It's weird, but I can't find the thread we were posting in earlier. It just disappeared!  :shrug: So I thought i's just start another one.

Nothing much to say though lol

That's so weird!  I don't see it either.  Must have accidentally gotten deleted.  Oh well... hope your day is going well!

The weather is a nasty wintry mix here, so I'm staying in and attempting to write all day.  I started this one-shot so I'd have something to fill the word count of my April Fool's story, and now I have to finish it before I can make much more progress on my novel.  I don't miss trying to balance more than one story at a time, but I guess it's nice to write something different now and then.  I've been writing about Kevin for the past three years, so it's about time I took a little break to write a Nick and Brian story.  Those two are probably glad I've mostly left them alone lately LOL.

How's your writing going this week?  Are your Funko pops providing you with plenty of inspiration? LOL

mare:
I must have accidentally deleted it. Not even sure how though.

We are expecting snow today and tomorrow but thankfully, not a lot. Although I don't really mind it as much anymore since I don't go anywhere ever.

Sometimes it's nice moving away from your main novel to write a short story about someone else. Did you get any comments on AO3? Did anyone actually read it that clicked on it with all those tags? LMAO

My writing is coming along. That's what I'm doing now, well after this. I have a whole routine. Shower, get onto my laptop and come here, check mail and then start writing. I love my little Funkos. Right above my Roys are my BSB IWITW funkos. If I wanted I could have them act this story out because Kevin and Howie are in it as well as David Wright. A Met that I also have a funko of! 

I kind of laugh now when I write because, as I've said before, these are both suspense stories and at the moment both of them have become very similar in that Roman has been taken hostage. So, in one I have a teenage version of Roman kidnapped by the MINE serial killer and in the other I have adult Roman taken hostage by the turks who took him in season 2 aka one of the storylines Jessie Armstrong decided to go nowhere with. Poor Roman.

I feel like it's Kieran's fault because before they decided on Kieran, that part was going to Jeremy Strong. He was originally written as an older guy with a wife and kid. Hence the wife and kid in the first few episodes of the show. When they went with Kieran, he took the character and ran in a completely different direction which I think flummoxed Jessie Armstrong resulting in Roman always kind of hanging in limbo a bit with certain things. So, there's some Succession trivia you didn't ask for. The reason I brought that up is because there was a lot of complaining on the Succession twitter about the lack of storyline for the hostage thing that happens in season 2, which you might not have watched. So, I thought, hostage? I'm there! But that leaves me with two very similar storylines and people probably thinking there's something wrong with me if they are reading both.

Hope your writing streak is still going strong! And I hope that some other people pop their heads in this thread as well. Dee came out of her hidey hole on twitter at the mention of Crumbl cookies which I loved. So maybe she'll come back here someday. lol

Sounds like it's been a little crazy in NY lately!  I saw on Twitter that the Statue of Liberty got struck by lightning the other day, and today there was an earthquake?  Could you feel it up in Buffalo?  And now snow... and, in a few days, an eclipse!  This is starting to feel like the beginning of a disaster movie LOL.  Stay home and stay safe!

I did get some comments on my April Fool's story!  Most of them were from friends who knew full well it wasn't going to be a smutfest, but I did get one yesterday from someone I don't know who may have clicked on it because of the tags LOL.  They didn't say, and they did leave a kudo and say they were waiting for the rest, so I guess they liked it anyway.

LOL I love the thought of you acting out your fanfic with Funkos!  Now I want a stop-motion animation movie of them acting out a scene while you read it.

I'm glad you've found your new favorite victim in Roman LOL, but I do miss the days when it was Nick being abducted and tortured!

I hit Day 800 of my writing streak on Easter, so it's still going!  I've only been writing a sentence or two a day on The World Will Be Waiting because I'm trying to finish the one-shot, but I'm still writing daily.  I always make sure I open the novel first so I don't get distracted by the one-shot and forget.  I had a pretty good streak going prior to starting my current one, and the only reason I broke that one was because I got distracted by 00Carter when we resurrected that.  So I'm determined not to let that happen again LOL.

I don't know if you know because I don't think she ever talked about it here, but Dee had a baby in 2022!  I think that's the main reason she disappeared back down her hidey hole LOL.  I talk to her every once in a while, and she's going to Cancun, so I will see her there.  Hopefully she will eventually make her way back here and back to writing.  I loved how active the writing discussion was the last time she came back!

mare:
Yes, it's been wild here in general. We were a little too far to feel the earthquake, but they did feel it in Allentown. We did get some snow over the last two days. I seriously think this all has to do with Trump selling Bibles. The Statue of Liberty, the earthquake, a total eclipse. It's all related somehow.  :shrug:

I love that you got a random reader from clicking on your story with that many tags! People on AO3 take their tags very seriously.

I really need a Connor Funko to properly act out my story although I guess I could just borrow one of the Boys for that one. I'm annoyed that the first wave of Succession Funkos didn't include Connor. So typical he just gets glossed over like that!

I have to admit that while writing the AU, I have on more than one occasion typed Nick's name instead of Roman's that I've caught while editing. And I've also had to fix a lot of D instead of calling him Howie because I never established that as his nickname in this story. People would be like and who the heck is this D person?

That's an incredible streak you're one. I think that's awesome! Are you still going to try to write while you're in Cancun?

I did know Dee had a baby because we are Facebook friends, and she had some pictures posted of her baby shower and random pictures of the baby when he was first born. I think it's a boy, right? it's nice she's going to Cancun. It seems like a lot of you guys will get to meet up while you're there. When you see her, tell her and everyone else to come back to the MB. I miss everyone!  :bighug:
