On plus side, tea.
Am frustrated at myself, as ever, for not being able to articulate what I'm trying to. Have added an ETA to the post about travelling solo as a woman that I made last night.
In other news, here are two response-to-CoE fics that I've read in the past 24 hours - practically polar opposites in how they deal with it, but nonetheless both good reads:
- Shift by iamshadow
- Dance Me to the End of Love by Otrame
My own writing is somewhat stalled. I have a bunch of things on the go (including those timestamps) but I'm struggling to get there. It's frustrating because right now I'm relying on fandom for a lot of my sense of community, and not producing anything feels like I'm severing myself from that. So I feel more desperate to write more, but am probably just shooting myself in the foot as the more I try to force myself to write, the less likely it is to happen. Heh.

(Anonymous) 2009-08-18 03:34 pm (UTC)(link)I know that feeling. I feel like if I'm not posting fic, then I'm not giving my fair share, actually. Like, that's what I bring to fandom, you know? I feel like when I don't write, I'm that person who endlessly takes pennies from the till at the store and never puts any back in.
You can talk fandom with me any time, bb.

You are interesting and adorable even when you're not posting fic, bb. Have a cup of tea and a biscuit and don't worry about it too much; your fannish mojo is indestructible.

Because I am a terrible tour guide, have a website (http://www.visitliverpool.com/). If you and L are still around on the weekend of 30th/31st August, the Mathew Street Festival will be on, which is a thousand kajillion bands playing live in the city centre. It is fascinating and often a good time, but it gets so crowded that Mathew Street itself can look like Dawn of the Dead tiems. Fair warning.
