Hello! In exciting news (at least to me), I did just write a Big Bang’s worth of pure MCU fluff in the last month. Apparently, my writing brain is still around and can still connect with my fingers to type out the necessary words. (Or, possibly, the kids aren’t stressing me out at the moment and I can spare the extra brain cycles that writing always seems to take. I’ll take it, whichever way it is.)

Relatedly, someone somewhere created a challenge based on OPI color names, which is directly responsible for this explosion of fluff and angst, and I’m pretty sure it was here on DW/LJ (crossing my fingers for DW on account of how I just deleted my LJ.) I went back through all the fic-related comms though and didn’t see it…? Any thoughts? Or did I just make it all up in a dream?

eta: Sorted! I did not, in fact, dream up the challenge on my own. It is the OPI Summer Challenge (from *last* summer, koff, oh well?)

As for reading, I have fallen into the abyss of Tina Brown's biography of Princess Diana and despite having lived through it all, it is like reading a historical text.

That was me!

It's here: https://archiveofourown.org/collections/opisummerchallenge

Oh, yay!! It’s always good to know I’m not totally hallucinating things.

Can I just add it to the collection? I think what must have happened was that I saw the color name & my brain slotted in the characters without a prompt from anyone else.

Yeah, it's a completely DIY challenge experience. *g*

Awesome, thank you! I think I got it added... Only a year late, but hey, fic is forever, right? :D

It's in there! And yup!

The OPI challenge is here. I think it got posted on

fandomcalendar?

Thanks! I think I just didn't go back far enough on

fandomcalendar when I was looking earlier this week, but I did get it sorted out. I'm slow sometimes, but once my brain gets hold of something it really doesn't want to let it go.

I 100% feel that!

I am also wallowing in the Brown biography! And having just recently seen/heard the "Diana in her own words" thingy on BBC, it's giving me serious whiplash.

That was one complete mess from beginning to end, wasn’t it? Everyone was just utterly oblivious.

Somewhat related, have you been following the Brooch Wars theories? I’m cackling with glee.
