Things I am doing instead of writing my Yuletide:
+ writing post-Covenant Nick/Alan
+ writing an odd Highlander/Young Wizards crossover in which Nita is trying to figure out whether she needs to stop the Gathering, and also is having tea with Methos
+ reading more Vorkosigan books
+ talking about absurd Killjoys/RocknRolla fusion fic with
feverbeats
Things I am not doing instead of writing my Yuletide:
+ packing
I still love my Yuletide! And I am over word count, so that isn't an issue. I just have this absurd notion that my Yuletide needs plot, and the plot is being rather shy. Ah well. How goes everyone else's Yuletide writing?

I hope you have produced some cool results from all that knitting, anyway. :)

I haven't even reviewed my source yet. Even though I can do that *while knitting*. eeesh. but my assignment was one line and my writer doesn't have a letter up and it's bugging me.
no subject
And oh man, I'm sorry! That happened to me once, although I did eventually get more specifics after crying at the mods. Hopefully this will happen for you too! And if not, hey, write whatever you are moved to write. <3
(PS, I adore that your name is WORRYINGLY JOLLY BATMAN. Is that recent or have I managed to miss it? And what's the story there?)
no subject
It is recent! It's a quote from a recent issue of Batman & Robin. I don't know if you know this, but Bruce Wayne was dead for awhile and Dick Grayson became Batman and Damian Wayne, Bruce's illegitimate kid by Talia al Ghul who was raised by her and is a serious dick, became Robin. Bruce Wayne is back from the dead and is now, like, *franchising* Batman, which leads to this hilarious (and mid-firefight, of course) conversation between Dick and Damian. They have just busted into a church and Damian complained that they both used a funny line as they entered, which they should try not to do. Being a superhero isn't supposed to be for fun. Dick thinks they can have fun doing it anyway, which Damian thinks is an attitude he didn't have when Bruce was still dead (not really true - Dick definitely wasn't faking being Bruce. Any emotional downtick might just have been, you know, mourning his adoptive father ... but I digress.)
And then Damian asks, "Consider: hasn't the formation of Batman: Incorporated, the return of the original, given everyone license to be their own sort of Batman? In your case, worryingly jolly Batman?"
And I basically thought "worryingly jolly Batman" was the best thing ever BECAUSE IT TRANSPARENTLY IS.

What I have not been doing instead of Yuletide:
- studying for exams.
Yuletide is, er, mostly going well, by which I mean I'm at twice required wordcount, but it's missing the most crucial sections: the entire middle part where STUFF HAPPENS, and the entire ending where THINGS GET WRAPPED UP. And I dun wanna write those bits.

What have I been doing instead? All the papers, and all the translations! Augh!

At least the things you have been doing instead are legit school things. :)

And yes! Nick/Alan is so my new OTP it is kind of unreal. So now I am writing them! Let me tell you, writing Nick's POV is ridiculously fun and also ridiculously hard. Sociopaths and the liars who love them! :DDD
no subject
Nick/Alan makes me have so many feelings. They are adorable and tragic and care about each other so much and are together against the big bad world even when they don't understand what the hell the other is on about. I like that they're not in any way solid- they obviously deeply love each other, but they also have some Serious Issues, with little to no resolution in sight. And they're both so very imperfect.
Yes, I am a sadist when it comes to fictional relationships. WHATEVER.
The only problem is that this ship does not involve my favorite. I am deeply in love with Jamie, every scene he's in makes me squee, and every scene that has Nick and Jamie makes me laugh so hard I feel like dying. I want them to make out so badly it is near physical pain. The thing about Jamie is that he was adorable and clever and relatable and nice enough (and, y'know, visibly queer, which I'm not going to lie gives character +100 love points to me) so I really enjoyed him in the first book, but was mostly All About the Nick/Alan, and then his wizardly powers came along and he started being all flirty with Baddy McBad Magician, and suddenly I LOVED HIM. I DON'T EVEN KNOW. I CANNOT CHOOSE.

Anyway, um, yes, OTP, quite a lot.
I also hear you on the Jamie front, though! Jamie is WONDERFUL. <333 And it's funny, because ... my shipping is sort of the opposite of your shipping! For the whole first book, I was immensely charmed by Jamie and adored all his scenes with Nick, and I shipped them really hard! Meanwhile, I was making a conscious effort to not ship Nick/Alan, because -- look, there's a reason I never watched Supernatural. (Okay, there are several reasons. But still.) I try not to ship siblings! It is one of my arbitrary fic lines. So imagine my relief when it turned out their relationship was much more ridiculously complicated than that!
So now I sort of want awful Jamie/Gerald instead? I KNOW I KNOW. /o\
(Oh, and also, if we're talking about all my ships: Mae/Sin, y/y/mfy?)

It's wonderful. Yay for authors who fic their own series!

The one about Olivia and Marie and Daniel is lovely. And "Nick's First Word" is one of my favorite things ever.
