days go by

Er, this is me realising that I haven't posted anything for a while. I don't really have any good excuses; yeah, I've been a bit busier than usual, but not that busy. I'm just going through a phase where I find everything exhausting/not worthwhile. I might stare at a comment box for a while and then just close the tab, because I can't muster the mental energy to think about what I want to say. Doing my uni work sounds too tiring. Reading fic sounds too tiring. Ugh. I am not at all pleased with this turn of events. My motivation had better revient de vacances REALLY DAMN SOON, because I do not particularly enjoy living in a cloud of grey anhedonic fluff.

Actually, what I do want to do - and might do later today, once I've forced myself to sit down in front of my textbook for a while - is talk about Joan Aiken as an addendum to my childhood influences post. Consider this a statement of intent.

And now: coffee. Because artificial stimulation is better than none at all. (Catchy, isn't it?)

*gives in*

Right. Right. I am now going to do something I never do, which is post the first part of a fic before the whole thing is finished. The completed fic will go up at the ficblog when it's done, obviously.

This was meant to be my ds_shakespeare project; also brynnmck's birthday present, but THAT fell through in a dramatic way, so now it's just something that I'm writing with her in mind. (I don't think I would have waded gamely into the murky swamp of F/K/V on my own account!) I have taken all sorts of bizarre liberties with this one. Everyone just smile and have fun and ignore my blatant disregard for canon(s).

ANYWAY - ENJOY, BRYNN. SORRY IT'S SO LATE. And I will be highly surprised if nobody has done this fic idea before me, but it was written with love, so I figure it doesn't need a brilliantly original premise as well :D
