Mid April Updates

Con Stuff:

 I'm exhausted.  I need to start pulling myself together and get my classes ready for the subs when I head off to Basingstoke. I am soooo seriously excited. I did a zoom call with several people going, including some of my favorite authors, and I think that went okay?  I suspect I talked too much which is my usual issue. It was fun, though, and they were all such lovely people that I get to meet soon!

Fic wise:

• I was surprised and happy to see that my fic, Festering Wounds, Hurting Souls, Loving Hearts got rec'd on stargateficrec. That doesn't happen too much for me. In fact, in my 18 years of writing SGA, I only have one other fic that got rec'd there.  The good news is this means this fic is creeping up on 100 kudos which makes me all kinds of happy as I only have one other fic above 100 kudos (it's like an achievement score in my eyes) I only wrote it a few months ago.  To think I almost deleted it after it was up for a day or two because I was unsure about it...

• Which reminds me, I need to make my recs on stargateficrec. I'm doing humor this month and I have a fairly good idea which ones I want to rec if I can just remember to actually do so.

• Working still on this fic with cassiope25 that we've been on since November. It's starting to come together and it's fun and different. tippergreen is kindly giving us some much needed help/background to pull our story together. Except for writing with my neighbor, this is my first collaboration fic and it's been a learning experience. I think I'm learning a lot and it's made me think about how much I want to do more collaborations and learn from even more people. I know I've learned a lot from cassiope25  and my neighbor with just a few short months of working together.

• I also have a few fic ideas in my head. My middle child  and I came up with a great idea that I think needs to be a fic: Ancient School books.  Learning to read from Ancient early readers.  Aesop's Fables, only with twisted Ancient morals like: "It is better to let your seed planet go than risk losing ascension."  I was thinking of calling it "The Ancient's Guide to Questionable Morals, abridged kid's edition."
