Dusting off a 20,000 word WIP, this is much more reasonable to work with. 😂
Also it starts on Christmas so I thought it might be fun to see if there's anything to it and get it posted this month. We'll see. I need to find a title for it, dammit. I hate coming up with titles.

The fact that I never pay attention to the little square icons on AO3 (seriously, they don't even register for me) or to ratings of fic means I really struggle with figuring out where the line is between "Teen" and "Mature" when labeling my stories. No freaking clue.

Reread this yet again, it really may be my favorite post-Endgame fic. This Old Steve makes sense to me as he had plans for fixing things post-Snap (& saving Bucky in the past). Makes sense of canon things I hate & makes them work somehow. The slow build and slow pace is perfect too.
Speaking of Stucky, I'm really going to try to start adding bookmarks to my bookmark rec collection for all things MCU.
Yesterday I reread "Slow and Splendored" by eyres (with art by alby_mangroves) & it's definitely one of my favorite post-Endgame fix-it fics:

Anyway.
Far too amused by Sebastian Stan holding a t-shirt gun and defaulting to holding it like Bucky would which is not how you shoot t-shirts at people buddy.
Also I did a Sebastian Stan search to see if anyone had posted the pic of him with someone cosplaying as Bucky's arm. 😂

There is so much gay romance TV out there, she yells into the wind. It's just not in English, she screams.

I may have a problem. (Dusted off another old WIP and finished it and posted it. Why am I like this?)
(I joked about dumping a million words of fic on a small fandom/ship but it may end up not so much being a joke if I keep this up.)

Seriously what the fuck was that 20,000 word chapter. (Finally may have finished the second half though I need to look at it with fresh eyes in the morning and read it over first. Uff da.)
Thinking "good lord it is taking forever to revise this chapter" and then I finally checked the word count and it is nearly 20,000 words. Uh. I think I'm splitting it in half WTF, past me. (I was dividing into chapters based on days so now there will be Day 5, part 1 & Day 5, part 2 good grief.)

When you discover a typo in the summary for something you've had up on AO3 for weeks (or months). And it's a mistake that annoys you when others make it!
(It was supposed to say "loose" and instead there was "lose" whyyyyyy. I don't reread summaries the way I do the actual fic I guess.)

Got a fourth one of these in two days. This time the comment was "This concept has all the makings of a legendary comic. I’m currently open for commissions" and then a link to their Discord. (sigh.) (Deleted the comment & blocked the user whose account was created yesterday.)
So people showing up to comment on your fic on AO3 in a generic way then asking if you want to commission art is a thing, I guess? Ugh.

I wish there was a way to not allow comments on AO3 until someone has had an account for more than a day (or week) because I seem to get vague weird kind of spammy comments from accounts created no more than a day ago.

Me: "Huh, this story got Kudos a lot faster than the others."
Light eventually dawned that of course a 7,000 word story would have kudos roll in faster than a 25,000 or 100,000 word thing sheesh.

I really need to just grab all the "good parts" from my various WIPs and then see if I can cobble them together into one good fic so I can then let them all go. (Read a few today trying to see which ones are worth cleaning up & finishing.) I don't think this would work though. (sigh.)
