oh, we could start over again

[reflectedeve]

I finally finished my grad school application last night, and I'm taking it to the post office in about an hour! \o/ Good gods, that took forever; I guess it's appropriate, though, since I've been waiting to do it for years. Now I really need distrations - good thing I have about four more projects of varying sizes to complete by the end of the year! I haven't done much on my yuletart piece, but I've got my idea pretty well figured out, so I'll have to tackle that first. Yay, fanart!

I've been doing my best to avoid reading much of anything about the yuletide process this year, because that's always really distracting - buuut, I've slipped enough to search the list of confirmed fandoms a few times, and I'm so excited to read the archive this year! So many amazing comics in particular, and I'm really hoping for great Community fic. And BATWOMAN. (And maybe Nikita? I can't decide what I want, exactly, but I'm stubbornly loving that show in spite of problems. I want so much more of the title character than canon's ever likely to give me, or at least, do well.) I'm sad that glockgal's desi Supernatural comics don't seem to have made the cut, though? Unless I'm missing something? And there are, as always, a few fandoms that sort of freak me out. (Webcomics creator RPF, for instance. I met a bunch of those folks a week ago.) That's the magic of Yuletide, though. I wonder if I'll want to participate again, after taking this year off?

On the whole, I'm not feeling particularly feverish about fandom lately; I'm more in the mood for character studies and rare characters/fandoms than OTP epics, so that's seasonally appropriate. :) Although, I did just finish listening to the entirety of Harry Potter (as read by Stephen Fry) again while comicking, and I could go for some of that, I think. The only trouble is, I really have no idea where to look anymore. /o\

I've been severely haphazard about my DW/LJ reading during the last few months, naturally. I hope you're all well! I've missed you. ♥

CONGRATS ON FINISHING!!! It's great to be done with a big task, isn't it?

Yuletide is open till Friday, and I plan to take all that time to decide whether or not to participate. I...shouldn't. I have so many incomplete/unstarted Secret Santas.

Do you know if you can pinch hit without participating? :)

Last year you could pinch hit without participating as long as you had an AO3 account.

God, yes, it really is. :)

You've always been able to pinch hit without participating before, I think. Are you on the mailing list?

[lilacsigil]

I nominated glockgal's comics, so I'm sad they didn't make it in.

I can't understand it, really. I suppose they really didn't? I'm not just missing them on that giant list?

I looked really hard - and I'm a tagwrangler for AO3, so I had access to the early lists - but it wasn't there. Maybe I should have argued for it, but I was sick and not doing anything those days. Bah.
