Decisions and Travels
Dec. 20th, 2022 01:11 pm
I decided the best way to get the Burn Notice fic out of my brain is to write the bloody thing. It's only going to be short, so it won't take too long, though it does involve some research. I could skim over that stuff and ignore the detail, except once again I'm writing for a fandom stuffed with incredibly detail-oriented characters (and then there's me, yes, I'm detail-oriented too). So the fic is currently slightly under 2000 words and I have a bunch of open Firefox tabs.
All of this will be interrupted by the fact that it's Christmas in a few days, and I'm off on a diving trip on December 28th, so it won't get finished until mid-late January. Then I'll have to hope there's someone among my trusted people to beta a no-sex BDSM fic in a small fandom for a series that ended in 2013. Heh. (Yes, there'll be a readership of about 10 for this thing. Why am I fussing over the details again? Because I'm me, that's why.)
In other news, I was over in the mountains yesterday for the Cle Elum Christmas Bird Count. There was a foot of snow, with more falling through the morning, and it was cold. 12F to 18F through the day (-11 to -7C). It looked beautiful as always, but those conditions don't inspire the birds to be active, and the only places we found any numbers were at feeders or farms (also feeders, albeit unintentional ones). But as we said at the time, data of low numbers is still data.
