Nice things

[thisbluespirit]

I was already being overtired and blah blah blah summer, you all know the drill by now, and then as we also all know it was so hot things were on fire, and that was even less fun, but at least that has stopped for now and it is like normal outside even if inside is only more slowly winding itself down from the peak.

Anyway, in the meantime, here are some good things (for me, anyway):

* I woke up this morning to find someone I don't know at all (poweredbuttercup10) has made fanart of my story Red Skies, which I wrote ages ago for calliopes_pen, a little John/Jonathan/Mina Dracula 1968 fic, where the Harkers vamp one fainty doctor. Anyway, I did old-school squeeing, because look: https://thisbluespirit.tumblr.com/post/690462693065474048/based-on-thisbluespirit-s-ao3-work-red-skies

Amazing. <3 (I am laughing at myself a bit though: such a cute little murder scene!!! omg, darlings. <3)


* also i made another element moodboard (about a week or two ago? idk, it now seems like a lifetime or something) for Manganese: https://thisbluespirit.tumblr.com/post/689391684465967104/original-other-elements-28-manganese-he-opens

(I chose Manganese for theseatheseatheopensea's gift fic: The Sky Outside)


* Marie-Clare has now reacted to Blake's 7 ep2 now: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fynx_-yEnCE (Go quickly, because the BBC will probably take it down soon. I won't link every week, sorry, but it was another great reaction, so XD.)


* also lurking_latinist happened to write Like Sunshine Through Rain, making Six/Charley fic just that tiny bit less rare (also it was excellent, yes). <3


Plus, bunn7cula is promising to send me a thing!

And I do at least have a draft of the Just Married fic, but also maybe defaulting would be easier than editing in summer? idk. It is a thing that will definitely be a thing now. Hopefully on time, but eventually, even if I have to wait for a better season, and I am totally being in love with this combination of characters all over again, but I can't talk about that for a month.

Thank you! <3

It is not the editing so much, as my reduced brainage and time in summer and how I don't sign up for exchanges in summer for GOOD REASONS, except I like to be in denial about that. I have used up so much of the limited energy/time doing this and it's STILL NOT DONE and it's SO LONG and I have a blood test on Monday. So I am a bit thinking maybe I should just let it lie till i have some brain and default on the weekend or something, but it's so near done i'd probably still jsut try anyway because i have no sense. And that is what summer is like, really. It has no patience with my delusions of not being an invalid, unlike the other seasons.

ETA: And then instead of stressing, I went and lay down and then later even managed to finish editing it and send it off for beta! It is posted (because I can edit it all i like till reveals).

so i should stop being quite so melodramatic, ahem, sorry. ♥

No way, it's OK to be melodramatic, and even more so in summer, becuse it's The Worst! Yay for finishing that fic, you're an inspiration!! Maybe I'll also manage to persuade mine into becoming a proper story eventually? XD

Good luck with your blood test! I also have some coming up next week! *solidarity hugs*

[thisbluespirit]

Aww. ♥

*fistbumps over blood tests* Good luck with yours, too, then!
