It didn't really rise to the level of "spam"
That wasn't much of a ficspam, I know, but hey! The attempt did help me finish two things I've had in progress for a while. And I have at least two more short things started, not Giles/Ethan. I'll see what I can do this week with a Giles/Jenny thing I started yesterday, and also a Giles/Buffy thing. The genfic ideas are not so plentiful at the moment, alas.
This approach is incredibly effective with getting me to stop over-editing and just let the words flow out. It's not the way to write more complex, polished pieces, the sort of things that depend on a deep editing process, but if I'm stuck entirely it's a huge help.
My opinion on the LJ user rep elections in progress: The position is for appearances only. If the LJ owners don't listen to the professionals on their advisory board, they are unlikely to listen to a customer on the same board. But the election sure is occupying a lot of time, attention, and energy. My recommendation is to vote for a fandom candidate, because YNK, and then stop investing in it.
Random link for today: Flight of the Conchords, "The Humans are Dead", performed live. Killed me too. (Contains a bad word sung aloud, so use headphones if necessary.)

Possible B/G fic today?
(perks up a lot)
Okay, I have to go bake a banana cake now.
I find that most of the so-called wisdom of my adulthood is about deciding not to get upset about a lot of stuff that just isn't going to matter. The art of the mellow.
Or it could just be that when I hit my 20-year anniversary as a Californian last year, my last brain cells rotted. Let's not vote on that one.
(ducks heavy objects)
I'll be patient about that B/G, but I am enthusiastic.
