Unfathomable and vast

I am now the proud owner of this print of Pixie, my favorite of all the X-Men. She needs a frame but I'm procrastinating. The artist was at DCC and I actually went looking for her a second time so I could get this print. May have to see about adding the one of Captain Marvel to my collection, as well!

So, I've been investigating the Carol Corps and even purchased the first Captain Marvel comic. If it makes me love Carol as much as I love Clint and Kate thanks to the Hawkeye comic, I may have found my new muse!

Right now, I'm working on several stories in the same "universe" that will eventually resolve into a collection. Not chapters so much as interconnected stories. Every time I say that, I end up losing my resolve after a couple or getting sidetracked. The good news about this particular universe is that the Big Damn Table for [livejournal.com profile] writerverse this phase has to either be used for one huge story or 20 smaller stories... all of them set in this universe. I know that some people have discussed the idea of one fandom being a universe but I'm going to stick with this storyline and these particular characters.

But other characters keep pressing to be added. Clint and Darcy may prove to be the only "movie" characters and then I'm stuck in the nebulous world of "it's not movie and it's not comics so what is it" that is going to get me into trouble. Well, not trouble. It can be considered an AU, I suppose. But ignored, for sure. Pity that all my "oooh, write in this shadow" stories get ignored. Sometimes I wish that I could write mainstream like everyone else.

Hi, lady. I just want to tell you that I think your writing is wonderful, and I don't care if it's mainstream or not, I think it's amazing just the way it is :)

Thank you! *curtsies* I was feeling a bit maudlin for a moment as I contemplated what I wanted to work on this weekend. As much as I try not to worry about hits and likes, it's become something I can't get away from. Can't let "the man" get me down, though. I do have amazing friends and readers!

:) *hugs* I know that feeling! I think it's impossible to get away from the feedback, I just embraced the fact that every writer needs it. But I think those can't make you happy if your work isn't making you happy. Some of my favorite stories are really low on hits and kudos, but I love them.

Thank you for having me as a friend! <3!
