shush tummy, i gave you protein

[tielan]

I feel like I'm always hungry these days. I had protein at breakfast and lunch; I don't know why I'm hungry when it's not even 4pm.

There's going to be a summer hockey competition! Which I am eager to participate in. Tuesday nights. But I had better get (back?) into the habit of running. UGH.

I nominated all the sedoretus in to holly_poly, and need to check that my YT fandoms have been entered correctly (it's not like it's anything new). I'm contemplating mistletoe_exchange, too.

Then there's the Dear Author letters to be done.

I dunno about YT....the "worldbuilding" thing is really giving me pause, as it's apparently for people who want OCs but In The World Of the canon, and I get attached to canon characters first and foremost, and focusing too much on small canon details and timelines freezes me up. IDK. (I'm not a fan of how many "five minute" and cracky fandoms have sloshed in, either, altho I'm a Grumpy Old Fandom Bat and my tolerance of those was severely strained and then completely snapped with the Octopus Stealing Camera fic written entirely as chatlogs via graphics.) (Which was posted in 2011! NOT POSSIBLE. I can't believe I have held a grudge against that story for this long.)I've always meant to write for Holly Poly and mistletoe but never do. I've whiffed every exchange after the MFD implosion so far, so maybe I'll continue my streak, LOL.

I always have a moment of hesitation as I put my offers in. Mostly because in spite of the ODAO, I feel uneasy about writing for people who want slash pairings in canons where I don't/can't see it. In the end, I have to trust that ODAO, and I'm not going to get dragged over at _coal for being the wrong kind of person writing the wrong sort of thing.

Worldbuilding, though, I can certainly do!

Like you, I tend to avoid the 5 minute/cracky fandoms, although that's mostly because I lack the ability to write the crazy and cracky which is what people seem to want from the 5 minute fandoms. I know they're usually the big hits of YT but I've never been a 'big hit' kind of author.

The bit that's giving me pause is that three sign-ups in the next two months feels like a bit more than I want to. Although I do want to. I just don't know if I should...
