First Post Of 2011!

I had to think of something positive to post about, because what I first wanted to post was a crotchety-old-fangirl complaint about MPreg... but even through my crotchetiness I could recognise that that's not how I want to start off a new year.

I will also refrain from discussion of how a Pottersues thread just made me seriously question my positions on parental authority and What Children Read. (That will take more thinking-over.)

So! Positive things!

I am still trying to get through all the things I bookmarked from Yuletide, so my fic cup runneth over. :D

In RL I am frantically busy trying to wrap up a thousand things, so I haven't had much time for fannishness, but I'm more-than-halfway resolved that this year I will up the number of Fics I Have Written to a nice, even 10. Staring at that ugly "7" on my AO3 dashboard is just unpleasant. *makes face* I spend way too much time staring at my AO3 page. Way back when I was a bitty, isolated fan just discovering fic, I never dreamt that I would actually write any! Much less that I would write a Yuletide fic and get comments! I now understand other writers's love of comments more than I used to, though I think (hope) I'm still not quite as obsessive as some get...

Actually, I think I'm pretty unlikely to get out of hand, given I haven't even posted about the Yuletide fic I wrote. :D I meant to! *sheepish* If you're interested, go here and then go read -- that first link is almost the entirety of the canon, so it's not hard to get into. (However, there's lots more amazing stuff by this fabulous artist, and I tried to incorporate some of it in the fic but even if I failed you should check her out!)

Let's see, can I think of anything else?

Nope, I think that's it for this post. :D
