Random things of interest:
1. Yuletide nominations are closed. Presumably the nominated fandoms will now be winnowed and/or corrected, and sometime soonish signups will open. I did not nominate any new fandoms, but I did renominate a few from previous years, and I expanded the character lists while I was at it. So that is my tiny little contribution.
-----
2. My current health insurance plan will cease to exist at the end of the year. Fortunately, my company has two new plans to offer. I am yet not sure which to choose, especially because it appears, based on the monthly premium figures vs. the deductions from my paychecks, that I have been getting a $23-per-week discount on my current plan (which I nonetheless cannot afford on my own), and I have to call the office to figure out how and why that is happening, and whether it will happen again for whatever new plan I choose.
-----
3. I wrote 250 words of "Secrets" ch. 14 tonight. Ginny and Daphne are meant to be arranging a truce, complete (perhaps) with grudging half-complete apologies on both sides. Getting them to be civil to each other is like pulling teeth. And yet, it is thematically important, and I laid this damn plot thread all the way back in chapters 2 and 3, so here I am, with my metaphorical pliers. *resolve face* I am going to finish this story if it kills me.
-----
4. Tangentially to point 3, I hate all my current WIPs. Distract me, people! Give me a fandom and a prompt, and I will write a ficlet for you. First five comments (on either LJ or Dreamwidth) get fics.
A) As Love from Lies, or Truth from Art -- 600 words, Chronicles of Narnia, for
silverblade219.
B) A Certain Point of View -- 550 words, Harry Potter, for
alchymie.
C) Health Insurance -- 675 words, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, for
yggidee.
D) Compatibility -- 1,500 words, Naruto, for
lynati_1.
E) Sons and Daughters -- 150 words, Naruto, for
theodosia21.
F) Some Work of Noble Note -- 850 words, Star Trek: AOS, for
valles_uf.
