1) I have to be honest. I just haven’t been inspired to write recently. I have ideas, but I just haven’t had the heart to put my ideas on paper. And maybe some of those ideas are way too big for me to execute, which is why I can’t get anything done. That and I feel like my fandom interests have shifted, a bit. The fandoms I once leaned on to write short drabbles? I’m not interested in them at all.
1.5) That said, I think I have some ideas I’d like to write about, finally. I signed up for Be the First, expecting to write for a terrible movie with negative queer tropes in it, A Girl Named Grace. And then maybe I’d write something about this new show on Netflix, Gentefied, about the F/F couple in it. But I drew blanks on both fandoms. Then, looking for stuff on YouTube related to Raven’s Home (another show I’m drawing blanks on), I stumbled across Raven-Symoné’s video for “Backflip,” where she’s programming her ideal boyfriend through a Blackberry phone, and the oddness of the situation in the video finally clicked for me. I’m also thinking about writing some short things for a new podcast (like, it just premiered yesterday), The Left Right Game, about an American-British journalist (also of Caribbean decent) who disappears while on assignment in America covering the aforementioned game.
In short, I think I’ll write about “Backflip” and maybe The Left Right Game for Be the First.
2) To also be honest, I’ve jettisoned all other exchanges happening right now for Jukebox, and writing for an exchange three months into a year feels weird to me. Uh...I think I’ll nominate nearly what I nominated last year and bring back something nominated years ago. Haven’t seen a lot of more recent music videos I’d like to see fic from in the past year, alas.
3) This is really why I’m writing this. I just got a comment today on my fic “The Story of Aphrodite and Persephone” that someone copied the fic and put it on an Android app. I don’t think the app is also an iOS app so I can make certain it’s on the app. I also don’t know if other people have been affected or if it’s just me. But I trust the comment. I sent an email to the app developer. We’ll see what happens next.
