The spiral reaches a terrifying new low

[sqbr]

Oh God I knew this day would come.

I know a bunch of people involved in OTW, so I feel a certain vicarious affection for the project. When An Archive of Our own went live I had a look and wrote some feedback. I didn't see myself ever wanting an account since I didn't write fanfic, but it seemed like a nice place to read it.

But apparently, sending feedback put me on a list, and I was invited to be in the next, larger beta of new accounts. This sounded like fun, so I joined up, but once I'd put in my information and made a bookmark I ran out of things I could test..without posting some fanfic.

So...I decided to write some. Nothing serious, just chuck something together without much thought to quality. And I started writing..and got inspired...and now it's three chapters long.

It's not beta-d yet (nico_wolfwood agreed to do it, but is busy right now), and definitely not finished, but I decided I should post this now since I'll feel silly posting a "I write fanfic now" post when I've been doing it for ages. So without further ado:

Wedding is destiny, and hanging likewise: Pride and Prejudice, currently gen but assuming I get that far and don't change my mind will eventually be Mary Bennet/Anne de Bourgh femslash (I decided not to get people's hopes up given that there's like one other P&P femslash story out there)

Posting it was fairly painless though I did hit some small hurdles which I gave feedback on. Now that I've tested out doing multiple chapters etc I won't post any more until it's been beta-d.

Yeah, yeah, I know, I know. You can all stop laughing at me now.

Well, I don't know about you and kadeton, but Cam and I's relationship is built around constant mockery, I can imagine that if the dynamic was different being made fun of for reading fanfic might be more upsetting :)

I think to live with me constant mockery is a necessity. Well, along with the fart jokes, which are guaranteed to make me giggle even on bad days. :P
