Wow, so it's been very much a non-starter year for fandom over here on my LJ. About a year ago I posted warning that this would likely happen and it seems I was right. The crazy thing is that said boss will be returning from his year-long break in five days, whereupon I anticipate I will have a little more free time again.

I've been a fandom lurker the past year, truth be told. There haven't been many weeks (although they did exist) when I didn't skim my flist. I fell upon and devoured many new fics by my favorite authors, and often (though not as often as I should have) even left comments. It seems everyone and their cat is now leaping on the Merlin bandwagon. Last time this happened on my flist, it was SGA, and it took me about a year to catch up. I've tried watching Merlin but can't get past the first half of the first episode before my ADD kicks in and I lose patience. But judging by all the lovely people now migrating there, I can guess it gets better?

In any case, about three weeks ago, working off pre-big-event work-related stress, I sat down and wrote, seriously, like 30 pages of John the gay!virgin porn. So it's safe to say I still have the writing itch. Whether it ever produces anything better than that crap, I can't say.

Anyway -- *waves* Hi fandom! I miss you!
