Bone tired

[cornerofmadness]

To the point I'm making careless mistakes, like yesterday when I literally couldn't figure out my cruise control (as if this is somehow new to me). I can't stay asleep and now with yet another 30 degree temperature bounce I'm in SO much pain.

I was considering going to Herdcon at Marshall tomorrow. It's their first pop culture con as I'll be in Huntington anyhow BUT I'm not so sure about it. I will be at the steampunk con in two weeks so I'm probably best conserving my money for that.

And since the pain and exhaustion are high I'm not going to post some of my thoughts because they will be harsher than I want to put out there.

On the other hand I could use some help, some Christmas prompts (especially Christmas gone hilariously wrong).

And here's a fun meme so give me numbers. I snagged this from filigranka



I currently have 250 works posted on AO3 (and wow, Word Count:1048668) Choose a random number—no peeking!—between 1 and 250 and I will tell you three things I currently like about that work.

79, then?

hmmm let's see if I can count this out right (also helps if I edit the damn meme correctly. God, I'm too tired to know what I'm doing.)

In Memoriam

This is a short one written for Memorial Day in Fullmetal Alchemist. I like being able to work through Maes's death because 16 years later I'm still not over it.

It let me showcase the softer side of Mustang, the one who misses his best friend horrible.

And it lets Riza support Roy quietly as always

Tell me about work number 1, please

[cornerofmadness]

Thanks.

Okay number 1 was actually one brought over by the person who ran Angel Book of Days way back when and it's Mad, Bad and Dangerous to Know

I think it might have been my first major BtVS/AtS crossover and it reflects heavily two things I felt back in '03, that Home was the stupidest way possible to handle Connor's character and that I was still very pissed off at what had been done with Spike in the last two seasons of Buffy.

What I liked about it was that I think I wrote it in a month or so for the challenge and it's nearly 40K so that was a story that just flooded out. I loved being able to bring Buffy's crew in with Angel's (though I was bad to poor Gunn). I loved using all sorts of Native American myths in it and it also reflected many places I've lived in my life which was fun. (and yes that does mean South Dakota, Wisconsin and Florida all of which are featured in this). It also made me happy to work with Angel and Connor in a way that they got to move past the pain and on to something that was healthier but only just starting that way (Connor spends a good part of this barely conscious).

Ooh, sounds nice!

[cornerofmadness]

It seemed to work for people if nothing else.
