I've been planning to do a weekly WIP post for a while now, to keep myself motivated and to keep track of what I'm working on. I'm not the best at longer projects, mostly because I easily get distracted by new shiny fic ideas, and thus lose momentum with older ideas if I don't finish them right away.

One of the reasons I do so many exchanges is because the deadline makes me finish things while I'm working on it, but that doesn't fix the issue for fics I start on my own of course (my Scrivener project for Shadowhunters is like 80% unfinished fics, it's a tragedy).

Which is why I'm so happy with wipbigbang, as it allows me to finish the Space AU I started and would otherwise never have finished. It's a Games of Command by Linnea Sinclair fusion, in which Alec is a famous cyborg, and Magnus a warlock mercenary turned captain who've been on opposite sides of a war for a couple of years, but are now forced to work together. I already posted their first meeting as a prologue set about 7 years before the storyline I'm working on.

Thing is, one of my goals of this year is to publish a story every month, and since both jukebox_fest  and soulexchange posting dates are early june, I needed an extra story to post in May. Which means I've started a Alec/Magnus magical bonding PWP, but that also means that I now have to urgently finish three fics.

My best friends marries next week, so now I'm having all of the race to the deadline stress. Sometimes that's part of the fun, but we'll see how I feel about that next week!

So many Dear Author letters for exchanges, I’m always embarrassed about my long-windedness.

( Overal thoughts and goals for next year )

Ended up being a Leverage edition for me! 

Which I loved, because, well, my love for Leverage is strong and possibly neverending. On the other hand, I'm very much a multi-fandom person at heart, so I think I'm going to stick with offering and requesting different fandoms from now on. 

My gift was a superlovely character exploration of Parker, which I really liked. I'm all about introspective fic, and I love a tight focus on one specific character, so this was right up my alley.


I also wrote Leverage OT3, but chose to focus on all three of them. It was the first time writing the OT3, and I struggled a little bit with getting al their voices right, but I'm pretty happy with the end result. Also, I'm so used to writing in teensy tiny fandoms, the response has been slightly overwhelming. It's become my most popular fic in the span of less than a week. Leverage Fandom is really, really kind <3.
On a total random sidenote, all recipes mentioned in this fics are all things I've made myself, and find utterly delicious. I kind of wish there was a food challenge/exchange where it's all about characters cooking various things, and includes recipes. Mmmmm. Fooooood.
