stuff about stuff

[domarzione]

* I had to replace my desktop monitor after it blew on NYE. The new one is only an inch or two wider, but it feels like a completely different thing because it's HD. The old one had been good for what it was and it had lasted a long time: it still has a mark indicating that it's suitable for Windows Vista. :)


* In the Stupid Human Tricks department: managed to clock myself in the temple hard enough to leave a bruise this morning. I wasn't watching what I was doing and when I bent down to pick something up off the floor by the dining room table, I whacked my head against a chair back. It's sore to the touch and sore in general, but it's mostly hidden by my hair, which I'm grateful for because I don't want to look like a domestic violence victim when I'm just an idiot.


* I posted this to tumblr, but it probably makes more sense here:

I am not going to do a Year in Fic review because pretty much the only thing I produced in 2018 was Buratino and two glorified drabbles.

I was going to be a wiseass and do the Year in Fic 2013 instead, but that was the year I started in the MCU so it was literally just the Freezer Burn series.

So then, out of curiosity, I checked 2008′s year in review and it was such a long list of SGA stuff that I had had to split it into two entries, Jan-June and July-Dec.

I don’t have a compiled list for 2003 – I started it in 2004 – but it was comics fic, X-Men and then my freefall into DC.

I can only guess what I was doing in 1998 because that was Mailing List Era and while I’m sure I have the Homicide stuff I wrote for Schism somewhere, that somewhere might be a zip file on my external drive.


I am unsure about doing any kind of author meme; I am seriously delighted when people ask me about fic or want something elaborated upon, but requiring it from others in meme form makes me feel like a diva demanding attention and prattling on unprompted feels very self-absorbed. It’s probably not healthy to be so sure that nobody cares.

So, basically, if you have questions or thoughts, I have Opinions and answers.

FWIW, I often like reading authors prattle about their stuff, but coming up with questions feels like having to do work in some kind of English class, so with the memes that give some kind of list of topic suggestions, where you just have to pick out a number for something that sounds interesting seems much easier.

I always seem to find the replies to that sort of thing, but never the actual post.
