onedeadplotbunnyA Hyperfocused introduction: I've been here about a year, I think, mostly in observational lurker mode. I've been writing almost as long as I've been reading, it seems. My gateway drug was poetry, and it will probably always be my comfort zone.
While I've always been fannish, I started writing fic in earnest in 2002, when I fell in love with Smallville, or more specifically, I fell in love with Clark and Lex falling for each other. I've since branched out into a bunch of other fandoms. Mostly slash, but not exclusively.
Now I'm slowly coming out of a rough patch that started in mid 2010. I spent three months in the hospital/rehab after surgery for a diabetic foot wound, and had a very difficult time getting back to fic writing mode. My dad died in December 2011, which didn't exactly help matters. I managed about a drabble's worth of Sports Night for the Porn Battle in 2011, a Yuletide treat, and McShepMatch in 2012; 6 Yuletide things (1 fic and 5 tiny treats) in 2013. Things picked up some in the last quarter of 2014, thanks in good part to Fan_Flashworks, which gave me plotbunnies I felt fairly comfortable attempting.
I'm hoping to get things flowing again, and maybe try something new. Except for a few drabbles and poems, I haven't really written a new fandom since my writing crisis started. I've read a lot, but haven't had the confidence to do much with it. I do have some long-standing (long-hopping?) bunnies I'd like to write, and needa kick in the ass encouragement to do, assuming I even can. I'm much better with character studies, and vignettes than long and plotty. Hopefully there'll be a zombie revival for my plotbunnies here.
If you want to read me, I'm Hyperfocused on LJ, too. My AO3 is http://archiveofourown.org/users/HYPERFocused/works
