A fly by post....

Gosh, I'm so woefully behind in... everything. I'm feeling better, though, so that of course means I have all kinds of laundry and cleaning and just *stuff* piled up waiting to be tackled. I made a good dent in All The Things on Sunday, but Monday I was reminded my stamina isn't *quite* there yet. >.<   Nothing dire, just that getting my Dad's weekly groceries yesterday left me a lot more wiped out than it normally does. So, today is a stay-home day where I'm going to take it a little easier and, fingers crossed, get caught up on some writing, which I haven't done since my surgery because Brain Fog. Ugh. It takes a while for anesthesia to make its way out of the body, and then of course there's the whole "body is sucking up energy for healing so, Brain, you're just gonna have to take a number" thing. And Brain meanwhile is bouncing around in my skull using up its precious energy resources blurting random things at me like, "ARAGORN WHAT ABOUT ARAGORN THERE'S NOT MUCH ARAGORN H/C OUT THERE WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY???????????"

or, "BOWEN!!! BOWEN AND HIS COWS AND GOBLINS AND FLORA AND OWEN ESTEL AND ALL THE BREE THINGS!!!!!!"

And, since seeing Captain America: Winter Soldier, my brain added another layer to the cacophonous chorus,

"BUCKBUCKYBUCKYBUCKYOMGPUPPYEYESDOSOMETHINGFORHIMHELP....!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

*cough* Ahem. Yeah. That character has smacked me straight in the feels, and tumblr, YOU ARE NOT HELPING. Although it's a perfect diversion during brain fogginess, I must say. (I also may or may not have ordered the Ed Brubaker Captain America: Winter Soldier comics.... okay, yeah, I did. Found Vol 1 & 2 gently used online and they'll be coming in a week or so. I've not read a comic book in years, since I was a kid, really, so I'm looking forward to getting these and wallowing in Winter Soldier feels catching up on the Cap canon that the movies are more or less following.)

And then there's Domino, who has decided that he must sleep ON TOP OF ME every night. Eurgh. I know on paper that sounds so, "Awwww, sweet!!!" But he's heavier than he looks. And he kicks and twitches. So sleep has been a little disrupted. Which contributes to the Brain Fog.

But rest assured, I'm reading everything here at LJ, from comments left on mine to everyone else's posts. I'm not commenting in return much, which kills me, but eventually I'll get caught up with everything and get back to annoying everyone actually conversing with everyone again.

*hugs to all*

Thank you! I'm definitely up for prayers for swift recovery. :)

(And can I just say again how utterly thrilled I am that you've been sucked into the vortex of "BUCKYPUPPYPOORBABY!!!" along with us? My brain basically Will. Not. let that refrain go of late.)

Hee hee... that refrain is terrible for its tenacity, isn't it??? Good heavens. That character and Sebastian Stan were barely blips on my radar after the first Cap movie but now. o.O Yikes. I don't know if I'll ever actually write fic, despite this idea in my head, but who knows. I might, just to get rid of it!

Very, very tenacious. *bg* I'll soon be finishing my third Bucky-focused story since the movie came out. I just... gah. XD

And heyyyy, if you do have fic ideas that you don't feel up to writing, you're always free to drop by Avengersgen and post them as prompts if you'd like. (Current round's here: http://avengersgen.livejournal.com/3373.html) You don't need to be a member or writing anything yourself to post as many prompts as you'd like, and we've been getting quite a few fills. (Of course, if you were to write a Bucky fic that would pretty much delight be beyond reason, but. *g*)

I may do that eventually, if I can't get around to writing it myself. :)

I think I joined that comm... just haven't remembered to go back and actually keep up with the comments. *facepalm* I tend to be a heavy friends' page reader when it comes to keeping up with LJ and duh, the posts at your comm won't appear on my friends page just because new comments are added. *sigh*

I might, if you wouldn't mind, PM you with my idea, just to see if it's already been done a billion times. I haven't read much in the Avengers' verse... just yours and some of Suzll's and a scattered few on AO3... so I don't really know what's already out there. I do know that it seems like 98% is slash shipping stuff, which doesn't really do it for my platonic-buddy-fic lovin' heart. *sigh*

And hmmm, I realize that I need to make myself a nice Bucky icon....

Oh, man, I know. I depend so much on seeing things pop up on my friends page too. (For the prompting communities I'm really involved in, I tend to just track the entire post, so that I know what's going on, but that can result in more emails than a lot of people feel like getting. XD)

Yess, absolutely PM me! I'd be happy to brainstorm, give feedback, whatever. As you said, even though a lot of ideas in the fandom have been "done", it's heavily dominated by slashy shipping, soo with a lot of themes the decent gen/friendship-focused pieces are few and far between.
