corvidology's Stuff I Love Post and Banner.
2. To that end, have a couple of recs:
Heaven, Earth, and the Song That Knits Them Up bygloss
Moths--Ouida
Corrèze/Vere
I continue to be utterly delighted that somebody besides me read and now loves this book. This is a very sweet post-canon interlude.
Necromancin' Dancin' [VID]
Locked Tomb vid made with fanart. This is really kickass.

lyr asks: When you look at your writing throughout your life, what do you think has changed about it over time?
The primary change is genre. As a teen, I mostly wrote poetry. I wrote some short stories as a kid and a pre-teen, but by the time I hit my teenage years, I was exclusively writing poetry. Ditto for undergrad. Then I got to grad school. Not only was the reading load overwhelming, I got pregnant with Emma that first year. I quit writing creatively entirely--no poetry, no stories, no nothing except academic writing. Then I found fandom in late 2004, and by 2005 I was writing fanfic. Fanfic and academic writing have been the only writing I've done for most of that 16 year period (with a couple of short stories and the beginning of a novel thrown in there). In 2019, I started actively trying to write poetry again with some success, but I haven't gotten inspired or hit by the muse. It's definitely still a sit down and make myself write some poetry kinda thing at this point. But I have been regularly reading poetry, and I'm hoping that I will eventually get back into the poetry groove.
I also want to say here how much I love academic writing. Which is a good thing since that's my job. LOL But I'm good at it, and I enjoy it, and I'm so grateful for that.
