Do you ever fanfic your own work? I was reconsidering my recent 'Dragon Country' story, and realised that obviously, JC's (unknown) father was a dragon in human form. It would explain rather a lot. I think Adam notices it when Lance takes him to view JC's sculptures. Chris is of course very chuffed. I don't quite know why this feels like 'fanfic' rather than 'an extension of this universe', but it does. Perhaps it's because the notion is completely irrelevant to the story, but is still a neat explanation of this JC—and I know for certain that the author didn't put it in there when she was writing it!

It is very liberating to throw things away! We bunged a whole bunch of magazines into the recycling bin and have rearranged the shelves in the sitting room to accommodate what remains. I've also finally accepted that I'm not going to host any more Murder dinner parties, and put those boxes into the charity shop pile, along with a bunch of assorted board games. Don't know if the library will take the art books—probably not, as they were my mother's and will be too old—but the Oxfam bookshop will probably be happy with them. They are good books, but I haven't so much as opened them in years.

I have also been repainting some boxes, and distributing compost about the garden in preparation for putting beans, tomatoes, squashes and courgettes into various locations. Some of the seedlings are looking very sturdy now.

Oh, btw, chalcopyrite, your sprouts look very good!

Busy, busy!

Do you ever fanfic your own work?

I once wrote an Administration/Deep Space 9 crossover fic.

[pensnest]

Cool! With Cardassians?

First person POV Garak.

I know, I can feel your total astonishment from here ;-)

[pensnest]

Indeed. I would have been surprised as well as disappointed had there been no Garak.

[manna]

I wrote it for Altariel, so Garak was 100% compulsory.

I should really run a quick eye over it and post it on A03.

[pensnest]

That sounds like a very good idea!

I am so looking forward to having Wanted Stuff sent off to the various relatives, so we can start throwing out some of what's left! And then there will be *space*! It will be amazing.

Yay sprouts! Are they making you doubt your sprout-hating ways? *G*

[pensnest]

Certainly not! Although the beans are also very effective, and I am already quite fond of my own beans, which are growing merrily in the conservatory. I approve of this. Poke seed into pot of soil, add water occasionally—my kind of gardening!

YES. Yes, yes, yes. *climbs aboard the JC-has-dragon-blood-which-explains-why-no-one-understands-his-art train, stakes out a window seat, hogs the armrest*

(Chris'll definitely handle it better than Lance did, methinks :)

[pensnest]

It does seem to make so much sense. JC will be startled to learn that his absentee father was obviously a 'passing' dragon, and delighted to find there *are* other dimensions he can use.

Sadly I don't have an actual story...

I call it AUing my own work, but I like the mental image yours provides better. Then I could leave myself comments!

[pensnest]

I've generally thought of this stuff as sequels, and logically this particular one could be a sequel - if I had an actual *story*. But it feels like fanfic! Then the original author and the fanfic writer can dispute the details....

Based on your comments about growing corn we planted some last week. I really hope it grows. So far so good.

[pensnest]

I have some little corn shoots in pots at the moment. Let us hope for sunshine!
