Never has this icon felt more appropriate, but...
I promised myself I would post today so y'all know I'm not dead, at least. Except I spilled hot fat over both my hands while making supper so typing is...not fun.
So I'll start with I hope you're all okay, and I'm sorry I've failed to notice if you're not. I've not been on DW much...or online much...for the past week or two.
Anyhow. I will at some point manage to post about my experience at Roadhouse Con - the short version is I had a fabulous time, but I won't be going next year due to the location change. I'm sure Northampton is very nice but it's not easy for this non-driver to get to.
After I got home from the con I got...um...best way to describe it is an infected injury, on my back. This is one reason I haven't been posting because it made sitting at the PC kinda painful. It's been all I can do to keep up with stuff I'd committed to; posting in my own journal as well was too much. It's mostly cleared up now - to the point where it's no longer painful, at least. (Which is no doubt why I just burned myself - Karma? I must have done something really bad last month.)
The powers-that-be where I work have also blocked most of our internet access, including most of Dreamwidth (but not LJ! It's a conspiracy, I tell you!). Now, the specific job I do means I need full internet access, including access to many sites that would be blocked for most people in our workplace, so I will get my access back. But they're taking their own sweet time about it even though they've got director-approval on file and I always did most of my journal reading from there. So I've missed a lot.
What else...I really wanted to sign up for ts secret santa this year, but looking over the requests posted there so far I really don't want to risk it. Doesn't anyone know how to write a prompt any more? I need specifics for a gift-fic, or my mind goes blank and I end up defaulting. So I guess it'll be Yuletide for me again this year...which is cool; Yuletide is fun, and now it's on AO3 I like it even more.
Oh, and I signed up for![[community profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png)
intoabar again. Despite the predictable assignment I got last time (I knew when I listed True Blood as one of my fandoms I'd end up with Eric - so very boring), it's still a cool concept for a ficathon. Pick a character from any fandom you like. List up to four other fandoms from which you'll be assigned a (supposedly) random character. Write a fic about the two characters meeting in a bar. It's so simple...and so much fun to see some of the crossovers the first round produced.
Mm. I'm off in search of more ice for my hands. Ow!
