hoo boy.

I have never defaulted or dropped out of any fandom exchange, and I am damn well not quitting Yuletide. But holy shit, I have never pushed it this close to the end. I am...really, really not done yet. Fortunately, Mondays are my light days (I work only 6 hours, as opposed to 11+ hours every other day of the week -- this is not an exaggeration), so as soon as I get off work in like five minutes, I can go straight home and pound this thing out. UGH.

For the first time ever, I've joined the IRC chat, because it's the only way I can think of to find a beta who knows my fandom this last minute.

Seriously. This fic. It is not good. I feel all kinds of guilty about this, but trying to write it has been slamming my head repeatedly against a brick wall. Lately, writing has not been good to me; all my creativity is in vidding these days. Vids are really easy for me right now. Words, not so much. When did I become this person? I love writing. Just not recently.

BAH. HUMBUG.

How I hear you. Wow, it seems like Yuletide has been really hard on fandom this year. I don't know what it is, but wow. Good luck! You can kick it.

*cheerleads* You can do it. Sometimes, down to the wire gives you that rush of adrenaline that leads to a creativity burst.

And don't stress about the IRC chat - it's actually pretty helpful and nice. I think this was the first year I went there for a beta, and I was relieved at how stress free it was.

I'd probably be in that situation if I hadn't gotten a fandom I'm really into right now. I finished mine last night and uploaded but I find myself continually going back in and fiddling with it. It's 6100 words. That's six thousand, one hundred words. I wrote a 6100 word Yuletide fic. My person better love me.
