Been awhile since I've done one of these. Let's see:

1. I am mostly better! Or rather I'm at the point of being better where I am going around thinking "Is this as good as it gets? Did I regularly feel this cruddy before I was sick? Probably yes? But what if it's incrementally worse every time I think I'm back to baseline??" Anyway there went January; at least I have made a lot of afghan. Thanks to the people who added me on Ravelry! I was not planning to log my hooks or anything but then I accidentally anyway. Who wants to take bets on how long it takes me to cave and start logging stash?

2. TFW you mistype a URL and discover that in the last several months someone has made you a Fanlore entry, and then you see things listed as your important fanworks that you have 100% zero memory of (like, 'had to click through because I'm pretty sure they misattributed it' 0 memory, but nope that was def. me.)

3. I'm still working on a books of 2019 round-up, but looking over my Goodreads category, it occurred to me that nearly all modern fiction could be sorted, if one want to do that sort of thing, into A) books that have the thesis "No matter how different a character's external circumstances are, when it comes down to it deep inside they're all people just the same" and B) books that have the thesis "even though these characters' lives seem very mundane, deep inside they're very different from everyone else", and that books in category A I will probably like, and books in category B I will probably hate with a deep hate. (And that when I separate books into "genre" vs. "literary" that is roughly the division I am making.)

Discuss.

4. Wow, it seems like this is the Year of the Badass Adoptive Dad in fandom, between Baby Yoda and Cirilla and A-Yuan (and Jin Ling) and all their dads. It almost makes we want to go back to my old Valjean wips!

5. Oh, right: I have been reading SO MUCH MDZS fic. So much, y'all. I was going to add a bit here about how odd it is that I've read canon and read a ton of fic but have zero fic bunnies for it, which is super unusual for me, but turns out I'm writing psychic wolves AU for it suddenly, so who even knows?

(okay, I still don't have any other fic bunnies, but the two fics I want someone else to write and haven't found yet: WWX/LWJ PWP in which WWX's fondness for chili oil goes very wrong (you know LWJ would just grit his teeth and not say anything if WWX grabbed the wrong lube); and post-canon where WWX really tries to come to terms with MXY's legacy [the one where he's pregnant with MXY's kid only half counts].)
