After not writing for a few weeks -- seriously, where did the first half of February go? did I really spend it doing nothing but working and playing video games and devouring boxes of Pop-Tarts? -- I scrapped my avengers-bang fic (for certain values of the word "scrapped" that mean that I should soon be posting first part of that story about there always being a Stark in Winterfell that I keep threatening to write, but I feel like there's no way I'm finishing it by the deadline), worked on my personal canon, wondered if I wanted to go the non-AU route when AU is more my strong point, then realized that, hey, my personal canon will be Jossed (literally!) in a few months anyway, so I might as well write it all down now. :D: I've got a plot, even! Which is what, oh, all of my other ideas were missing. (What I've got so far -- movieverse, the beginning of the Avengers Initiative from Natasha's POV, the Natasha/Steve/Bucky idea that's been rolling around my head for awhile, and Loki being Loki. I'm so excited. :DDD)
I, uh, also caught up on all the Fast and the Furious fic that's been posted since last I looked (right before Marvel captured my interest), emailed![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
coppertone in the middle of the night going BUT WHAT IF BRIAN O'CONNER WAS A WEREWOLF??? WHAT IF THEY WERE ALL WEREWOLVES???? so that's something I'm also working on right now (partially because coppertone's an enabler, partially because BUT WHAT IF THEY WERE ALL WEREWOLVES????). :D: For the record, I think the answer to "what if Brian O'Conner was a werewolf" is that he's so far from being an alpha male that he is an omega male, or, idk, a male from some alphabet other than Latin. Sanskrit, maybe.
Also! idk if I mentioned here, but one of my goals for this year is to get started on this writing project that's been bouncing around my head in various forms for the past, oh, ten years (which makes me feel old, because it really has been about ten years, and sometimes I still feel like I am still only seventeen and thus should probably not have spent a decade thinking about lesbians in a paranormal dystopian future). I've got two pages done, which isn't much, but it's a solid start and I've got a rough outline drawn up that I really like. That ended up being quite the accomplishment -- I wanted to incorporate all the things about the idea I loved when I first came up with it, but teenie!me was not quite aware of the whole women-in-fridges thing, or the internalized misogyny/homophobia thing, and thought that the best and most totally original plot twist EVER would be to have my main character be a brainwashed sleeper agent, kill her girlfriend, and then hook up with her dead girlfriend's brother even though they were both gay. So. That won't be happening, needless to say. :| But I did manage to merge all of the various starts I made before into one, and it was more like fitting puzzle pieces together than jamming a bunch of things into a pot and trying to pass it off as a stew, so I'm pretty happy with it.
ANYWAY BASICALLY: writing! I enjoy it! And planning out writing! Which I enjoy even more than writing! WHY DON'T I EVER REMEMBER THIS, GUYS. I'm always like "Ugh I guess I have to do some writing," as if someone's blackmailing me to write fanfiction or poems or paranormal dystopian lesbians, and then I finally sit down after days of procrastination and after five minutes I'm just like :D! :D! :DDDDDDDDDDDDDDD! Someone remind me of this next time I am whining about writing, yeah?

I think you and me and Claire need to have, like, a conference call on this very important topic, because she suggested Brian was also part Veela, and I really feel like us three great minds should be putting all of these ideas into a melting pot of amazingness.
