My girlfriend is visiting (woohoo!).
I'm hosting thanksgiving dinner on Friday night so that my wife and her girlfriend can do a long weekend away doing Mine Exploration, and also because I wanted to pick the date (I like thanksgiving dinner. It's like doing Autumn Equinox but with bonus winter squash in everything AND my Pagan ass gets a long weekend out of it).
I may do a menu post in a little bit about that, we'll see.
I'm slogging through my novel draft.![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
sexy_romulan has kindly read the first half, and we'll see what she says in another week or three. It's... I have Big Concerns about pacing. And also concerns that I may need to change which month it's set in due to all the Jewish kids who probably have Family Stuff to do in October (which would not be the end of the world, and might make things a little easier). There are locations and characters that will need to be removed or merged or something I think (one of them I've already done, but that will make a couple of changes necessary in a pivotal earlier scene or three).
ANYWAY.
In between hanging out with my girl and working on this book, I watched Arcane - a short cartoon series, with at least one more season in the works, based on a video game of all things - and was Very Interested in the definitely gay, definitely traumatized main character.
So. Fanfic:
The One Place All the Secrets Are Spilled (Babette reflects on life in the Lanes after Vander died).
+
Don't You Want to Blend In? (Part 1 of (so far) 2, Caitlyn PoV starting at the back door of Babette's Boudoir)
Learning Curve (Part 2 of (so far) 2, Caitlyn PoV)
+
Five Time That Vi Didn't Kiss Caitlyn and One Time That She Did (Vi PoV of canon events + a LOT of personal headcanon backstory).
I kind of want to write one or two more. Mostly exploring things like "How sanitation works - or doesn't - in the Undercity" and to potentially flesh out some of my recurring OCs as well.
Anyway. That's what I've been up to.
