Writing - Month Twelve

Writing figures for the month are okay - to date this month I'm around 9K, which brings my year-to-date figure to 54K and therefore ahead of target (50K), due to a good start to the year.  Although there's still not a major impetus for writing, so I'm trundling along with my regular output.

As I mentioned yesterday, I've written some Vienna Blood ficlets, and my inspiring_tables 50 prompts Eight Days in the Country now stands at 23 chapters posted with 33 chapters written.

story_works in addition to my new (and temporary) fandom have had a Comfort challenge.  So here's some classic Lucas/Adam comfort: Comfort Food

One thing I have tried lately is writing with a playslip - currently New Adventures have been posting a new playlist to Spotify every Sunday, so I've been writting to that, with at times interesting results.  whatif_au Reunion Challenge: (Lucas/Adam post WWII) - The Café de Paris ; fan_flashworks Sideways Challenge: (BBC Sherlock) - A Trip to the Ballet ; and ficlet_zone Charmed (Reverse Fandom) Challenge (Werewolf!Lucas) - Once in a Blue Moon

I've been working for some of fan_flashworks new badges: The Access Pass for canon characters with disabilities (Call the Midwife) Two Cakes ; The Emigre for canon immigrants or emigrants (Call the Midwife) A Suitable Flat; and The Map Maker for fics set outside US/Canada/UK but still on earth - Vienna Blood (of course).  And finally I wrote a poem for the Play Challenge, as a response to current events:

The Play's The Thing

The curtains stand closed across the empty stage
The lights are dimmed, the many sounds turned down
No playwright’s words come from a distant age
No costumes needed here for lover, king or clown

Yet once again we shall hear Shakespeare speak
And Chekhov, Stoppard, Williams, Coward too
Cheering audiences return on opening week
And applause rings out for actors and stage crew
