So, not the best of weeks.

I don't think it's come up much in my journal, but I've been pretty sick these last few months. After my exams I finally decided to go to the doctor and have myself checked out, as up until then I'd kept putting it down to stress etc. And, yeah. It's nothing terrible on the whole scale of nothing-terribleness, but I am going to have to have my gallbladder removed and my poor liver has been abused in ways that need some tender loving care to fix.

As a result, I'm feeling pretty down. I've sort of been in a mood - not angry or sulky, just ... down. Very down.

To try and combat that, I've joined a fic challenge: Genre twisting (http://genretwisting.dreamwidth.org/). Basically, you give either six or 10 characters from a fandom, plus one of 5 genres to 'twist' your fandom to. You are then assigned a number of prompts within that genre to write. Should be fun. I've submitted six characters each for Saiunkoku and Dragon Knights, plus a 10 character mixed list (Saiunkoku, Dragon Knights, Magic Knights Rayearth, Tenshi ni Narumon) for a cracky crime/thriller list of prompts. While it's mainly on dreamwidth, sign-ups are also on livejournal: http://community.livejournal.com/genretwisting/

Hopefully this might help lift my mood a little.

Sadly, the prompts didn't really capture my attention. So, I decided to run another Saiunkoku Fic Battle, instead.

I am a terrible person, using my modding powers to fix my own sour mood instead of for good ^_^.

Oi, that still doesn't sound very pleasant D: Take care of your health!

But what an interesting sounding fic challenge, hm... sounds like you can get some interesting fics out of that.

It's actually quite interesting how the mixed prompts actually provided better Dragon Knight prompts than the DK specific ones!

At least I'm addressing my health issues during my holidays, although sadly they're slipping away very quickly as a result. Blarg.

Oh wow, so have you already gotten some exciting prompts then?

Either way, it's good to stay healthy :D
