tielan: (don't mess with)

I'd quite forgotten how exhausting it is to be in a live fandom. Particularly with a bunch of twenty-somethings, or people who have made this fandom their life.

At this point, I mostly just want to write fic and find friends. (And I am. And will.) Just probably not on Twitter or Tumblr.

Speaking of social media, I have found a statement that will instantly ratio you across the intarwebs on any platform:
Our society carries a lot of trauma about Susan Pevensie.


Permaculture course weekend was good. Interesting, certainly. I shared a house with two other women, and a third women joined us in company for Saturday night. The conversations got complicated and, at one point, emotional.

The thing about permaculture is that it's an intersection of a great many schools of thought: there's the 'something to use for a better world' group, there's the 'I'm checking out of the existing world' group, there's the 'bunker mentality, but with more community and group survival than the preppers', and all of this frequently intersects with stuff like anti-vaccination, anti-government, anti-urban sentiment.

So, yes, the conversation went places that were, if not as divisive as, say, discovering someone you were close to thinks DumpT is politically the second coming, certainly talking at cross-purposes in an emotional and personal way.

I have done very very little quilting these last few months.

It's growing increasingly cold around here. I am not at all happy about this.

Meeting Halfway: Meeting Halfway
started 49475

Sokovia: Sokovia, Suburbia, and the Senate
started 17500

wisdom: the wisdom to know the difference
started 16500

Halfway insane is what I am, I suspect. At least 7500 to each of these by the 15th July. That's, what, 3 months away? Less?

Is anyone willing to encourage/prompt/kick me on a semi-regular basis for these? Someone who liked one of the stories the first time around and is willing to be a PITA to keep me going?

Summary:

“At least he's not approaching this time like a man approaches the gallows,” Benedict comments from across the room.

Anthony doesn't point out that the last time he tried to get married, he wanted the whole business over and done with. Traditions? Customs? Rituals? None of those were important; being wedded was what mattered.

This time, it's not just the prospect of being wedded that Anthony wants, but the marriage he intends to make with Kate.

I haven't been reading much in the fandom; as [personal profile] beatrice_otter noted, the fandom tends 'young' and I haven't had the patience to winnow through the stalk and chaff for the wheat.
