shimotsukiWhew! Writing the fic for October's "Autumn Moon Jumble" event at ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
metamorfic_moon has been a wild ride. It took me a couple of weeks to figure out what I wanted to do with my prompts, and then of course as soon as I had the thing outlined, I suddenly had a lot less writing time -- culminating in this week, when I had a work-related houseguest for three days, which was truly fun but definitely didn't lead to lots of fic writing.
Last night was the deadline -- at 3am my time -- and the guest had an entirely legitimate need to be on the internet connection, using my laptop, from nine until midnight. (!!!) I still had half a scene to write, and was almost driven to writing longhand (which I almost never do -- I think much better with a keyboard). She went to bed at twelve, though, leaving me to power through the rest of the fic in two hours, and then edit/HTML-format/post at the speed of light.
I'm just glad it did get posted, in the end! Even if I am very sleepy today. ;) And now I can catch up on enjoying all the new fic and art posts atmetamorfic_moon myself.

metamorfic_moon myself. - Changing Minds (4980 words | PG | genfic with background Remus/Tonks | post-war AU)
The members of the Order of the Phoenix finally receive the thanks they deserve, but Remus finds that Harry is a lot more optimistic about the prospects for change in the wizarding world than he is. (Set in the Warp and Weft AU ficverse.)

I may have fallen asleep sitting upright at the desk, lol
Hee. I used to do that sometimes in high school, actually, staying up late to finish my homework. Or I would be so tired that my fingers would move on the keyboard and I would type a couple of paragraphs of ypys;;u tsmfp, dyigg before I noticed.
I got muttered at a little this morning too. ;)
