And moving on to the flamingo:



[BIG BANG DEADLINE IN A WEEK (Fanfic Flamingo) GO TO KINK MEME AND START A MULTI-PART FILL INSTEAD]

I think that's a situation a lot of comm members are familiar with! Do you do this sort of thing? I definitely think that sometimes switching gears & working on a different fic can be helpful & give your brain a break. But sometimes (at least for me) it's just unproductive procrastination. Is there a way you can tell the difference? How do you rein yourself in & get yourself back on track if it is just fruitless procrastination? (Is it ever procrastination? Maybe all words are good words!)

I've been moving house and putting my books onto LibraryThing the past couple days (oh my gosh is that site addictive O_O), and today...

...well, today seems to be Comment Like An Asexual day for me ;P I just finished a quick description of a poly!ace orgy (inspired by a Matt Smith quote, "The Doctor's idea of an orgy is playing chess with an ostrich"), and now I am going to write a - hopefully polite - angry comment to a BNF in another fandom about an ace-oblivious post they just did. *fingers crossed*

Ohhhh LibraryThing! I had my whole collection on there but then I moved continents & got rid of half of it in the process, so... I'd probably need to torch my account & start again. ^^;;;

Good luck w/the critique to the BNF -- pointing out that stuff can be so tiresome (& hard, when you draw fire), but necessary!
