Aurora's Sundry Notes

I just listened to the second-to-last episode of the Wolf 359 Season 3 tonight.

Well, that was not restful.

*cuddles self*

(I'm not saying anything more spoilery than this in the post, but if someone comments, there might be spoilery discussions. Just saying.)

Well, I rather could tell it wouldn't be restful, but the whole second half of the season has been so tense, I just wanted to get on with it. I have a feeling I'll have to listen to the last episode pretty soon, for the same purpose.

(Why do I always do this to myself? Get into fandoms that really get under my skin? Well, I suppose it's hard to get obsessive about things I don't care intensely about.)

ETA: And now I also listened to the season finale, and oh, my... It wasn't exactly cheerful either, but it also rather changes certain things - and makes the thing I was the most upset about less dire - but the last few episodes were a hell of an emotional ride altogether. As much as I'm going WTF and want to find out what's going on, I'll need some time to recover before I go onto the final season.

A meme grabbed from kindkit, because I want to be social about something and this seems like a good way. And also because I haven't done a fandom meme in a while and this looks like fun.


Give me a character and I'll tell you some things:

1. How I feel about this character

2. All the people I ship romantically and/or sexually with this character

3. Favorite gen relationship(s) for this character

4. My unpopular opinion about this character

5. One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon.

6. Random pet theory about this character that you won't convince me is not true.

7. A song or piece of music I associate with this character.


Feel free to pick any fandom that you know I like. If you're not sure if I know/like something, try it and I'll tell you if I don't know the fandom/character enough to have these opinions. Just one caveat: if you pick Doctor Who, I've still got very conflicted feelings about the Chibnall era thanks to the S12 finale, so please be a sweetheart and don't pick the characters from that era. Anything else goes, old and new.

My AO3 account - not only my own works but also my bookmarks etc. - can provide you some ideas as to which fandoms I've been into in the recent years, if you have trouble remembering.

It's been a busy day and I actually have a time when I need to get up tomorrow morning, so this'll be brief.

Today's Writing

I added sentences to a ficlet. I'm still hoping to finish things for my April allbingo card before April's over, but we'll see how that turns out.

Are there any volunteers to host this challenge in May? I asked a couple of days ago and I'm asking again now. falkner has tentatively offered to host if there are no other takers, but if someone else is willing and able to host, please let us know!

Today's Writing

In the early part of the day, I added some sentences to yesterday's fanfic, and I typed up more of the novel scene, editing some parts in the process. Now in the evening I did a bit more novel-writing, a little under a page longhand. It feels like I currently often think better with pen in hand.

Since it's less than a week until the end of April, I thought it might be prudent to start looking for the next month's host before it's time for this travelling writing caravan to migrate to another journal. So, anyone around who'd be willing to host us in May? If you've never done it before, no stress. The main thing is to get the check-in post up every day, update the tally, and hopefully reply to the participants' comments and maybe cheer them on and so forth. Anything else is optional. Especially in the recent months the hosts have often included writing-related comments, questions, quotes etc. and that's been great, but it's entirely voluntary, so no need to worry if you don't think you can do that.

Anyway, if you'd like to try hosting us for the month of May, comment here or in another check-in post and let me know! And if you'd like to host another month that's not May, you can let us know that, too - it's extra nice to sometimes get the hosting sorted out for a few months in advance!

Today's Writing

I did some freewriting first, and wrote a bunch of notes for the Ambush Project #2. I'll really need to give it a better proxy title for referring to it here. I also unearthed some unused or little-used notebooks from my drawers and assorted other places, and took some time to figure out which I might use for the notes of which project.

I meant to work on my novel as well, but that doesn't seem to have happened. I did think about it, though, so there's been some work in my head...
