Look at me, keeping my promises!

My goal to actually post on Monday this week is a success! And I don't have too much else to report, other than setting this week's goals, but there are a few things:

• Exchanges due in May/June (hurtcomfortex, pickmeupexchange, idproquo, seasonsofdrabbles, diegetic_exchange, fandom5k + mystery pinch-hits and treats): Still at 12/12, but I edited the thing I needed to, so now this batch is just waiting for various reveals, assuming I don't pick up any super-late pinch hits. (I think there's only one that I even know the fandoms for at this point, though, so I may be safe?) idproquo just revealed last night, but I haven't had a chance to read my fic yet. I'll report back on that next week, which is one of my weekly goals!


• Exchanges due in July/August (caseficexchange, nonconex, justmarriedexchange + future stuff): I'm still at 0/3. justmarriedexchange assignments haven't come out yet, but should over the next couple of days. I'm very excited to see what I get, since there were a lot of really tasty requests. Does it count as gaming if you game for, like, 5 people all at once? 🤣 My goal this week is to get at least 2 more scenes written for my long-fic, and then to solidify my plan for at least one of the other two assignments.


• Potentials for July/August: seasonsofdrabbles for sure, but that's not up for a while. Currently watching nominations for raremaleslashex & littleblackdressex. You know, I would've sworn that I didn't currently have any LBD characters, but kudos to the person who nominated MCU Loki who is, indeed, a LBD and needs to get fucked by everyone, ASAP. I still doubt I'll be able to sign up for either of these, but pinch hits/treats are a definite possibility. Further out on my radar are rarepairexchange & iddyiddybangbang. Also, the big hubbub right now is around battleshipex which I'm pretty sure I'm not doing. It sounds way too competitive and social for my tastes, but I'm sort of watching it just to see if maybe it's not as opposite my natural inclinations as my initial suspicions.


• I've got another of my May/June reveals: For the Kill Your Double Flash Exchange, I grabbed a pinch hit for which I wrote One, Two, Infinity: Shen Wei/Zhao Yunlan/every single other incarnation of Zhao Yunlan (yes, literally) for Guardian - priest. As long as there continue to be horny prompts for these two, I will write them! 😝


• Nothing to see on Femslash Salad Bar...


• I never get a chance to watch anything over the weekend, so no updates on BNHA, but I'll be starting up again today!


• I read tons of Noblesse this weekend! I think I have two arcs left? Rai's doing better now, thankfully. He's not allowed to die. Neither is Frankenstein. The two of them must be weird together forever. Is it wrong that I go 'ho-hum' through the battle scenes to get to the scenes where nothing is happening but characters drinking tea? I think not!


• I realized that I haven't had a hard-copy book to read for a while, which is weird, but I really want to finish Noblesse before I pick something new up. My current inclination is Heaven Official's Blessing by MXTX, which I know nothing about other than that it's long and MXTX wrote it, which is pretty good recommendation for me!


• Figure skating has been kicking my butt lately. I've been super busy at work, so I have very little brain, and I'm trying to learn a new footwork program and a new synchro program, while not forgetting my current freestyle program in the process. It does not help that my coach has completely changed my footwork program 3 times now. It's just not sticking! Oh well, eventually it has to, right?


• Also, I finally signed up to pinchhitbingo, just to see if I've got bingo. And...I think I do? I will talk more about this next week, once I've had time to analyze my board more carefully.

Goals for this week: 1) Get 2 more scenes written for long-fic. 2) Get my idea into shape for one of my other assignments. 3) Read/comment on idproquo. 4) Watch more BNHA. 5) Read more Noblesse! (I want to say 'finish', but practically I don't think I have quite enough time to do that this week. Hopefully next week.)
