sometimes the only way to get a pun out of your head is to inflict it on others.

Yes, the Discworld Year of the Justifiably Defensive Lobster is at an end, and as we enter the Year of the Incontrovertible Skunk, it's time for me to look at my fic and think "Was that all?"

(I actually meant to do this on the 2nd of January holiday, but I got distracted by sorting out my fic list. I've added a couple more categories, inserted a couple of things I forgot to add at the time, and most importantly, finally fixed all the LJ links, nine months after I deleted it and a year and eight months since I moved to Dreamwidth.)

Oh, yeah, two stories of varying but non-zero ridiculousness I wrote recently and then forgot to publicise in any way.

The Doctor Who drabble "Really Stretching ... Something", which is a Thirteenth Doctor story where I cleverly get round the fact we don't know what she's going to be like by giving her one line of being bemused, and is also a not-much-of-a-surprise crossover.

And the Furchester Hotel (yes, really) double drabble "Mr Dull Makes a Telephone Call" in which, with the literalism one expects of CBeebies episode titles, Mr Dull makes a telephone call.
