As most of you who follow along here know, I had planned on posting for my flash fic on Friday, December 28, a little tale based on It’s a Wonderful Life.
However, as I realized increasingly that life commitments and trying to do other stuff was going to prevent me from being anywhere close to finishing the original story intended for the T’hy’la Bang, I realized, even as the “check-in email” arrived that I was going to have to either withdraw or submit something else I could write real fast or was already well into meeting the word requirements. The last T’hy’la Bang required 10,000 words, I believe, and this one only requires 2,000. Wonderful Life is over 3,000 so it suits.
The bad news is that story, originally planned, needs to be put aside for now. I will write it, but after the holidays and after some other stories get updated, etc.
My Devotion received its update today.
I have the first January flash fic planned to be Pinto-related. So that left me afloat as to what to post December 28th. I quickly wrote something up for that called “First Footing” and it’s ready to go. But it has also occurred to me that it could work for part of a fic someone requested from me, so we shall see. I might post it only here and not on AO3 until I decide its ultimate fate.
In the meantime, at home I am not really writing. I’ve been online shopping (favorite pastime), watching Christmas movies, and cuddling with M and Luna. Yes, she has become unbearably spoiled.
This coming weekend I have a Christmas party on Sunday afternoon and everything. I think it will be fun. We shall see.

Sounds….irritatingly logical. I’m definitely ridiculously intrigued by the It’s a Wonderful Life thing for Jim. That NEEDS to be written. We’ve needed it for almost a decade. Thanks for finally filling that gap.

You do an amazing job at writing really wonderful Spirk stories. If you need to change your schedule and plans around it is definitely understandable! Real life commitments and relaxation time definitely have to take precedent .
Enjoy your Christmas party! ❤
