I think they call this a signal boost?

blah blah I continue to be simultaneously crappy at writing my dissertation and obsessed with it to the point that I feel guilty even talking to people online none of this is surprising. I have a backlog of recs so long that it makes me cringe but I'm probably not going to be able to make my usual "once a month" update. once my exams are over I swear I'll be a reliable fandom citizen again! also, uh. if I haven't commented on your fic it may be because it's in that pile. or else I may just suck even worse than usual at commenting. yeah.

did you know I'm keeping an updated list of Messi prompts from footballkink and footballkink2? you do now!

I have not seen much activity on touchline lately, and obviously I have not been helping much myself. (it doesn't help that every time I think of a prompt I go BUT I WANT TO WRITE IT lol oh self.) but still. we need prompts before we can write! and also people should come and fill more prompts! double-, triple- and quadruple-fills welcome! come play with us!

and finally, rp_manifesto is having a "pimp your OTP month" sort of thing. like RPF? like a pairing? go make a manifesto and make everybody else like them too! (except don't do Rafa/Novak, aramley and I are going to do that one and if you steal it I WILL CUT YOU.) you've got until the end of June!
