So I feel like I should post to explain where the stories have gone...

Problem is, I don't know!

I mean, I could explain how I *am* writing behind the scenes, but it's original stories that will be available if you want to, you know, *pay* for them, which isn't really what the fandom community signs on for.

Or I could explain how my fandom interest is splintered now, and the people reading my fic are fewer and farther between, thus resulting in less feedback and therefore less excitement on my part, but that sounds like a complaint and I don't mean it as one.

Or I could shrug and go view more LOLcats or Fail Blog, which has been eating up more and more of my time.

This is less of a slump and more of a grand canyon.

Bad, naughty, uncooperative fic! *Spanks it* "And then, the oral sex!" Okay, clearly I am a bit nutty. Perhaps I can blame it on the antihistamines I took? They're making it hard to type properly, that's for sure.

I want cupcakes. I want strawberry cuppycakes! RIGHT NOW. Of course, it's almost 9 at night and I have no cupcakes. The closest ingredient I have is frozen strawberries. *Sigh*

Oooh, cupcakes. I want cupcakes. (Actually, I just want proper cooked food, which I have not had in about three weeks now, ever since Dad took over the cooking since I am supposed to stay off my feet as much as possible right now, and the amount of pain I'm in encourages me to do as I am told. [/whine])

So what is your dad's version of cooking, then?

I WANT CUPCAKES. I should have gone out to the store today and bought ingredients, then I could have made them. But I didn't. TOO LATE NOW. *HUGS*

My father can cook: spaghetti, chili (both of these are quite good), sloppy joes (with canned sauce), tacos (packaged seasoning at best--he also buys the preseasoned taco meat), scrambled eggs, and tuna salad. Everything else is frozen (pizza, etc.), or from the supermarket deli. He rarely remembers to make a vegetable. (I pleaded, and there are raw veggies now that turn up on my plate.)

In the past week, we've had: Chinese from the supermarket deli (twice), fried chicken from the supermarket deli, sloppy joes, tacos, frozen pizza, and Subway. These are all tasty, but after three weeks of eating like this, I'd like to go back to my very-little-red-meat, lots-of-veggies, whole-grains, style of cooking dinner. :)

Well, you know, when I think about it, I don't think my dad could even cook that much, so it seems like yours is doing pretty well other than the whole veggie-lacking thing. I totally understand you wishing for a return to your preferred foods, though!

*Hugs*

My dad's been on his own a lot, though (there was a lot of time when either my mom worked nights, or they were divorced, and I wasn't living with him), so he had to learn something. But it's all heavy on ground meat, fat, carbs, and convenience foods--which is great when he cooks once a week or so, but will definitely be a nice thing to get away from in a few weeks. :)
