shake the habit

[aphrodite_mine]

Bracing for ye olde winter storm - though it could very well still shake out as nothing, knowing the weather here. It doesn't seem fair that the snow day isn't a snow day and I just have to work from home. Having the power go out would suck, but it would be a proper break. Never mind, I'm not invoking that. The kids would riot. The storm, nothing or not, has pushed off, yet again, the big work meeting and kickoff. I have Schrodinger's promotion, or the promotion that fell in the forest with no one around. 

There are far too many events going on for femslash February (and did halfamoon always land this month?) and it would be nice if I were to write something for one of them, but I don't hold out much hope for myself. I'll do my pinch hit and offer a prompt or two and feel bad instead. Here's the ones I'm most keen on possibly trying to do: kimaracretak's bring her bleeding heart for me (dark femslash commentfic meme) and elasticella's femslash find it with a nice variety of prompts. There's more too, of course, but I'm trying to be kind to myself. 

I'm *checks watch* a bit depressed, I think. 

ETA. Will you link me to a place where you've made a request or prompt? (femslash preferred) Alternately, if you aren't participating anywhere, leave me something that would feel good at 300-500 words. If you like.

I haven't made any requests, and am failing at femslash these days. And yeah, HalfAMoon has always been the first two weeks of February, so long as I participated.

I am sorry you're a bit depressed.

I'm also sorry I upgraded to fiber internet, as the DSL is likely to fail, but the fiber won't, which means I will be working unless power goes out.

Curses to modern technology!

I'm feeling a little better today, everything is silly and ephemeral.

I'm sorry you're down. 🧡

I invariably fuck up getting dark femslash right, so I won't try there, but I'll try and think of a prompt for you.

<3

Zero pressure, dear. I'm not sure I fully... get what makes a story dark? In the same way that I don't always get kink. My brain just kind of shrugs and hopes I get the gist.

[gloss]

Not sure if you saw this prompt list and event, but maybe something there will inspire?

This has little to do with anything, but I've been mulling over how to genderswap Jay Sebring in OUAT in Hollywood, so Sharon gets a 10000% happy ending.

[aphrodite_mine]

Just seeing this one.' Yes, very much up my alley I think- thanks ! And fem! Jay omg I want??Jaye, Perhaps?

I'm not sure if we have any fandom overlap whatsoever, but I'm signed up for rarefemslash exchange.And lots of other requests there, too.

[aphrodite_mine]

I'm always on the lookout for familiar faces in exchanges, but I don't think we have any crossover this round. I may or may not be working on a pinch hit for the exchange, though. *evades*

[acequeenking]

I've done Kimara's bring your heart to me at least twice and had a great time! V. much recommended. I'm probably not requesting this year but only because February is going to be my hell month this year (ugh).

I hope you get to celebrate your promotion soon. That sounds like such a frustrating no man's land.


I hope your storm is on the lower end of the severity scale too! Stay safe. Hoping your workplace at least gives you time to breathe, even if you're WFH.

[aphrodite_mine]

So far so good on severity and workplace, but the jury is still out. Fingers crossed!

[minoanmiss]

May your promotion emerge from its box soon, live and invigorating!

For Chocolate Box I requested Anaktoria/Sappho and Rey/Rose Tico, if those strike sparks?

[aphrodite_mine]

I almost wish I'd seen TLJ since it was in theaters - and I still haven't seen the final one. Do they end up meeting? I'm jogging my poor memory...

[minoanmiss]

Rey and Rose know who each other are by TROS, but their relationship pretty much needs to be constructed by the author. Which is the fun bit. :)

[aphrodite_mine]

Oooh! Very nice. Shall have to dive in to the last movie at some point. can't avoid it forever!

[minoanmiss]

I wiah I could come over with appropriate snacks. That's how I feel too. I have it on my TiVo and keep staring balefully at it.

*hugs and hugs*

I hope something shines a little light in the dark for you.

Femslash prompt: IDK how you feel about incest, so disregard if this is squicky for you, but what about something codependenty and fucked up slice of life for We Have Always Lived in the Castle? Maybe from Constance's POV?

[aphrodite_mine]

That prompt is right up my fucked-up alley. I want all of the dub-ish Constance/Merricat. I think I will try for this!
