RARE FANDOMS!

I'm not going to put a number on these to define rare, but let's just say all our fandoms that don't get nearly enough love. For me, my favorite rare fandoms are the three Chicago shows (Fire/PD/Med), Quantico (even if I am a little behind) and Brooklyn Nine-Nine.

The Chicago shows are almost like mini-soap operas, but in the best way. On the surface, the shows are about the fire department, the police officers and the medical staff of Chicago, but really they are just about the characters and all the ups and downs they face. And they face a lot of ups and downs!

A few of my favorite ladies

Quantico drew me in from episode 1 last year. The way the story is told — half in present day and half in flashback — is just so intriguing and I love watching how it all comes together just as much as I love all the characters.

And Brooklyn Nine-Nine is probably my favorite comedy. It's hysterical. All the characters are so well-defined and so distinct but somehow it just works and I adore it.

Now tell me about your favorite rare fandoms!

So, yeah. *sigh*

I got no words over the weekend, but I did manage to get a little ahead on my knitting. I'm half a hat and a pair of mittens beyond schedule, so that is nice. But I haven't even plotted an outline for my SOJ. Yeah, not feeling exceptionally proud of that.

And there's snow on the ground. Not much here, although I know it's bad in some places, and I do need it to sell some snowplows, but...

Okay, so big plans for this week? I have managed to secure a sequestered day all for myself on Friday to do nothing but SoJ. I'm very excited. No family, no knitting, just ALL THE WORDS!

How are you all doing on your SoJ? On NaNoWriMo? On the myriad of other things you've promised yourself you'd get done?

This is going to be our week!

I need someone to look at my Swap of Joy fic, please and thank you. It's just under 2000 words and I mostly need it read for continuity and obvious typos. Punctuation and grammar checks are always welcome, too.

Thanks in advance to anyone who offers themselves up for ~~sacrifce~~, um, service. Yeah. Service.
