I betaed fic for the first time in a long while (years) today, and, wow, it was fun! The other times I betaed it was for my best friend and for my long-time beta, and both times I wasn't accustomed to critical reading yet and I didn't actually LOVE the stories, so it was more like a chore I didn't mind doing than actual FUN.
(Which doesn't mean that I was any good at it - but I'm pretty sure I've gotten better at it.)

I started taking the pill again three days ago (not as contraception but because of polycystic disease and hyperandrogenism). The last time I took it I stopped after two months because it seemed like the trigger for my depression. I switched to another brand, and of course three days are no proper indicator at all, but I do feel a bit sick - maybe it's just food poisoning, though.

Trying to write my sequel prompts, and I'm starting to wonder if that was really such a good idea. I reread "From The Ruins" and the Batman Elseworlds and now I'm INTIMIDATED by my own writing (does that ever happen to anybody else?). I feel like I can't really do those stories justice but just writing some quick little fic, and on the other hand, I'm not sure I've got the energy for SV left to try anything more in-depth. I've also reread parts of "Devil's Deal", and while I still think it's a good story, I would edit lots of it if I ever re-wrote it.
