busy bees are busy

Less than a week before we leave for our trip to Japan. Looking forward to it - my MIL is going with us to take us to the ancient family stomping grounds (not kidding - the family mausoleum goes back at least the 17th c.) I was there years ago as a teenager, but didn't get far out of Tokyo, so this trip will be cool, especially the train through the mountains.

But I'll also be glad when we're back since it's been a constant overhanging thing about getting prepared for months now, between getting passports ready for everyone, new luggage, etc.

But that week means I'm trying to get some writing things done as well before leaving. I'm taking the tablet but not the laptop, so writing will be more of a pain and I don't know how much time/availability I'll have for it anyway. Plus I need to finish some 12c projects before going away. (it's silly because it's only two weeks, and only one in Japan, so it's not as if we're planning to go the moon), but still, it's a good deadline to work with.

So the draft of UtS-3 will be done. WILL BE. More damn trouble with this fic than I have EVER had before. But it's coming back together, I think, but still, 27 K has never been such a pain in the ass. it is Thanos interfering clearly. frakker.

and also ...

I signed up for avengers_xbb Avengers crossover big bang ,which is really a minibang of 5K minimum so it's not that terrible if anyone else is interested in signing up. Author signups close tomorrow (also they could use artists for anyone with those inclinations though those signups go on longer).

I intend to use it for my Avengers/Person of Interest idea. Reese joins SHIELD. Spy shenanigans with Natasha and Clint and Fury and Coulson and Maria, for sure. heh. looking forward to going back to it.
