Chillicothe

It's strange, I've been here for nearly 20 years and I've been very indifferent to this city but this year it has grown on me. I think going to the historic downtown has changed my attitudes. It was Ohio's first capitol. It's OLD (Marietta and oddly enough, Gallipolis are older) It has a very cute downtown. Don't get me wrong. It's POOR. The biggest employer is Kenworth and a papermill (that reeks) and the latter is going out of business. There's an active serial killer (I don't feel particularly threatened by this as he goes for drug addicted prostitutes like so many of them, picking the most vulnerable).

I was there today to get the car fixed up (It needed a transmission flush) and got in a little shopping (not much as the tiredness is real). I wanted to take pics of downtown but I forgot my camera and my phone is stupid (it will only let me upload to social media which is a pain in the ass here) AND unfortunately it's paid parking which is annoying (especially when it's now all credit card which creeps me out)

I did however get a lot of writing done on my Math Horror story but I'm not sure I'm going to get to the third killing because it should be kinda easy to figure out who so maybe I put the explanation too early. Might want to wait on the explanation. I don't know and probably won't have time for a beta on this one. I need to get moving on Jethro tull too (I really wanted to do the fantasy one but they're reading for the SF one and they're not sure they're going to get to do the fantasy one). I have an idea but I'm not sure it's going to be short.


So fandom stuff finally. I wanted to talk about leaving a fandom. I'm curious to know what makes you leave a fandom. I'm sure, like me, it's a lot of little things. ( it got long )
