How are you all? I have missed you all like CRAZY! Why do I keep letting life keep me away? WHYYYYYY?!?! I certainly don't mean to. Not even a little.
But, school is killing me.
Work is killing me.
I find relief in fandom things... but only have the time to consume it and let it fill my head with fantasy and whatnot. it doesn't give me time to interact with it, to create anything from it.
Hardly ever.
But, I am trying (again) to change that. I'm forcing myself to do things that I enjoy instead of just the things I have to do.
Things like:

Yep, once again, I am participating (and modding a bit) this glorious fest! It really does help me connect with my fandom self and it's great to also reconnect with the other old timers while meeting new lovelies. ♥
The first day was to update the profile or intro post. But my update last year is still painfully accurate so it stays.
I'm also toying with participating in this fest

Which brings me to Yuletide ♥ The only real writing I do some years (this year I also did some Veronica Mars writing WHA?!?!?! but more on that later.) This year I wrote a weird little ditty in The Good Place fandom--see if you can spot the fusion hint in the title. ;)
Where No One Knows Your Name (1740 words) by tjs_whatnot
Chapters: 1/1
Fandom: The Good Place (TV)
Rating: Teen And Up Audiences
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Characters: Janet (The Good Place), the Judge (The Good Place)
Summary:
An infinite Jeremy Bearimys later, Janet moves on.
And then, I found someone nominated and requested the silliest 80s movie that I loved a ridiculous amount when I was in highschool. It had Dolly Parton and Sylvester Stallone and it was so bad that it was good. How could I not write something that only one person would ever read? I mean, really, how?!
Spaghetti Westerns (1355 words) by tjs_whatnot
Chapters: 1/1
Fandom: Rhinestone (1984)
Rating: Teen And Up Audiences
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Relationships: Jake Farris/Nick Martinelli
Characters: Jake Farris, Nick Martinelli
Summary:
Now what?
And since I'm here and since I'm talking about fics that only one person might read--and because they're awesome so more people should, here's what I received from Yuletide this year:
I Like That (1146 words) by Perilous_Grey
Chapters: 1/1
Fandom: She-Hulk: Attorney at Law (TV)
Rating: General Audiences
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Relationships: Matt Murdock/Jennifer Walters
Characters: Matt Murdock, Jennifer Walters
Summary:
“We are not having sex in my childhood bedroom.”
Alright, so there were far better ways to start a conversation. Let alone one about any potential bed-rocking that may or may not occur within the four walls of her parents’ slice of suburbia, having finally escaped said parents and the well-meaningly torturous barbeque she and Matt had been forced to endure.
But boundaries were important in relationships no matter their current up in the air status, and, well, there were just some lines that never needed to be crossed. Toed, however…
There were actually a handful of She-Hulk fics that were awesome, but I'm partial to this one because it was EVERYTHING I could want. ♥ ♥
Vista (1800 words) by Ladybug_21
Chapters: 1/1
Fandom: The Way (2010)
Rating: General Audiences
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Characters: Tom Avery, Sarah Marie Sinclair, Joost Michael de Witt, Jack Emerson Stanton
Additional Tags: Post-Canon, El Camino de Santiago de Compostela, Found Family
Summary:
Nearly two years after standing on the rocks of the Costa da Morte in Muxía with his fellow peregrinos, Tom receives a package from Dublin.
I request this movie any chance I get (after I also nominate it) but I NEVER imagine getting a story for it. ♥ And this one was so perfect! ♥
And speaking of things I request every year and never expect to receive anything for:

Summary:
Three points of view on the same relationship.
Okay, back to me. ;) (Just in case I flake again and don't get the opportunity to drop more links. Here are some other things I wrote this year. All in the Veronica Mars fandom--seriously, if someone had told me a few years ago that all I'd write in a year was Veronica Mars I would have... well, I would have no idea what you are talking about as I had never heard of that show, but... here we are.
An angsty Dick and Veronica post Season 4 fic that is told in almost drabble form:
The Dude Abides (2373 words) by tjs_whatnot

Summary:
There's a moment when none of it is real...
And because apparently, I can't write in any new fandom without finding a way to bring White Collar into it. HAHA! (I might be writing a VM/WC fusion fic as we speak). ♥

And finally, my first attempt of sexy times (sort of) in this fandom. I can't believe it took this long...
Okay, I think that's enough to be getting through tonight/today. Thank you for reading. ♥

I'm forcing myself to do things that I enjoy instead of just the things I have to do. I don't know why this is so HARRRRRRRD, but WOW it really is. I've signed up to a challenge to post 50 fannish things this year - so just about 1 a week with a bit of grace, which I'm hoping will give my hind brain enough of an excuse to get into the habit of fannish posting regularly again (linked in my first post this year if you're interested)

YAY! I hope you enjoy it sometime in the near future. (i.e. a wish for life to go easy on you soon ❤️)
And that challenge sounds awesome and I'm totally going to ruminate on doing it as well. Just think, if you participate in all the days of Snowflake, you'll have 15 done in one month! 😱😱
