in two worlds

[aria]

Things I am doing instead of writing my Yuletide:

+ writing post-Covenant Nick/Alan
+ writing an odd Highlander/Young Wizards crossover in which Nita is trying to figure out whether she needs to stop the Gathering, and also is having tea with Methos
+ reading more Vorkosigan books
+ talking about absurd Killjoys/RocknRolla fusion fic with feverbeats

Things I am not doing instead of writing my Yuletide:

+ packing

I still love my Yuletide! And I am over word count, so that isn't an issue. I just have this absurd notion that my Yuletide needs plot, and the plot is being rather shy. Ah well. How goes everyone else's Yuletide writing?

OH HEY ME TOO, but uh, christmas knitting is important too right? That's what I keep telling myself, anyway.

I haven't even reviewed my source yet. Even though I can do that *while knitting*. eeesh. but my assignment was one line and my writer doesn't have a letter up and it's bugging me.

Christmas knitting totally is important too!

And oh man, I'm sorry! That happened to me once, although I did eventually get more specifics after crying at the mods. Hopefully this will happen for you too! And if not, hey, write whatever you are moved to write. <3

(PS, I adore that your name is WORRYINGLY JOLLY BATMAN. Is that recent or have I managed to miss it? And what's the story there?)

Yeah, it didn't really occur to me to write because I don't really want more fandom-specific detail, I just want to know about zir, but uh, maybe I will anyway.

It is recent! It's a quote from a recent issue of Batman & Robin. I don't know if you know this, but Bruce Wayne was dead for awhile and Dick Grayson became Batman and Damian Wayne, Bruce's illegitimate kid by Talia al Ghul who was raised by her and is a serious dick, became Robin. Bruce Wayne is back from the dead and is now, like, *franchising* Batman, which leads to this hilarious (and mid-firefight, of course) conversation between Dick and Damian. They have just busted into a church and Damian complained that they both used a funny line as they entered, which they should try not to do. Being a superhero isn't supposed to be for fun. Dick thinks they can have fun doing it anyway, which Damian thinks is an attitude he didn't have when Bruce was still dead (not really true - Dick definitely wasn't faking being Bruce. Any emotional downtick might just have been, you know, mourning his adoptive father ... but I digress.)

And then Damian asks, "Consider: hasn't the formation of Batman: Incorporated, the return of the original, given everyone license to be their own sort of Batman? In your case, worryingly jolly Batman?"

And I basically thought "worryingly jolly Batman" was the best thing ever BECAUSE IT TRANSPARENTLY IS.

...That entire story is so great I don't have WORDS. Dick Grayson: worryingly jolly Batman! Oh be still my heart. :DDD

It's not even Christmas knitting! It's a sweater for me; it doesn't have a deadline.

Well, that's important too. :P
