Stuff for this week

Ugh, my building has a mouse infestation. I've caught 10(!) in my traps already. D: And my neighbors all have hefty tallies, too. Exterminator is coming on Wednesday. Mice in my kitchen is now my new DNW.

Stuff I wrote this week:

1. My goreswap assignment! I had so much fun writing this one, and it's a pairing I'm definitely going to be writing again.


2. 2 PHs, for 2 different exchanges. Both fandoms I wouldn't have thought to write outside of the prompts, so I was very glad to see these come up and poke at my brain.

Exchanges/Sign-Ups/Etc.:

• Nothing popped up for highadrenalineexchange that I could write, so I'm sitting that one out. Which gives me some capacity for:


• Femslash Salad Bar! I have several femslash pairings that aren't be requested as often as I'd like, so I figured this would be a good way to focus some time on them.


• I also signed up for Lunar New Year's Wood Snake Exchange, which is scary because there are a lot of art prompts, and I think I might offer some art, since many prompts are animal-only (namely snakes), and that's something I can actually make a go at. I do love cute snakes! 😍🐍


• au5k - I still haven't finished that treat I desperately want to write. I should hurry up on that, since there's not much time left, and lots of other things coming up.


• candyheartsex - I haven't written as many treats as I would have liked. (Largely because the number I would have liked - 14 - was absurd. We'll see if I fit any others in. I'd like to get at least 1-2 more!


• threesentenceficathon - I haven't written anymore for a while. I might pop in before prompts close, if I feel like it, or not. I felt like I got a good few days out of this one, so I'm okay if that was my one burst of inspiration.


• worldbuilding_exchange - I've got my nominations in and am planning my sign-up. This one will be fun! And I have loads of prompts that are more worldbuilding focused, so I'm really excited to see what I'll get for this one, too.


• wickedloveex - My nominations are in for this one too, so just waiting for sign-ups, which aren't for a while yet.


• fffx - I have all my fics in for this one, and there are no more pinch hits, so I should be safe, right? I'm excited for this collection to go live. There are some interesting-looking fandoms/tags in there.


• Still noodling on Femslash Big Bang. I'm thinking about getting a Tumblr account, just because I do have some art, now that I've started drawing up again. TBD!

Non-exchange stuff:

• Still loving Killing Eve! I'm near the end of S2 now.


• Lots of progress on 'How to Survive Camping' this week, and it has gotten so gooooooood!


• I've started up drawing again. Focusing mostly on animals for now, and having loads of fun. I need to figure out how I want to do coloring. I've been doing the line drawings on paper, then scanning, and then trying coloring both on paper and of the scan. It's more fun to color on paper for me, but that doesn't scan as well (loses a lot of vividness) as opposed to digital coloring. Decisions, decisions...


• I've started up origami again too. I'm doing mostly flowers at the moment. Nothing too rigorous or difficult, just enjoying having another fun distraction for my brain. Also: whoa boy, do some sites have lousy instructions! I've ended up on sites with overkill instructions instead, just to stay on the safe side. The former technical writer in me weeps at some of these.
