Once upon a time, there were three brothers. Their land could not hold all their egos, so they divided their kingdom into three. One ruled over the elves, one over the goblins, and the third over wizards.

T.S. Eliot, "Preludes"

I

The winter evening settles down

With smell of steaks in passageways.

Six o’clock.

The burnt-out ends of smoky days.

And now a gusty shower wraps

The grimy scraps

Of withered leaves about your feet

And newspapers from vacant lots;

The showers beat

On broken blinds and chimney-pots,

And at the corner of the street

A lonely cab-horse steams and stamps.

And then the lighting of the lamps.

Every time I read a Captain America fic where Steve and/or Bucky are sad about how terrible modern television is, I want to force the writers to listen to daytime radio from the 1930s for several days straight.

(Steve probably did this, when he was sick. Steve probably thinks Coulson’s taste in...

fandom/writing goals 2015

I have very boring new year's resolutions involving staying in my job and making healthy lunches and using my gym membership (and I don't care how yuppie that sounds, it's amazing that I'm even in a position to type things like "gym membership" and maybe if I can hang onto these external markers of "success" I can survive a bit better in this bullshit system etc ect and also have nice lunches)

but anyway, I wanted to set out some separate writing/fandom goals as well. so, in 2015, I would like to:

get back into the habit of writing regularly: set aside daily time before work, and during commute, to work on writing stuff (whether that's actual words or planning or brainstorming or ????)

pick an unfinished/unstarted fic every month and make a proper effort towards finishing it (I have too fucking many things on the "to write" list it's disgusting)

READ MORE, BUTAN MORE. read the fics in my goddamn 'marked for later'. give myself proper time of an evening to sit down with a cup of tea/whiskey and digest stories properly and comment thoughtfully instead of hurried phone-reading on the train

spend more time in fannish company* for mutual writing support and general good times

*online and off - if UK-based or travelling-through friends ever fancy a writing date HIT ME UP

good luck, me. good luck, all of you, with any resolutions/goals for 2015!
