So, a few weeks ago, someone informed me that the Network is a Dreamwidth feature that exists, sort of like LJ's old friends-of-friends page. Even though I've had my paid account for a while, I never actually noticed it because I read my flist via a bookmark and hardly ever actually look at my journal. Anyway, I love this thing; I read it regularly now. (The "Latest Things page is fun too, though 60% of that tends to be either roleplay-related or Russian entries depending on the time of day... but it's still interesting.)

Anyway, point is, recently I saw an entry where someone was talking about their fandom_stocking requests and holy crap, I want to fill this person's stocking so badly. I thought I was done with this fest! But I guess not. Good thing it goes until after Christmas, because I'll probably need that time if I'm going to do anything for this person. I might even try to write some (short) fic... in a fandom I've never written in... but ahhh they like all the things that I like about it. HELLO STRANGER, LET'S BE FRIENDS.

... Definitely going to have to finish my Nordic Exchange fic first, though. Mod sent out a reminder that it's due on Christmas Eve. I thought we had a day or two after that, but I guess not. Oops. I can definitely get it done in time, though! I'm just currently psyducking over it because I really would rather be working on almost anything else. This pairing + this time period = a combination of "meh" and "why", basically. But, I can do it! I should work on it tonight.
