I woke with a migraine this morning. I slept badly. I'm blaming both on yesterday's vast levels of stress. I'm hoping that I can nap this morning, but who knows? I don't generally have luck with that. Fortunately, Amerge helped the headache.

I'm considering signing up for the Worldbuilding Exchange 2018 (worldbuildingex). I think that, if I only offer things I'm enthusiastic about writing, I could do it as part of my current flow of writing. I've pulled out the fandoms that I might consider offering and will narrow things down later when I'm actually awake.

One of my WIP has gone into territory that requires really major world building. So now I have two stories that require me to build worlds only hinted at in canon. Well, the latest one isn't even vaguely hinted at in canon because canon is a movie aimed at kids that's meant to be in the real world taken a step sideways. I kind of knew this was coming a few days ago, but I was hoping to avoid it. I'm still hoping that I can sidestep most of it for this one. The other one will be Peter Pevensie in Charn, well before Jadis's time.

I still need a beta for that Smallville/more general Superman story that I posted about a few days ago. I've asked Scott, but he's been too tired and busy to even open the Gdoc.

I've got four different House of Sulfur and Mercury stories that I've worked on in the last several weeks. I don't know when I'll finish any of them. There're another several stories in that series that I've started but not worked on in a while or haven't yet started. I've got three other WIP that are new-ish-- a crossover, a Rurouni Kenshin thing, and an original fic.

Hope your migraine goes away soon and good luck with your WIPs.

Arlo is currently deeply immersed in Smallville, and he says he would be willing to beta read. I have noooo idea how that would go, but he has a strong sense of how stories work, so I think this could be worth trying.

The post with more information on what the story is can be found here: https://the-rck.dreamwidth.org/1239090.html

He should look at that and at the previous story (linked in the post) before deciding. Neither story is really strongly rooted in Smallville beyond the Lex and Clark were friends when Clark was in high school part. This forks from Smallville fairly early on, partly because it only works if the two characters are on the same side and partly because I don't know later canon very well.

I'll let him know and report back here.
