Writing natter + ficlet (Merlin, Gwen Char Piece)

So, I haven't been writing much lately, and I'm missing it. Mostly. It tends to take over my life for hours on end when I do, so it's a hard thing to love unequivocally, what with the hand pain and the fugue state and the lost hours that were promised to other things.

I'm thinking I need to limit myself, but in a pushy way. To that end, I'm gonna try to write a couple of times a week for at least 30 min, but no longer than an hour. Hopefully, this will be on one of the several WIPs I've got going in my head - Winsync, even ::crosses fingers::

I'm also kinda feeling the need to get the juices flowing again though (apparently). To that end I have a) signed up for this year's apocalyptothon and b) decided to try 15_minute_fic on for size.

The first results of which are below the cut. ( Read the resulting Merlin Ficlet. )

Now I just need to pump another 15-45 min into something else. Unless posting this counts? Or making my shiny new icon? ::glances at clock:: I kinda thing I'd better let it count...
