Apr. 2nd, 2025 09:13 pmHappy April everyone! It's the best month y'all. Spring has sprung, the clocks have changed. Hope every one is well!

According to my desk thermometer 23C and 62% humidity. I'd like to say that's why I have no ideas for writing but that's an pre-existing condition.
So late end of august/start of Sept update. I did the 10 GYWO days by the skin of my teeth. Posted 7 things for drabble comms, which seems to be the only prompts I can make work for me at the moment.
I did have a good BBTP posted three things. One I had from the start of the year and only needed a set up, two days I spend on the slash threesome and the Harry100 drabble sequence I did on the day.
None writing wise I've been watching the 2nd disney plus (hulu in america) season of Futurama... it is not good, only watching out of habit really.

Well I had yesterday off. And I was going to write myself something for myself to celebrate the occasion but as usual when one sat down to attempt it nothing came to mind.
What do I even want any more?
Oh well, posting a Harry100 drabble next that I wrote today on sudden inspiration for the prompt. So only one more day for GYWO needed.

fandom update
Jan. 11th, 2024 10:40 pmSo it's a brand new year, same target for GYWO.
It's a slow start. I managed three days on the trot! If I can do 1 more this week and then keep to the weekly target of 3, then I'll hit the target of 10 for the month. The definition of barely adequate!
I joke obviously it doesn't matter if I hit or not.
I did a trio of fics, one for each of the trio, for the Winter Prompt Extravaganza at![[community profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png)
rarepair_shorts and it's funny to see the difference in reception between technically rare (Harry/Pansy) and actually rare. (Ron/Susan, Terry/Hermione) in terms of views/kudos on AO3.
Of course they were all short and low rated. You got to be smutty to get the views. It is known.
I was bamboozled whenneville100 prompted a new prompt today. I thought I'd written for the last prompt but there was a whole two weeks where I lost track there. Oops.
I'm rambling now anyway. Hope everyone is well!

I have written (but not posted) something today. (Well I have posted but that drabble was written yesterday)
Anyway, that brings me to *drumroll* 120 days I've written this year according to my GYWO spreadsheet!
Of course a large part of that was writing 31 days of Weasleys in August!
But still I have fulfilled my commitment to GYMO! I've done it! That's a novel experience for me of actually finishing something! ;)
I don't "have" to write again this year.
Of course that's not really the plan (I'm still aiming for 10 a month) and it may be mistake to post this and sap my motivation but still!
Woo!

(Number of rows in master list -7)/3 = 66 stories on masterlist.
11 fics on the fourth page of AO3, 20 fics on a page on A03. Means I've put 71 fics on AO3 this year.
Trying to find which Five fics I've not put on the masterlist... :'(

Quick update
Jul. 24th, 2023 11:11 pmIt's one of those posts again. Where did the evening go? Why didn't I write more than a couple of sentences?
It's not actually that bad a situation I did my three days last week, a couple of drabbles I posted and a longer fic I wrote the intro for and completely failed to continue today, so I can't count that but still 1 day to write left this month and 7 left to do it on.
Famous last words but I should be able to squeeze some bonus days in.
I've been watching Star Trek: Strange New Worlds (pretty good), Marvel's Secret Invasion (not very good) and today New Futurama (just okay), so quite a few series at the moment! Fallen out of the habit of giving blow by blow episode reviews though.

So anyone seen the news about the Ao3 DDOS.
Apparently it's under attack from "Anonymous Sudan" who claim to be doing it for religious reasons but the article suggest maybe a russian false flag.
And it may be down for a while at that.
What will we do with out the steady trickle of positive reenforcement from kudos emails?
Alas, earwax.

HP Movies Ranked by Netflix
Jun. 5th, 2023 06:26 pmI was never too big a fan of the movie versions of Harry Potter. All of Which (included the first two FB movies but not the third one) are currently on Netflix in the top 10 movies in the UK page.
So this is the ranking of movies according to people who watch HP movies on netflix recently:
1 Chamber Of Secrets
2 Goblet Of Fire
3 Half Blood Prince
4 Philsopher's Stone
5 Prisoner of Azkaban
6 Order of Phoenix
7 Deathly Hallows (part 1 then part 2)
I'm surprised That's the most popular but maybe people are just doing them in order? Philsopher's is low if that is the case. Prisoner is much lower than I expected tbh.

Happy Friday, Y'all
Jun. 2nd, 2023 10:30 pmAlas no long weekends for a while but still a short week and a regular weekend is nothing to sneeze at.
I've been watching the first season of Star Trek: Prodigy this week which is something they've created for younger viewers with Nickelodeon but it was on paramount + and I'm keeping that until s2 of Strange New Worlds is on so I might as well try it.
It's twice the number of episodes had half the length, compared to the 10 episode seasons of Picard or SNW and it's for kids so it's quite light and breezy and fun. Has quite a few callbacks to TNG era which is fun.
Halfway through and enjoying it.
In fandom news, I posed a thing tohphet for it's Mini-fest and I think all the entries are posted so check that out (if you want to) and there are acouple more I need to read myself.
I hit my May target for GYWO with some difficulty. I'm not sure hot months agree with my writing but I have a few days in hand for the year.
Not even trying to write this friday evening and that's pretty relaxing too. Hope you're all well and have a chill weekend planned.

Last night I was feeling much improved, did some hphet prompts. (put yours here!, we've only got a dozen so far) played some videos games, watched some Strange New Worlds, had managed all 3 days writing I needed to do for GYWO and felt good about the pieces I did because of it. Tried to get an early night.
Today, it's a bank holiday and we (the folks and I) went for the walk we usually do on sunday but didn't because weather was better today. Weather was actually variable and somehow I managed to sunburn up my neck.
So that's fun.
Bonus: I inspired a lovely fic because I abused Al Potter last night!

hphet's Mini Fest!Prompting and posting open on both livejournal and dreamwidth

I think people will already know but HP-het's mini-fest has started prompting! Anything goes so long as it's het and no underage characters in sexual situations.
Of course my own problem is I'm running on empty as it is for ideas for myself so I don't know what to prompt. Still hoping to get some inspiration there!
Hope you'll take part! :)
Time flies
Apr. 16th, 2023 02:09 pmIt's already early Sunday afternoon here. Where does the weekend go?
( blah blah blah )
Hmm. I thought I had more to say. Never mind.
