Sophinisba Solis

Well, I think I'm going to sign up for springtime_gen, a Harry Potter genfic exchange. Would any of you like to join me? (Or try to talk me out of signing up so I can write something else like I don't know maybe my dissertation?) Writing up my sign-up and thinking about what kind of fic I'd like to read or write reminded me of several HP gen fics I started last summer and didn't finish, so I've taken those out and am now close to finishing two of them. Would any of you like to beta? I could especially use a Britpicker for the longer one (maybe around 2500 words) and someone who knows French for the shorter one (less than 1000 words), though I also have someone I could probably e-mail about the French thing. Yay, writing! This is a nice feeling!

In other news, we are looking for ficlet recs (anything less than 1000 words but not exact drabbles) at lotr_fic_recs. I know a lot of people on my f-list like reading and writing drabble sets and other short fics. This could be a nice time to give some of those short fics some recognition, rather than the long ones that tend to get recced a lot. :)

When I was going through old entries for that meme yesterday I came across a "don't forget we have this challenge!" post that was meant to go on lotr_fic_recs but that I had posted to my own journal by accident. I'd answered three or four comments here and everything and never realized the post was in the wrong place lol.

Thanks to danachan, claudia603, lilybaggins, aprilkat, absolutefiction, and mews1945 for making my fics better and for giving me the encouragement I needed to post them, and to keep writing. ETA: Also thank you geniusartist!

If there's anyone I've left out, please forgive me but also please tell me. Come to think of it, thanks to all the lovely people who have read and commented on my stories.

In other news, my landlord came and fixed the heat in our apartment today. Hurrah.
