All the odds and ends

[gwyn]

Man, there is a lot to do when you sign up for Yuletide! Letters post, posting about where your letters post is, all the subchallenges like Chromatic Yuletide where you have to also post your letters post, and I'm incapable of using spreadsheets so I can't even add things to the apps. Just lots of loose ends.

But I'm very pleased with my assignment this year. There were really only two people I had targeted to write for based on our fandom prefs, our concept prefs, and just general vibe, and they each had multiple fandoms I could handle, even if I had one in particular I hoped to match on. And I got one of the people I hoped for! So I was very excited about that--it doesn't happen very often. I just pray I can push through all the shit I'm going through to eke a story out.

I'm still really struggling with the effects of the treatments, and I haven't posted in a while because it's just felt so onerous. At some point, I promise I'll provide an actual update--my myeloma numbers have kind of leveled off, so right now I'm not sure how long/if I can make it to zero on the myeloma protein spike, which is the main thing they're striving for. I just really don't want to have to default on the story, so I hope this next couple months of treatments will be smoother.

But I'm still here, reading people's posts, even if I don't post much myself.

Congratulations on getting a good Yuletide! And definitely hoping that your numbers get as low as can go!

I'm sorry the treatments are so hard, but glad to hear you're still hanging in there. I hope Yuletide will be a bright spot for you.

Very glad you got an assignment you're happy with! And so nice to see you post!

I hope you get the myeloma numbers down to where they need to be, and the treatments get easier.

I'm reasonably pleased with my assignment, though I didn't get any of the people I kind of expected. Only one of the several fandoms offered is familiar to me, but that's fine -- I wouldn't have offered that one if I weren't okay with writing it.

I didn't bother with a letters post because I said pretty much all I had to say in the signup. I hope that doesn't come back to bite me.

Ugh I am so sorry about the treatment side effects. I am holding you in my heart, always.
