Ficathons

[paranoidangel]

In 2023 I got into doing some ficathons and thought I hadn't done Chocolate Box for a while, so it would be good to do candyheartsex. And then everything went to shit and I spent January looking for jobs and doing tests that were the same as my job at the time, only made harder by incompetence and inability to understand that there are other operating systems beside Mac and Windows.

But this year was fine, so I did it.

I wrote

And I got

Summary: Barbara and Ian would be perfect for each other, Susan is certain of it. If only she could get them to realize it...

Which considering that I when I did my sign up I was missing the first two TARDIS teams worked out quite well.

I thought about doing unsent-letters-exchange, but then couldn't think of enough things that I wanted and wasn't inspired by the tagset. But that doesn't stop me from writing treats/picking up a pinch hit should the opportunity arise.

And after thinking about it for a while, I set up tardis_remix. Since it's not a gift exchange, most of the work is in setting it up and the rest is in box ticking. And most of the set up work was about LibreOffice and AO3 fighting over formatting.

(I know none of my DW links are actually linking - the plugin that creates the links suddenly stopped working and I need to look into why - now fixed!)
