Yuletide: Four Yuletide stories down, hopefully one more by the end of today, and then editing like the dogs of war are at my heels until the deadline. I'm leaving the rest of the time up to Christmas entirely unplanned; better to write only if something hits me, I think. I keep looking at some of The Culture prompts, but for all that the letters are very good, no one story is quite leaping out at me just yet.
Work: has been hellish, even though I realise it doesn't have to be. It's still 9-5, but I'm the sort of person who can't look at a thing done badly and not want to fix it. I've definitely been more stressed over the firefighting rescue job we're doing on this other team's project than I need to be, and all told it's making me just want to go a completely different direction. I don't love coding, and sometimes the job feels like golden handcuffs. Don't know what I would do, though! I just know that, this taken in consideration with everything else in my life, it's time for a midlife U-turn fairly soon. Harder when I don't really have a target destination in mind, but...
Random meme: Why not, right? I'll do you if you do me, &c.

HAHA, I AM SO EASY AND OBVIOUS HERE:
1. FFVII, Tseng
I mean, dude's an assassin in a political world. SIGN ME UP.
2. Hikaru no Go, Shindou Hikaru
I write a lot of weird political people, and then HERE SHINDOU IS, random teenaged Go wizard who is also really bad at life. It's a nice change!
3. The Culture, any ship mind
Iain M. Banks was a wizard and gave us AI wizardry. Writing the Ships is basically an excuse to write SUPER LOGICAL SUPER ILLOGICAL PEOPLE all the time.
How about you?

1) Dragon Age II - Carver Hawke. He's so awkward but also passionate and often snarky, he was a really good one to write.
2) Haikyuu!! - Hinata Shouyou. He's been the bulk of my writing this year, though the POV switched between him and Kageyama. He's a bundle of energy, excited about everything but quick to get riled up when he's not taken seriously.
3) FFVIII - Squall Leonhart. I haven't written him in a long time but he's been one of my core muses over the years. The way he keeps his thoughts to himself makes the narrative take place in his mind/actions rather than dialogue and I love that he can be shy but fierce. I'd love to write him again to see if he's developed along with my writing style.
