What I've Been Up To (8 January)

cydonianmystery I admit that I haven't been using this site as much as I had planned, and I will be honest that I think Dreamwidth has some problems. Most noteworthy is that I feel like not many people see posts on your own dash at all, and that to get anywhere you need to post to groups instead. I've noticed Samantha (samanthathesapphicsiren) hasn't really posted anything since Boxing Day, probably because of similar sentiments.
But anyway... for the most part I've been battling a serious surge in my chronic illness for the last two weeks, which is fortunately appearing to have begun to subside. I don't feel like I'm gonna drop dead, and I'm not in crippling pain, so that's a plus in my book.
Me and Rhona (scotsdragon) have been working on various projects in the meantime; mostly a long-overdue return to fanfiction writing. Rhona has been working on some Forgotten Realms stuff, with me providing a little help here and there, and I have been working on yet another incarnation of the Fallout 4 rewrite I've wanted to make since 2016. It's tentatively called Fallout: New Commonwealth, though I may drop the "new" part. We'll see.
Among other things, it includes proper acknowledgement of the Sole Survivor's military background, Sarah Lyons as the Brotherhood Elder, and the revelation that the Brotherhood of Steel are secret tabletop nerds. Also, a plot that isnt completely nonsensical, the BoS not pulling a giant airship out of their asses, and a ruthless deconstruction of the Minutemen and their patrotic nostalgia and settler/colonialism.
This effort builds on my previous attempts at a rewrite, so who knows, something may actually come of it this time.
