Soonish? I figured I'd have more free time after finals, and I do; it's just that I've spent most of it reading, catching up on TV, and sleeping--in other words, anything but writing.
That being said, I have worked a bit on each of my fics, and I'm hoping to get at least one finished and posted before the end of next week. Keeping a regular schedule has never been one of my strong points, but everything WILL get finished. That much I can promise.
In other news: I finally broke down and went to see Beauty and the Beast. And liked it very much. As usual, I really fell for the minor characters (Agathe, LeFou, and Mrs. Potts were my favorites). I'm still not a huge fan of Emma Watson as Belle, but I ended up liking Dan Stevens as Adam.

Finals are OVER. That is all.

Current Mood: drained

I've got finals scheduled pretty much every day for the rest of this week, so I'm probably not going to get a huge amount of writing done. That being said, I'd love to cook up some sort of monthly fic rec post, and I've got two fics in the works (both Marvel) that I'd really like to finish before too long. We'll see.

Current Mood: tired

Because I realized I should do a better job of introducing myself. Here are four (hopefully interesting) facts about me and the stuff I like.

• I’ve been writing more or less steadily for about nine years. Most of that time I worked on original fiction (and most of it wasn’t very good). I’ve only just started writing fanfic, though I’ve been reading it for a couple years. Currently my favorite fandoms are Daredevil, Pacific Rim, and Jessica Jones. That said, I’m not picky; if something’s well-written I’ll probably like it.
• My favorite drink of all time is Sprite. Especially grape-flavored Sprite.
• Crack pairings give me life. If a couple has no chance of ever getting together in canon (think Matt/Jessica or Foggy/Elektra), chances are I probably ship them. And in the end, it’s not about actually wanting an insane pairing to be canon—I just like imagining situations in which that kind of relationship just might work out. (Other favorites: Trish/Malcolm and Mako/Newt.)
• My favorite colors are yellow, green, blue, purple, and pink. The Outsiders is one of my absolute favorite books. Logan broke my heart in the best possible way. I’m in college, hoping to teach high school English once I get out. I like emotional stories full of family drama and complicated female characters. I like complicated characters, period.

Don’t be afraid to say hi! I’m sometimes shy, but I do love meeting new people. :)
