I plumb forgot I made any kind of a list of writing goals for this year. Needless to say, I've met none of them - but I'm not too sore about it, considering the goals were set when I anticipated needing something fun to work towards while I tried to get other things in order. Not that long afterwards I found out about the new job, and that has consumed a good 80% of my life ever since. A good reason to fall behind on creative output, in the end!

I have found myself wistfully turning over a few old worldbuilds lately. When oh when will I simply crack and start rough drafting. (We just don't know.)

What more to say. Hm. I found myself in the mood to catch up on the recent works of some old compatriots, and found them still as delightful as ever? I particularly enjoyed Nem's Destiny fic Infinite Chess, in which Eris defeats the Hive queen by making her a Guardian. It's classic Nem in both bold concept and thoughtful execution. Also, the extremely eldritch vibe.

Edit: Wait, I lie - I have met the goal of completing three fics this year, quite handily! Most are quite rough and/or niche, however, so I'll have to thumb through and see if there are any I wish to collate here.
