Fic and Life

quinaraFirst of all, for the records, I posted a fic at ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
sb_fag_ends: Breathing at Your Side, set in AtS S5, about 700 words with no AO3 warnings. In which Spike and Buffy are in secret communication...
Otherwise, I'm slightly worried that I have another plot bunny forseasonal_spuffy, which came about after wondering what I could find to write about Spike in S7 - I feel like most of my major things recently have been about Buffy, so wanted to get back in Spike's head. It is, dare I say it, not based on tropes I've seen before and I'm reasonably excited about it. I have no idea whether I'll have it finished by April, nor whether I should post it on the same day as the other anyway, since it'll probably be at least over 10K in terms of words and the other fic I have has settled at around 24K...
The main problem with this, anyway, is that I think that the words/ideas are coming because I'm feeling slightly burned out/tired of my course at the moment, but my brain is in good enough shape that it's still ticking over - it's just retreated to something less stressful, with less at stake. I'm a bit worried about this, because I still have a 4-5K word essay and my 10-12K thesis to write this year; I'm excited by the ideas, especially after a very productive supervision I had today, but the actual execution is feeling a tad mountainous.
Still, I did read Gilgamesh last week (in translation) - I recommend it highly! It is japes. And not very long at all.
PS. LJ is still buggering around with my comments; if I'm ignoring you or you just want something to appear in my inbox, do feel free to email me or hassle me via DW. I'm not sure it's worth risking LJ messenger, even, because I never check my inbox without a notification.
PPS. I'm thinking of changing my default icon to this one of Why Bird, at least on LJ. I know this shouldn't be an issue, but it would be an end of a proper era for the sheep... What do people think???? (She has a computer with the proto-internet on it! And tea cups with teddy bears!)
