2012 Writing Recap
If it was just the first half of this year, it would be crushingly depressing. I was a pretty inert lump up through July, probably caused by being really hard on myself for losing motivation in my original-fic writing. When will I learn that berating myself just never, ever, ever helps.
I did write one little thing, though: Victoria's Worst-Kept Secret; Aziraphale/Crowley, lingerie kink, NC-17. That was for the Porn Battle. I tend to write well when there are challenges to motivate me, but I didn't sign up for many of those this year either. I skipped Remix and Yuletide.
But then in August,![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
htebazytook and I started brainstorming what would become The Bone Fiddle, and we both pretty much lived in that world for nearly five months. And I remembered that yes, I can do this, and even more importantly, I love to do this.
Writing I've done in the past month:
(At least) one Good Omens piece that I am not at liberty to disclose or discuss.
A coda to "The Bone Fiddle" that I've sent tohtebazytook but haven't posted yet that's almost 7,000 words of porn.
Stories up on the horizon:
Something that might be bittersweet and slashy about young Olórin and Aiwendil in Valinor, and where they wind up later.
So:
Faithful old-friend fandom: Good Omens, still, always.
Shiny new fandom smell: Sherlock
BOTH: The Hobbit/LOTR/Tolkien
Actually, Sherlock nearly qualifies as both because I've liked the ACD Sherlock Holmes stories since I was a kid, I just never participated in any of the related sub-fandoms before. That's my long-term pattern if I'm going to seriously fan-write anything: I need canon I can read for inspiration and research.

I like to think this is how I was/am, too
Um, Legolas had some PRETTY IMPORTANT things to say, let me tell you. Remember when he read a fortune cookie to Aragorn at Parth Galen? Or the time he announced that a forest was old?? Or, my personal favorite, when he knew what a diversion was????
As a "Lijah" fan [I hate myself] I was a sworn enemy of the Orli camp. I have such strange feelings about Frodo now. It's like being attracted to a now jailbait kid that looks like the kid you had a cutesy crush on when you were also jailbait
