so maybe i write guardian fic now

Which was always bound to happen once I finished the show, given… pretty much everything about it, but in typical brain-pinball fashion this also means the neurons have gotten overexcited and zoomed off in too many directions at once. Not great for actually finishing anything, tbh, but hopefully recording bits of it down will straighten things out at least.

Also that "maybe" is technically inaccurate since I've already posted these two ficlets of Murderbot AU and literal-spirit-of-the-city!ZYL respectively, the further adventures of which are also *gestures vaguely* somewhere in this brainsoup.

not that I have a great track record with these, but

Challenge #2

In your own space, set some goals for the coming year. They can be fannish or not, public or private. Leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your post if you feel comfortable doing so.

Sticking to just a list of my main priorities for this year rather than specific targets, because I've got the kind of squeaky brainwheels that will immediately refuse to Do The Thing if… well, told to do so.

• Build more personal relationships at work especially now that we're (tentatively) starting to go back to the office. Frankly I think I've done not-too-bad on this front so far especially given how little I've actually seen my colleagues, and it doesn't personally bother me that most of them only contact me for work stuff, but one sometimes does need buddies to eat lunch with.
• Also on the work front, start sounding out what I need to do for a raise and/or promotion…?
• Exercise more, by which I mostly mean walking a lot. Though starting to commute again will already contribute to this.
• Try to figure out how to actually get myself rested on weekends – in between work and family obligations the last quarter of 2021 especially has been Very Bad for this (some of it due to circumstances that I don't foresee changing anytime soon, alas, but at least I need to start taking leave days for myself and not just to run household errands).
• Fandom-wise, hahahahaha, no. The only plans there are to continue the spirit of "I do this thing called what I want". And ideally continue chipping away at clearing out the eternal WIP fic stack, but that's already a given.
