--How does your current WiP differ from your previous work, and what's pushing you in this new direction?

Answering these questions really, really makes me want to get some writing work done, but real life work takes precedence and it's been impossible to even keep up with that recently. I guess that's the goal of the questions, though... to find inspiration to write!

To be fair, almost nothing I could write for Superman/Batman is going to be entirely new--I've just written too much. But a historical AU is a little bit different, I haven't done many of those. It's been inspired by wanting to get away from current canon a little bit and play around in a new sandbox, I think. Where are you breaking new ground this week?

Database maintenance

Good morning, afternoon, and evening!

We're doing some database and other light server maintenance this weekend (upgrading the version of MySQL we use in particular, but also probably doing some CDN work.)

I expect all of this to be pretty invisible except for some small "couple of minute" blips as we switch between machines, but there's a chance you will notice something untoward. I'll keep an eye on comments as per usual.

Ta for now!

I was travelling last week, and am late this week, but nonetheless here!

--What's the biggest risk you're taking with your current WiP, either creatively or personally?

Oh gosh, at this point I feel like writing and posting anything is a risk for me. I guess tackling a historical AU that I don't have a lot of knowledge of would be up there as well (but I do love doing research!)

What risks are you taking for your current WiP?
