Some time ago, I saw on Tumblr a screenshot of this tweet by @JohnJpshanley:
Do you ever feel like you're in Season Five of your life, and the writers are just doing outrageous shit to keep it interesting?
My own take was that my series got cancelled and what I'm living out now is a 500k fix-it continuation fic - because everything is consistent with what went before, but...
- Everyone is queer now.
- And mentally ill and/or autistic.
- And much more self-aware than how they used to be.
...and so on.
(Although there's a lot less shipping than you usually get with fanfic. #aroace)
(probably aro, definitely ace - autochorissexual)
As my updated profile now says, I'm trans. Genderflux demigirl - some variable amount of 'female', as opposed to anything else. HRT is working really well for me - coming up on two years on. Will have to change some of my user icons.
Also, no longer a grad student.
I'm dealing.
Am writing a D&D story about a friendly soulless druid. Not for NaNoWriMo - aiming for "write words you feel good about and seek external validation from your friends", and that's maybe a fifth of the NaNo pace. Might post excerpts of it.
Peace, folx.
