Sorry I missed yesterday, I was worn out after work with it being my first day back from sick leave. How is the writing going today? What about the last two days?

Discussion (1): what are you working on this weekend?

Discussion (2 - optional): real events. Do you ever include real world events into your fic? If you do, does it depend on the fandom that you're working in? something else

This is my weekend off! I'll be working on my ssrconfidential fic and hopefully starting it, so far I've done canon review and made notes from my recipients request. *tells self* can do this! I'll also be working on some of my own Agent Carter fics and a reactionary meta that has started because of a recent accusing review I got for a fic. Fun times.

With some of my fandoms I do have real events to use for background and other purposes. One of my friends wrote an X-Files fic in early 2000s where Follmer remembers the Hillsborough tragedy, it was handled very well too.

I was dealing with life yesterday, but today is a total day off, so writing will happen (as long as I don't fritter it away playing computer games or something...).

This weekend, anything I work on will be progress, but I think I'll try to finish up a chapter in my epic LotR WIP so I can post it. It's been a bit too long between chapters this time!

Only one of my fics takes place in the "real world" but I haven't included any real events in it.

Working on fills for a couple of challenges that are soon coming due.

When I work on stories based in the real world (which is rare, but does happen on the occasion I do certain originals), I like to include topical stuff (e.g. a story in Lebanon set against the backdrop of the Syrian civil war). Helps give a reader points of reference, IMO..
