Tomorrow is a holiday yay
Yuletide deadline is in two weeks! I have a first draft, but haven't touched it in a week. I don't like editing -.-
Yesterday the Pens had an afternoon game, so D. and I watched it live! With some connection problems, that was annoying, but we had pizza. And they won, despite all the injuries, which is nice :)
For the December meme, a question bykate: Do you write things you want to read, or do you read things that are different from what you write? Any tropes/premises/worlds that are favorites, in reading and/or in writing?
Both.
I'll read pretty much anything if it's well done, tropes/pairings/fandoms, and I've discovered many great things by following recs or authors I know into the unknown.
Favorite tropes to read: many, and it depends on the fandom. Sometimes I like harlequin fic, sometimes I prefer trope subversion. I like alternate history AUs and different world AUs a lot (mundane AUs less, but they can also be written very well.) I like stories that center around close-knit communities, like teamfic.
I read a ton of things I haven't written yet, but that I might write in the future. I have many more ideas for stories than I actually end up writing, sometimes because of time or energy and sometimes because I think I'm not good enough to write it yet. For example porn: I enjoy reading explicit fic (if the sex scene has a purpose in the story), but I don't like writing sex scenes because I don't think I'm good at them (yet.)

This is just like me! I read really widely and I write pretty widely too, though I can't write all the things because honestly, there are only so many hours in a day.
Hahaha, sex. The big bang I'll be posting in a week here is like, HALF sex. And I really set out to end it on a fade to black, or maybe a kiss, or... welp. That's how these things go, I guess. And anyway, what I really meant to say, before that detour into ME ME ME, is that the only way to get better is practice, so... MOAR PORN, is what I say. And hey, if you want a second set of eyes or beta on that stuff, I'm happy to do it.
