meridian_roseI'm still processing things but I'm slowly moving on, realising part of the anger is because I got dumped without chance to defend myself when I should have left them ages ago given how often they managed to be insensitive.
Also that's three ex-friend bisexuals who've managed to pull shit about my being asexual and it's really starting to wear thin. I still believe that bisexual people aren't all like them, but I keep seeing otherwise and it sucks. I don't tend to have much in common with other asexuals online either, which is frustrating.
I've written a little, and edited quite a bit, things I'd started a while back and finally polished and posted.
I signed up for NaNo but I don't know if I'll actually participate, or if I'll do rebel NaNo and include anything I write in November.
I got my Yuletide assignment and I'm happy with it and have some potential fic to work on soon which is nice! I'm also pretty sure which fandom I requested will be the one I got matched on and I'll be excited to see what gift I get ;
I like to write treat fic too; it was a bit disappointing skimming a few letters and seeing someone asking for the same fic I wrote as treat fic last year. Maybe they just reposted their letter without updating it. But still. It wasn't just "I'd love a coffee shop au" type deal either, but a very specific thing, say "A works as a barista and B is a student that A starts giving free coffee to but then they find out B's ex is the coffee shop owner and angst ensues". I can't help wonder if it's because I didn't include Explicit Sex that the treat fic which hit all the points they wanted wasn't good enough :/ (Bonus since my assignee last year didn't respond to either fic I wrote for them nor the two treat fics other authors gifted them, which is against the spirit of yuletide. Luckily we all got comments from other readers.)
It won't stop me writing more treat fic for others though. And one of the treat fics from last year finally got a comment from the person I'd tried to gift it to (but their Ao3 name didn't seem to match their DW name where I read their letter).
Thing I did this week: back up my harddrive. Maybe some of you need a reminder to back up data? :)
Last week I was outside in a t-shirt. This week I'm thinking winter has arrived!
I'll be away the rest of the week and will catch up when I get back. I've scheduled posts for the professional blog (the Samhain post I published here today).
Have a good week everyone!

Rebel NaNo??? OMG! If I wasn't doing Idol I would totally sign up for that! I've never heard of it and it's really perfect for those of us who want to write but don't want to pen a novel. Hmmmmm.
Glad to hear you've got a fic on the brain needles!

Rebel NaNo is whatever you want it to be; write non-fic or a collection of poetry, work on a WIP, edit a novel, write and illustrate short stories, write several fanfics, etc :)
Thanks, I'll try and outline the yuletide fic this week :)

I hope this week is awesome for you!!
