(no subject)

In the past 24 hours I have:

- made Christmas cookies with my mother
- talked badfic in a gay bar
- smoked weed like a n00b
- saw Florence & The Machine live

NOT IN ANY PARTICULAR ORDER, MIND YOU. Ahaha oh god, how is it only Tuesday night??!

I have three separate stories I am working on. This never happens! I'm usually incapable of multi-tasking, i.e. splitting my brain between projects, but somehow this whole being-in-two-fandoms-at-once thing is actually working out for me. Regency AU is currently hovering at 26k, there is now a Steve-gets-deaged fic in the works that I kind of hate, and my dream_holiday fic is Christmas self-indulgence, basically. Can't go into specifics since, uh, my recipient reads this here journal, so! Let's just say if you've read my fic, it ain't gonna be anything groundbreaking.

Ugh, speaking of self-indulgence, prettykitty_aya linked this Cracked.com article on the "Four Most Unexpected Fan Bases in Pop Culture", and #1 is as follows:

You may not know it but there is a huge market out there for writers interested in penning stories about sexual awakenings between teen boys. If you can write a compelling story about ranch hands wrestling in haylofts or cabin boys sunning themselves on poop decks, then there is a built-in audience waiting to read your stories of unbridled yearning and sexual exploration. The audience, however, isn't comprised of the gay and lesbian literature lovers you might have expected, it's almost exclusively heterosexual women.

I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THEY'RE TALKING ABOUT.
