Aug. 17th, 2022 05:33 pmDear creator,
I am incredibly excited to see what you come up with for this exchange. Please note that I am entirely up for anything that is Like This, so if you've seen an idea in one that you think sounds perfect for another canon I've requested, feel free to smash those ideas together. I love crossovers, even with canons I'm not familiar with, as long as the canonical timelines work together and the worlds make sense. Feel free to sneak some recs in there by stealth and I will add them to the pile.

RMSE 2022 Letter
May. 28th, 2022 05:33 pmFirst of all, I’m sorry this is so late. Mea culpa, I bit off a lot more than I could chew there. If you have an idea already, please carry on because I will love anything for these characters. Thank you so much for creating for me this RMSE. I cannot wait to see what you have for me and these lovelies.
RMSE 2022 appears to be ‘gay and besotted in the 1920s, possibly with magic’ year. I’ve picked out the Will Darling adventures by KJ Charles, Magic in Manhattan by Allie Therin (with its spin-off series), David Blaize by EF Benson, and Nightingale’s backstory from the Rivers of London series, along with one crossover despite the fact that I’ve come up with a dozen more since. I am up for crossovers between any and all of these, the madder you better, but I’m also entirely at home to fluff, hurt/comfort, heists and adventures, epistolary, or even outright angst for Wesley/Arthur because they were both idiots but they got better and so it’s fine.
I am really excited to see what you make, and I hope you enjoy this as much as I'm sure I will!

Chocolate Box Works
Feb. 22nd, 2021 12:41 pmI had a lot of fun with Chocolate Box this year. It was my first time taking part, and I started out good and early so I got my assignment done and a handful of treats, including a pairing I'd never even encountered before, let alone read or written. In total I wrote 14046 words over 7 stories in 4 different fandoms. One gen, three m/m and three f/f.
I also received this really lovely original work from Rina: One Hundred Thousand Welcomes is an ever so sweet and beautifully researched historical f/f work.

My Planning Process
Feb. 19th, 2021 09:19 pmFor a long while now, I've been planning to write up something about my planning process, because I am a definite planner and my process is long and convoluted and multicoloured and multimedia and, most importantly, works really well for me.
I've looked at processes like Snowflake and SaveTheCat and others, and even started designing my own method based on the PRINCE2 project management principals, but I keep rolling back to the same system that I've been using more or less consistently for years. Once upon a time, back in the mists of the noughties, I was a bit of a pantser. I'd have a concept and a goal in mind, but not an outline or any idea of how to get from start to finish. What I also had was a lot more time and, honestly, low standards for my writing. I can't look back on my stuff from that period with anything other than pride that I've come so far. There's a 200000 word fanfiction in my back catalogue that will, one day, with a lot of rewriting, be a decent 50k novel. It is not decent right now, because I only worked out where I was going with it a fair way into it, and stuffed it with far too much story. And, regardless of the quality, it took me 10 years to finish because I stopped loving it. That was time I could have spent working on things I did enjoy but no, I gave it to that pile of nonsense.
So in the aim of never doing that again, I have developed a system that works for me and produces works I do not hate. This is, however, my first attempt to codify it. Wish me luck.

January Writing Round-up
Feb. 14th, 2021 09:52 amWhat do you mean it's literally the middle of February? Shhh...
Anyway. January was a productive month for writing. I set myself a target of 13000 to ease myself into the year and ended up writing 25774 over 7 projects. Two personal projects, lots of exchange fic (several of which are still to be revealed).
One personal project was just outlining. I did nearly 2k words on planning for a fic pairing Harry Watson with Greg Lestrade's wife, but I'm contemplating scrubbing it from the start and doing it as an original lesbian romance. The Sherlock connection is pretty much just that they met at Baker Street anyway. Watch this space, I guess.
I finished off Nine Lessons and Carol, which is one of my favourite stories I've ever written. It's just shy of 50k, polyam friends-to-lovers about Mycroft Holmes and Greg and Carol Lestrade. E rated for one scene, but mostly just impossibly fluffy and sweet imo.
How We Say It Here is another polyam fic, this time a Doctor Who story for Thirteen/Yaz/Christina de Souza. Adventure and love confessions and confusions between love languages. I'd love to write more for this ship and may do so. Exchange gift for Holly_Poly for ShopFront.
Everything else is for Chocolate Box or other exchanges, so aren't revealed until this month.

Worldbuilding Exchange Letter
Jan. 24th, 2021 09:17 pmHello! Here we go for Worldbuilding 2021. This is my first time (it's my first time for most exchanges), and I am Very Excited. Whether you've been assigned me, you're curious about my prompts, or just wondering wtf this nerd is on about, it's a pleasure to have you.
As my nominations are mostly under the same umbrellas, I’ve merged them for the purposes of this letter and sort of thrown the kitchen sink at them, so they’re all there to pick and choose in a smorgasbord of worldbuilding elements.
I am a nerd and a half. I did Business Management for my first degree and picked up a keen interest in managing organisational change and project management, along with sustainable development, and my current one is in Geography and Environmental Science to indulge my love of rocks, weather and urban development. I’m fascinated by the interactions between geology and the development of urban areas, the unique features of the landscape that shape the culture over thousands of years. I love an archaeologist who gets excited about a lump of iron slag. Whether you do want to create for me, or you just want to geek out about Time Team and karst landscapes, I am entirely here for all of it.
So without further ado...

Time, enigma, etc
Jan. 22nd, 2021 05:29 pmOne minute it's 2014, then you blink and suddenly you're three weeks into 2021 wondering where the last 6 years went and how on earth you're 30. I went back to dust off my other blog, the theoretically professional one, and it turns out that the last update was in, well, 2014.
Oops?
I'm going to do my best to get it dusted off properly and start updating it more often than once every six years, but I need to spend more time here. God I miss the LiveJournal days.
Have a sullen cat to make up for it:
Oops?
