Jan Hits The Fan

 Dear Chocolatier! 

I’m looking forward to your gift immensely! I love the idea behind this exchange and for me it's the kick-off for a new season of exchanges, which makes it all the more fun! I’ve written the following letter as a sort of buffet so you can pick and select whatever catches your fancy and write something we’ll both enjoy. I love both shorter fic and longfic. Specifically for this exchange, which is supposed to be low-pressure, feel free to write a snap-shot for any of my longer and plottier prompts. I'm just bad at writing short ones, I don't expect an Epic. I’m a firm believer in Optional Details are Optional, so as long as you respect my few DNWs it’s going to be great! 

If you feel the urge to learn more about me, I can be found on AO3 as Pameluke and on tumblr as janoda and lately I've been known to tweet at janoda.

I didn't do a WIP post yesterday since I'm frantically working on my jukebox_fest these days, and that's supposed to remain secret. The deadline is so close! Eeek! There's a lot of other stuff happening though, so I figured I'd do a shout out post.

wipbigbang is on its second round of Claims for artists. (My story has already been claimed YAY. That means I definitely need to finish it on time o.O *insert panicky kermit*) There's still over 60 stories free for a good artist, so check out the claiming post on LJ.

Nominations for raremaleslashex  are closing soon as well. I'm definitely doing The Get Down, Kate Daniels, Naruto (KakaGai yo!) and The Course Of Honour, but I haven't figured out my Original Work nominations yet.

Sign-ups are also happening for treatyoselfcomm , which is a fest where you write a fic for yourself, and ancquire a cheerleader in the process. I'm really excited about it. Definitely check that out.

Also open for sign-ups is pod_together , where you can sign up as a podficcer or an author (or both!) and create a podfic together. It's loads of fun, and one of the best-run challenges/fests I've ever seen. This year is the first time I'm not signing up as part of a group, so I'm kind of nervous about matching.

Speaking about podfic, hagar made a podfic out of ever the tears you wept. I'm really honored, because that's one of my personal favorite stories, and podfic is one of the best gifts you can get. It's the whole reason I have blanket permissions, I love it so much. 

Anyway, it's looking like it's going to be a super busy summer, and that's not even counting the getyourwordsout  7 days 7 Stories event that's taking place in June. I'm excited! And possibly a teensy bit worried I'm overextending myself, but fuck it, I'm going to try and kick ass!

I really should write one of these before 2016 is already halfway, so no more procrastinating, today is the day!

Anyway, 2015 was the year I got back into writing, both for myself (original work), as fannish writing. It'd been a couple of hard years, whith zero creative output of any kind, and I'm just so happy I'm back into the mood.

What's more, I'm actually pretty happy with the things I wrote. I won NaNoWrimo, and the first draft of my original novel is about half way, and I also participated in Trick or Treat and Yuletide. Plus I finally wrote some Spartacus Femmeslash, which was so overdue. If you take into account I only started to write again in Oktober, then ending up with about 75k of written words ain't bad.

Take that depression!
