Genre Icon Challenge

Since I'm struggling with getting my groove on with the 9-1-1 Lone Star fandom and kind of procrastinating with actually watching 9-1-1, Teen Wolf and Chicago Fire and a couple of other shows I at one point in time noted down to check out, I'm considering to dip back into some of my older fandoms like Harry Potter or Criminal Minds or even Doctor Who. Somehow, I'm just not taking the plunge.

It doesn't help that I've been hitting my limit with being social once I'm done with work for the day. I've also had a week or a bit more than that were I've been sleeping really bad. In part because I just couldn't sleep and in part because "Just one more chapter" or getting hooked on a live ticker for some College Softball games. I really should have known a whole lot better after that first time a game started at 11pm or 11:30pm and I decided to check it out for before I turn of the computer "in 15 minutes" - I ended up keeping track until the end of the games. Outside of that, I did have the problem of being dead tired between 7pm and 9pm, but having to get some stuff done (like showering and eating dinner) and 9pm has gone by, I'm past that point of tired and can't settle down again.

I have started writing the beginnings of some stories on paper though. Some Harry Potter fix its and some attempts at 9-1-1 Lone Star fics. All of them just end up running into me having to refresh my memories of canon though and that motivation has been lacking.

However, I did manage to get a couple of things on my to do list done that I've been dragging for weeks, if not months like ironing and cleaning up/organising my basement storage area which is a bit of a relief.

And a bit of a rec at the end of this post: Quantum Bang is currently in it's posting season with plenty of fix it stories across a variety of fandoms, including a lot of 9-1-1 and Harry Potter. There's also Star Wars, Star Trek, MCU, Naruto, Teen Wolf, NCIS and a couple of fandoms I haven't heard of before and some I'm probably forgetting right now. A new story goes up every 12 or 8 hours depending on if there are 2 or 3 stories scheduled a day. I'm certainly doing a lot of reading there currently.
