[community profile] whumpex revealed this week and I loved my gift!

Strategic Alliances (Babylon 5, Londo & G'Kar & Na'Toth, 2900 wds, post-canon)
One of my requests was for Londo and Na'Toth interacting, maybe teaming up if something happened to G'Kar, and this satisfied that craving very nicely.

I picked up a pinch hit for Whumpex as well as my assignment, so I have a couple of things in the collection.

I also wrote a pinch hit for Casefic (done, not revealed) and I have my Id Pro Quo assignment. There are a few different exchanges currently or soon to be in nominations, including Multifandom Tropefest and Just Married, but I really need to not sign up for anything new in the near future; I'm enjoying doing exchanges again, but I want July to be mostly recharge time.

I finished my Dungeon Crawler Carl reread, and now I'm going back and rereading particular chapters for clues and other lore. I don't know if I'd say I'm having fandom feelings about it (for one thing, the state of most of the fanfic is dire) but I'm really enjoying it. I'm into it enough that I ended up backing Matt Dinniman's Patreon because I don't want to wait until the next book comes out to read new chapters.

It is finally summer, or at least summer-ish. (Never mind the frost warning two days ago.) I took a drive this evening and took this picture from a boat launch at a nearby river.

I also drew a birthday card for my sister and mailed it today.

I was answering a comment over on AO3 on my old Stargate fic Old Soldiers Die Hard, the one with Annie the candystriper viewpoint OC, and got to thinking about the elapsed time since I posted it in 2006. She was probably meant to be in her late teens in the story, something like 17 or 18, which means that if she aged in realtime, she'd be in her late 30s now.

I was thinking about this in particular because it was always one of my most popular fics in that fandom, and people often asked for a sequel to that story about Annie grown up (and still do now and then). I don't mind being asked, although it is definitely not happening because I've long since moved on, but it's a bit wild to consider the passage of time in that particular way.

(Annie is grown up and doing fine, btw.)

Babylon 5 WIP is finally complete!

I finished that Season 5 AU WIP! Finally!

The Living and the Damned (23K, Londo/G'Kar, mature-rated)
Fixit (of sorts) going AU in 5x18.

Some thoughts on writing WIPs under the cut (not spoilery for this fic in particular, more like general musings).

Under here )

I don't know - what do you all think? Do you post WIPs? Do you read WIPs? It's been a long time since I've been in a fandom that had a lot of WIPs, prior to getting into Murderbot last year, which is almost like old-school ffn/LJ fandom with its very high number of WIPs. Including a lot of unfinished ones! And that's part of what got me back into posting some of my longer fic in WIP form, because there is a certain excitement and energy to it that I miss. Plus, in non-fandom spaces, I've enjoyed serialized media for a very long time (comics, webcomics, TV shows, etc). But it is obviously not without its down side, and I don't think I was prepared for how much trouble I was going to have finishing things when they're being written WIP-style.
