Hello

Nah, I had a seven-week streak of posting here once a week but fell behind once my job started to get busy. Sorry!

Anyway, here's a fannish thing, I signed up for the Marvel Femslash Drabble Exchange, a new marvelfemslashevents event! Signups are open until midnight Eastern time tomorrow (Saturday), and then they send out assignments right away and you get two weeks to write 100 words!

I'm looking forward to it. Sometimes I feel bad because I don't know anything about comics and I haven't watched the TV shows but I still was able to offer 44 different ships. Maybe I will make some extra things, maybe not, but I believe I can do one drabble and then I will have written more than one fic in 2019. Whoo!

The Friday Five

Okay here is another post! Through sasha_feather I just found the comm thefridayfive, which posts five questions for you to answer in a post every week.

1. What would you do if you won the lottery?
So I read the article What should you do if you win the lottery? Start a foundation. on Vox last year and I know it's meant as criticism of the way foundations work in US tax law but to be honest I'd probably try to do that, but give myself a smaller salary than is suggested there.

I think I'd also try to keep a version of my current job but like, without the sucky parts of it? I don't want to go into the details in an unlocked post and idk it's possible but that's something I think about fairly often. A colleague of mine did that her last year before retiring: just the fun stuff. Just the stuff we thought this job would be when we got into it.

2. What era do you wish you had lived in?
I do not wish to have lived in a past era but like sasha_feather am interested in the future.

3. What kind of robot would you want?
I expressed a lot of my robot sex feelings my Morgana/Lancelot fic Reset, which feels a little weird to say because Morgana is in a really terrible place in that fic, but I guess that's part of it, I would have really mixed feelings about having a robot (especially if I were in love with Gwen and Gwen had left me for my brother). Also I would really like to have a robot that could kill bugs for me, like Morgana does in that fic.

4. What would you outsource if you could?
I would like it if someone else would kill bugs in my house and keep the floor clean. I can handle most of the other cleaning. There are parts of my job I wish I didn't have to do but I also can't really see giving them to anyone else, alas.

5. What superpower do you wish you had?
I do not wish to have any superpowers but I wish that my body worked and felt more like it did about 10 years ago. I would like to be less tired, and for my stomach and knees and toe not to hurt.
