Writing and Other Updates

singedsunI have NEVER in all my years of fandom signed up for something like equityauction. I've never done the fandom auction thing before, I'm really wondering if there's something I'd be able to write this. But the last year or so has been stretching my own writing for fandom muscles. So maybe it's something I SHOULD do. Of course I don't write a lot of "popular" fandoms, which is why I haven't done these in the past. IDK
People who have done fandom auctions before, how have they gone for you. Have you sold stories, how'd it go, did you get strange requests or requests you felt like you couldn't write? Did you not sell anything at all? Mostly I'm curious about the answers to this. Have you offered and just never sold anything?
I haven't done much writing at all recently. I finished my![[community profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png)
jukebox_fest story, but that's about all I've done. I did start my intoabar story, but it's not done yet. I have plans though to finish it this week. I FINALLY have some time off Thursday/Friday and the following Monday of the week. Time off I desperately need, but also time off to write and play the new The Last of Us game when it comes out on Friday. I'm hoping I can pick it up that day from somewhere close by, like our Target. I don't pre-order games anymore, they never get here on time for me to start playing the day it comes out. Which I badly want to do without supporting a place like GameStop. ANYWAY.
I've almost finished (finally) my playthrough on Assassin's Creed Odyssey at 130+ hours. I adore this game so much that I kind of want to be completionist about it, which is not normally like me. But the game will continue to randomly generate quests for you in areas when you go back to them, and it's hard to turn those down when they're quick and dumb fun. I've also only got like two major story bits left to go, which I know I could knock out quickly if I really wanted to. Then it's just a matter of exploring and other quests and seeing what kind of trophies I can unlock.
As I mentioned in my New Music Friday post, I've also put my desktop computer back together in my new office location upstairs. I'm really enjoying it thus far, and I think it'll help me get back to writing most of all. I was really getting tired of writing in my cramped vanity space on my very small laptop. While I was on the bad tophiramate med for my migraines, I developed some severe nerve responses in my shoulders and upper arms which progressed into my forearms just as I was coming back down off of it. The new set up which lets me spread out at my desk has really helped eliminate it completely but I know my former work layout was definitely contributing to that pain.
Anyway, I'm also now in a room where the whole wall is basically a green screen. It's just the color we painting the walls forever ago when we were first preparing to have foster kids in the house. We wanted something fun and bright and this grass green color seemed perfect. Little did we know that people would be spending all that money on green screen curtains just a few years later as streaming really took off. We were just ahead of our time. :D
I've also got some more horror movie round-ups coming soon. My tolerance for bad horror movies is very high at this point. And I've watched some real stinkers through this process. Prime has a great source of both good and bad, but I might also expand to some of the Blumhouse movies on Hulu that I haven't yet watched. I've appreciated their quality before, better than some of these Prime ones.
