Yuletide reveals are up!

I didn't participate officially, but I wrote three treats, and here they are.

Imperial Radch

Dark Watch - Something broke in her a thousand years ago, or maybe it broke when she came out of stasis. Maybe it was always broken and she just didn't know. [2270 wds, Seivarden & Mercy of Kalr]

Fragments - It was, Seivarden told herself later, the kind of stupid accident that could have happened to anyone. Not a terminal fuckup. Just wrong-place-at-wrong-time, that was all. The omens had been unlucky that day. She should've been more careful. [1800 wds; Seivarden, Breq, Mercy of Kalr, Medic]

I suppose neither of these are a big surprise given that I'd just read the books and there were quite a few people requesting it for Yuletide. The latter in particular is a very "me" kind of fic -- hurt/comfort floof, basically.


Nimona

a song for the new world order - Nimona comes home. [1700 wds, gen, post-canon]

This was a last-minute treat for one of the pinch hitters. I was looking through the pinch hitter request letters for something I was even vaguely familiar with, and decided to give this one a try.

All that end-of-year stuff

As I've done every year for the last decade, my progress on last year's creative goals and new goals for 2016 posts are up over at my realname LJ. (Which I do almost nothing with anymore, other than that.)

I am considering blowing away the Wordpress install on my pro site, doing a fresh install, and redesigning the site from the ground up. I think I've gotten much better at Wordpress in the last few years (I'm really happy with how the Lauren Esker site came out), and that one has just gotten clunkier and clunkier, and more and more ugly, hard to maintain, and cluttered with the detritus of past years' bad decisions. (WHY DID I THINK MULTISITE INSTALL WAS A GOOD IDEA, WHY.) I've been getting errors on the past few upgrades and the latest upgrade refused to install at all. Nuke and start over, y/n? I'd only be losing a couple dozen posts, and would have to redo a few things like my portfolio page from scratch, but the idea of starting over clean and fresh is awfully nice. And maybe I would do more with a fresh, nice, streamlined site than with an old, clunky site that isn't fun to use.

While pondering that idea, I spent this evening working on uploading the Kismet short comics to my Kismet site, since they no longer have a home now that Webcomicsnation is down (probably forever). I'm about half done so far. Am also thinking about posting them to Tumblr. Once they have a home, I want to start working on more of the half-finished ones.

And ... this year in fandom. I no longer do fanfic year-in-review posts since I started posting everything to AO3, where you can find all my fic. This year, fannishly: I fell out of MCU, fell into Agent Carter, stayed in White Collar despite some ups and downs, flirted with some smaller fandoms, and now seem to be going down a Star Wars path. Total fandoms written for this year: 12. (According to AO3's stats feature.) Looking forward to seeing what 2016 will bring.
