chocolatepot: Graph with "Technology 100%" (Technology 100%)
I haven't posted any fic in months - just a couple of podfics - because I was writing a lot of meaty stuff for JanuAUry. And now it's JanuAUry! My first one, Fantabulosa, went up today - set in Edwardian London, Ed is the most renowned female impersonator and Stede also kind of wants to go on the stage. Next up is the Ladyhawke AU!! I rewatched Ladyhawke today to try to find a piece of dialogue to use as a title and unfortunately there are literally no memorable lines in the entire thing? I'm making graphics for each fic - you can see the Fantabulosa one here on BlueSky.

I have very slowly got most of a pocket done in my wool skirt, but then I realized that I actually left spaces for TWO pockets! I have to do another pocket!! 😩 And the seamstress who relined my coat said very definitively that she won't do finishing for my sewing projects because she also hates doing buttonholes.

Felt very weird this afternoon. Not sick, but ... on Tumblr I described it as a slow-rolled panic attack, because that's the closest I can get to describing it. It just sort of hit me, how sad it's going to be to leave Oneonta and my house, I love them both, and all because of a Skinny Bitch who views herself as downtrodden because she sometimes can't make everyone do everything she wants, and takes it out on me.

Edit: Huh, had an interesting thought in the shower. Our most recent conflict is about (I think) me not handling a recent donation by the official procedure, but for the past ... year, maybe two? we have not been handling any donations and purchases by the rules. And I say "we" but I mean the curators. But I'm the only safe target, so she rips me to shreds with the curators instead of making the point that we need to get back on track as a group.

Been away so long DW logged me out again ...

Not much going on IRL, as ever. I've been allowed to do an exhibition of quilts - only to be up in December, so a lot of work for little gain, but it's better than nothing. Hopefully it gets good visitation to prove that non-painting stuff in the collection is valuable. 🙄 Though unfortunately I think TPTB already do think forms of folk art other than paintings are valuable, so this wouldn't make them do a turnaround on historic artifacts in general.

The fashion/textile curator position I applied for in San Francisco got canceled. Not fair! I didn't want to move to the west coast, but still - second time this has happened. I would like to be interviewed. I think I could kill an interview.

I finished a knitting project!!! Really like this yarn. I bought it at a trunk show locally and so I get to feel a little extra smug about it because I got it straight from the indie dyer.

I spent all of October going crazy about OFMD season 2 (and what a season it was) and writing fics for OFMD Kinktober (as well as a couple for Whumptober) - most of them not actually pornfic. Now I'm working on a handful of prompts for a January AU challenge, trying to make them solid fics in and of themselves by starting so far ahead rather than making 1-2k pieces that just dip a bit into the AU aspect as I usually do. The first one is set in the world of turn of the century music hall female impersonators, as you do. There's also a Ladyhawke AU all plotted out. An epistolary fic based on an AITA post. Several others that are just in the idea stage right now.
