przedIt's been ages since I've posted here, but this, I couldn't resist.
On Friday, two very exciting things will happen.
The first episode of The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, the series I have been waiting for FOREVERRRRRR, will finally drop.
And the basketball team of my grad school alma mater, the Wisconsin Badgers, will play their first, and hopefully not last, game of this year's March Madness.
In honour of these events, I will be wearing my Bucky Badger, Winter Soldier t-shirt all day.
(You have no idea how excited I was to find that shirt on TeePublic when I went looking for some better Winter Soldier merch than Marvel has supplied.)
In other news, I've finished a first draft of the wayyyyy late Stucky FTH story, only 19 months after it was due. In a bid for poetic justice, I used this year's FTH to bid on a beta for the story. I might actually get it polished and posted in the not too distant future!

I somehow never made it to a game while I lived there (I was in a very demanding program and was mostly doing school stuff all the time) but I make it a point to watch the Badgers as far as they go in March Madness every year.

Fortunately, I love editing, so now I'm just waiting for my beta's comments to come through so I can begin the tweaking. (Given that it's slightly over 130 pages in Word, I know it's going to take her a while to slog through it.)

Date: 2021-03-21 03:13 pm (UTC)At least I'm at the editing part of the story, and I love editing as much as I hate writing first drafts.
