Updates & fannish things

[thisbluespirit]

1. My family have gone home now. I saw them intermittently, but it was very nice. I drew several castles for my nephew and niece to colour, and Middle Sis was here for half the day yesterday before she got the train, did a massive lot of cleaning, and then thanked me for the fun she'd had before she left. Hopefully, I won't take too long to recover.


2. hetswap noms are open and I am reminding myself that doing exchanges in summer is not a good idea, but I had fun with that one when it ran before (in Feb/Mar/April time!) and now it allows poly and art/vids/podfic, too. I shall probably nominate but be stern with myself unless I am inspired to write a thing straight off, because I always forget just how much my PC time can be curtailed in summer. (Hetswap is usually tiny enough that gaming the system is possible, so that can work.) After all, it's not as I can write Librarian/Demon more than once in a lifetime, and I can write for paranoidangel any time I feel like it, even if, it's true, I can't demand that she write for me any time I like. ;-p*


3. A new bingo that looks like fun - crossoverbingo! Am also trying to resist that...


* We meet even more inevitably than usual in this exchange.

Looking at the requests and tailoring your offers so you match that person! I don't usually try to do it, but sometimes small exchanges are so small that I have to tailor my offers to try and allow some measure of surprise in, so I can do the reverse at need. :-D

Oh, I've definitely withdrawn offers to write in fandoms when I've seen that the only person requesting it wants something I'd have a hard time (or not have fun) writing, and I've added fandoms when i've seen something that hadn't occurred to me but sounds fun.
