Update-The state of my fanfic and other projects

[so_out_of_ideas]

I'm going to try to make this short. That doesn't usually work for me, but I'll try anyway.

I've had an ongoing cycle of headaches for the past 4 weeks with only a 2 day break in between. I hurt my arm very badly the other day, and my typing time/accuracy has gone way down.


I know I just started the 100 Things challenge, which a couple of people at least were very excited to be reading. I opened fic requests for that, and I have been working like crazy on a novel for scifibigbang. Under the circumstances, I am going to go back on semi-hiatus.

I will still be beta-reading and cheerleading for those folks I've agreed to do that for, but I dropped my own participation in scifibigbang.

I will be trying to write some more short-shorts like the ones I posted in April, so there may be some fic updates of that nature in the fall/early winter, but I don't expect to be doing more than that. (MAYBE some Vader's Cat) Otherwise, I can't say when I'll be writing much fanfic again.

I have been making some icons here and there, again, so there is a possibility of some graphic updates.


In This post on LJ and mirrored in This post on DW, I mentioned an idea for a prompt/challenge community that is entirely self-directed (meaning you can pick whatever project you want, whatever prompts you want--or no prompts--and the idea is to just get some motivation to finish something by having a stated goal and the promise of a shiny award when you're done.

I went ahead and set that up open_art_dw and open_art_lj. Check it out if you want. You don't need posting access or approval to join, so it SHOULD keep running by itself while I have headache episodes. Once I let me flist guinea pigs work out all the kinks, I'll start advertising the comms. Would anyone like to co-mod on LJ since I'm more often on DW these days?
