So! I am writing! And it is not entirely like pulling teeth! I have a story that is ~8k words long, and nearly done, if I can just the characters to fucking hold hands or something. That's it. That's where it needs to end, but they are currently still dancing round each other, and that's annoying.

I'd like someone to read it over for me, but it needs typing up, which I'm holding off doing till I've actually finished it.

I'm also rewatching Above Suspicion (which I saw when it originally aired), and obnoxiously livetweeting about it (on twitter: [twitter.com profile] gwyntgwyn). The first series was...odd in lots of terrible ways (awful acting, and terrible cameras) and I can't believe it got a second series off the back of that. But the second series is way better? Like the acting's better, the story is better (even the frigging camera work is better). There's certain bits as well that seem like deliberate rewrites of parts of the first one (either that or perhaps, IDK, you're not meant to mainline two series in two days*).

Anyway, I'm really enjoying it now. Series three tomorrow!

Oh and, talking of stuff I was livetweeting about, I've pretty much given up on Critical Role. I honestly find it way too exhausting to watch. It is fun, but I just don't have the mental resources to watch it. I'm just going to spoil myself for everything else that happens after the Whitestone arc, I think. And maybe write the cast a nice letter because dang they've kept me entertained on some very shitty days, and I said I would. I just need to sit my ass down and decide what I'm going to say.

*There's two eps in the first series and three in the second, so it's not like it was a massive amount to watch.
