Yeah, I can't imagine this going poorly at all!

So! I'm doing Whumptober for the first time. Because I haven't posted any fan works yet this year and I try really hard to have at least one new thing each year*. Nothing like heaving myself into the deep end.

I've previously mentioned greatly enjoying and being very inspired by thepartyresponsible's past Whumptober collections, which are always this gleeful mashup of fandoms and genres. So I've been telling myself since sometime in the summer, this time, I play too.

Did I want to cheat and get a jump on writing back in September, since all the prompts were already available? Yes, absolutely. Did I actually do that, thus giving myself extra time and a better chance of completing the challenge? I did not.

What I did do, though, was write 3000 words in one evening to fill the first prompt. (⊙_⊙;)

The Embers Not Yet Burned Out

Day One: Unconventional Restraints, “This wasn’t supposed to happen”
, Marvel, Bucky Barnes, Clint Barton, Lucky the Pizza Dog, alternate universe-magic

We'll see how well I do with this. Send blessings. Send snacks. Send ice packs for my wrists.



*2017, I see you over there, messing up my stats. You...you know, actually, that's probably fair. I remember what 2017 had to cope with. We'll give it a pass.

*tea kettle noises* I have no one to blame but myself! Whumptober, ho!

Lewisia: 3 new pieces written, plus 6 bonus pieces (because I realized I was short for October)

Tumblr queue: 42 posts added--idek at this point, I'm just tagging things and flinging them in there whenever I think of it

Day job: 43.5 hours

Cooking: threw together what was supposed to be a small batch of curry that has somehow still produced the usual endless vat

Gardening: planted two elderberry shrubs
