selenayI'm reluctantly conceding that I may have to talk to someone about my migraines after losing most of Saturday and part of Sunday to one :-( Blergh. At least I'd done all the important stuff (like buying comics, cleaning the house and baking brownies) on Friday.
In more cheerful thoughts...
I am up for auction! Well, my writing is :-D I'm taking part in an auction to help with the AO3 fundraising. Win the bidding on me and I'll write a bespoke story to whatever prompt your heart might desire. Although, as I'm still on my Avengers kick, that does mean it needs to be an Avengers story :-D
The auction has been open for less than 24 hours and runs until April 25th and some authors are already waaaaay outside my price range. Wow. The bidding war is going to get intense for some people.
The incredible thing is how many people signed up as authors - over three hundred of us in dozens of fandoms. This is going to put a nice chunk of change into the AO3 coffers so we can continue to Have Nice Things and watch the archive grow. It's been so cool watching the AO3 grow from a seed of an idea into one of the main fanfic sources for so many fandoms. The idea that we own the servers, as a massive fandom group, so there's a real chance for preserving our history and being a major resource for years to come is amazing.
So yes, go and bid. Not necessarily on me (because there are some fantastic authors on the list), but if you've got something you've been itching for me to write then go and put your money down :-D
I said in my notes that I'd be writing a minimum 2k fic. I'd like to point out that there's an excellent chance that you'll get a much longer fic than that. Just take a look at my track record: the circus AU was supposed to be around 5k, the mechanic AU was supposed to be around 2k. If the prompt is fun and interesting enough, I turn out a novella instead of a short fic :-D I made the smaller commitment because I know that I'm currently writing the space pirate AU and I'll be signing up to the![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
marvel_bang next month and I didn't want to overcommit and fail.
But last year during Marvel Big Bang, I wrote a 20k AU and multiple shorter fics (er, plus a 10k 5 Things fic) as 'fun breaks' from Big Banging. When I'm writing something big and intense, I tend to go off and write fun stuff to keep myself from going insane and sometimes they end up as long as the big intense fic I was distracting myself from.
My writing process, it is odd and highly productive.
