In which [livejournal.com profile] ratherastory learns her limitations. Again.

I don't post much about RL stuff here. I keep that for my regular LJ (which is sadly neglected these days) and Twitter. Today I'll make a quick exception because RL is affecting my fic writing. Feh.

1- I'm moving in a little over two weeks. To a house. Which I bought. *flails*

2- The change of season in the fall is always really, really rough on me. This year is apparently no exception. Blah blah blah SAD blah blah mental illness blah. I get a little blindsided by it every year.


In short, I'm going to do myself a favour and stick only to the exchanges I signed up for and not to the challenges, with one or two exceptions. I have to drop [livejournal.com profile] five0bang, because it's 40k and the story isn't gelling at all. [livejournal.com profile] spn_cinema is going to have to go by the wayside, because it's due the same day I'm moving and the story is SO LONG that I won't be able to write it in time. Not with my current schedule and energy levels.

It sucks, but that's part of being a grownup. RL has to come first this time. *sigh*

*SMARM ATTACK*

Hang in there, even fall won't be able to compete with being in your own place, not having to deal with buyers and the like. And, if it does, we'll just ply you with schmoop from any fandom that serves until you can't help but smile. :D

As for your writing, don't worry. When you have time, it'll be there. Of course, you may have to put the muse through detox, but we're used to these things by now. :D

I'm still going to write, but it may well all be comment-fic. ;)

The evil wink intrigues me!

LOL

Comment-fic always includes h/c with me. That pre-supposes that it's evil, yes?

Um... I feel silly for asking, but I've seen that term all over SPN fandom, and I have no idea what it means. What's "comment fic"? :-)

Oh! Comment-fic is easy. Basically, a person or a community holds a comment-fic meme, like this. People post prompts in the comment section, and other people fill those prompts. Traditionally a "fill" fits in one comment-box, but often enough it'll take more than one box to fit the whole story.

Does that answer your question?
