I've been reading some of the posts and resources listed in the sticky at the head of the community. It's been time well spent. Thank you for collecting them, mods! Yesterday, the first 300 words or so were like blood from a stone as I reminded myself that if they were terrible they could be deleted later, but at least the story was moving forward. Then, around reaching my minimal word count for the day, things started to flow and I wrote about 1000 words that I'm actually happy about!

Looking at my drafts and story ideas, almost everything is a "fix-it" in some way. That's what happens when your favourites keep getting killed off. I mean, there's a reason I have this icon. *sobs into wine glass*

The plan was to continue on my current project, but I may take a break to participate in femslashbb's wlw positivity commenthaton (Warning: link to SPOILERS for last night's The 100).

I definitely write fix-it fic. There's so much to fix out there! (I'm coming for you, Donna Noble!)

No time for writing today, but I did some planning and browsing of prompts. I have a number of possible fics from prompts to work on this weekend, or I may ignore prompts and work on a new WIP chapter instead. We'll see how I feel!

A number of things that I write are fix it fics. My main character dies in canon, so I have to fix that, of course! My longest running WIP is a story that keeps that character alive and follows how the story might go with him still involved in events.

I didn't work on anything writing-related yesterday, but I worked on a piece of fanart, so that's at least some creative output. This weekend I want to start writing the next chapter, now that I'm done with the outline.

I do occasionally write fix-it fics. My current main fandom doesn't require them often though, and I'm very glad about that.
