LOL. Just a short little story I wrote. Not entirely happy with all of it, but I had fun writing it and learned some things as I did and at least a few people are enjoying reading it so good enough.
104,764 word count on what was supposed to be a shorter story. Ah well. I did post a 25K story!

I am totally a normal human, dropping a 25,000 word story (complete for a change) when I should be finishing the final chapter of a different story. Ah well. (Strangely enough this is the fic I started & abandoned to write that story.) (Quite proud of this one.)

Just noticed I totally redid the summary for this story since I initially posted it here (when the first paragraph of the story, more or less, was used as summary I guess).
(Hmm, now that I've finished the story (maybe), maybe it needs more tweaking.) (Pondering.)

I'd say I'm curious what they're laughing about but it was probably something to do with the absurdity of a ceremony where someone puts their hands and feet in cement.

Somehow missed this photo previously, which is important research material or something. I don't even know.

#FanficRec for "it’s good to be young but let’s not kid ourselves" by suzukiblu. A MCU Steve Rogers (& Bucky Barnes) focused fic.
Just reread this, still so damn funny but then it takes a turn, much as the movies do. It's sweet.

#FanficRec for "Punk Like Punky Brewster" by lurkinglurkerwholurks, a post Superman (2025) movie that's entirely a conversation between Superman and Batman. (Spoilers & won't make sense if you haven't seen the movie.)
Love this take on a possible Batman friend for Clark (& Clark's POV is great).

Enjoyed "some heart recalls you every minute" which is susiecarter's latest DCEU SuperBat fic (for SuperBat week).
A different take on a time loop story, though there are actually a number of tropes in the story due to the prompts. #FanficRec

Added a bunch of tags. Realized as I ponder these things that I never pay attention to ratings of stories before starting them (and don't even really know what the colored boxes and icons on AO3 mean which is pretty hilarious given how much time I spend there, my eyes just skid right past them).

I started writing a new story when I started supper tonight & uh . . . 7,000+ words later & a few rereads later I decided to just freaking post it rather than leaving another WIP sitting there to fuss with and never post. Probably not finished. Gen for now.

I feel like a latecomer and then I look around and see what user numbers people were getting just a year later and wow.

Not everyone does, when I search for vids on AO3 I usually search within fandoms for things tagged "Fanvids" or "Embedded Video" and then sometimes I search by word count, figuring vids would be on the low end wordcount-wise. I think "Fanvids" is used the most but "Fanvid" probably maps to it.

When you find three typos in something 20+ days after you posted it. Welp! Should've read my commentary blather closer before posting (or right after posting).

Hmmmm. I think I flubbed some of it, but good enough I guess. (Maybe I'll redo it tomorrow.)

Laughing at today's automatic download of new fanworks from AO3 from folks I subscribe to because uh, that's a lot of Festivids! (calibre/FanFicFare doesn't download the vids, I'll have to do that myself, just downloads info from AO3.)

My pinned post still says I'm married. 💔😭
And now I'm thinking of all the awful merch out there with this awful saying on it. (I mean, if some people find it comforting I'm pleased for them but . . . ugh, no whyyyyyy these things are very much not for me.)

I appreciate the Getty photographer who took these shots at The Dark Knight Rises premiere.
(Most shots were group shots, people with their dates, solo, or . . . these two.)

I haven't seen anyone do this yet but then I haven't been looking all that hard. Sometimes I prefer my news in this format.

I started work on this years ago but only recently picked it up again, had to add quite a few. I'm still working on going through it to fix broken links & add some vids I may have missed. (I totally need more projects, of course.)
