Squee! A dS F/K ficlet for meeeeeeee! Will read this after work tonight when I can read with no workplace distractions!

Also yays for you making it a combo of dsc6dsnippets and the RCW 139 Challenge! I myself am finding that combo to be very inspiring and plan to do more like that!

And furthermore: I got the gift!fic notice from AO3 and now also I see the link posted here and the dS noticeboard. Seeing your having posted the link in your DW and the noticeboard makes me aware that I am several fics behind in posting what I've written in recent months.

Well, thank you for letting me know about the RCW 139 challenge! I've enjoyed writing for it (and it's provided much needed "me time" during a really stressful past week). *cheers you on for posting all the fics you're behind on posting about*

[ride_4ever]

Still behind on posting announcements about fic I've uploaded to AO3 and I'm appreciating your cheerleading! Also I have three -- meep! THREE! -- very active RCW 139 ficlet WIPs going.

[verushka70]

THREE!? Wowza! You go! Go write those WIPs! ✍️⌨️👍

It's really just a matter of having some UNDISTRACTED time for ficcing, away from current RL stuff that needs doing.

[verushka70]

That's true... UNDISTRACTED is key. 🫤

[ride_4ever]

Yeah, like I actually brought my laptop to work for the first time with the intention of writing at least some of my RCW 139 ficlets during my dinner break...and then...whoops...I didn't take my break and now I'm only one hour away from going-home time...where there's even more distractions.
