There may, in fact, be a direct correlation between my team being absolute shit at hockey and how much writing I get done. This could be a very productive season for me. Managed to get two stories posted.

The latter is the WIP I mentioned. It's an experiment in a few things: WIPs, porny storytelling, actual attempts at description, giving other members of X-Force speaking parts.

I keep looking at Tumblr like maybe I want to try it for more than just looking at handsome images of things I like, but then I read words and decide maybe I am just too old for it. Don't even get me started on the people who do firmly believe it's possible to be too old for fandom. I have a lot of feelings about how I participated in fandom when I was a teenager -- the flair for earnest author's notes and lovey-dovey dramatic storytelling young me had makes old me blush -- but my feelings have been relatively consistent. I fucking love the shit out of the things that I love, and I want to write about them and how much I love them.

It is cold outside. I am done with winter, and it is only November.

I'm all for writing productivity, though it'd be nice if you could have that *and* a team that performed better.

They're so bad, Dine. I have to go to the game tonight, and my mission is to basically get delicious arena popcorn and leave during the second intermission to beat traffic.
