a brief list of fandomy things
I'm still really busy and really tired, so not much writing is happening. The Raven Cycle big bang mod has been MIA since April and never send the first check-in email. I haven't started writing my fic yet, and I haven't been in the mood to write dark and depressing things, so I probably will not write the fic this summer unless the mod gets their shit together.
I wrote a thing for the recent kinkfest on the hockey fandom kink meme. It even killed a little bit of my writers block. So I guess I'm really writing for this fandom again? I might actually write something longer than 1000 words.
I keep plotting and drafting and scrapping entries explaining my complicated feelings about hockey fandom, but I'm in an emotional place where I can handle the Blackhawks winning another cup without wanting to break things, so I think I'll be okay dipping my toes in again. There also seems to be an upswing in people writing rare pairs and underrepresented teams, which makes it easier to avoid certain ships.
I'm only halfway through the Rivers of London series, but I can already tell the fandom is going to be a bad fit for me, because the further I read, the more I want Peter Grant being sexually menaced by every powerful supernatural woman he meets. And Peter/Leslie endgame. I really need to stop developing het OTPs in fandoms that are 99% one dominant slash pairing (cough, Kingsman).
Per my new icon, I've met Bobby Orr, and he is very charming and funny and still kind of a fox.

If you ever do decide to write that dark fic, I am still up for beta and brainstorming!

The fic and the fandom in general are causing me more stress than enjoyment right now, so a break is probably good for me. At least five thousand words is barely anything if I decide to pick it up later :)

Ugh. Well, I hope you get your mojo back for the fandom, though I fully understand your disenchantment with the fandom. Also, I think it's great that you're getting back into hockey (even though I don't share it). But speaking of which, I dunno if you're looking for a place to live in almost-town, but a fandom-friend (who is into hockey, though possibly not according to your preferences :-) who I know primarily from The Eagle / Eot9 fandom is looking for a third roommate.

That...might be relevant to my interests, actually! I'll shoot them an email, thanks for passing that along.
