In case anyone is interested...

... picowrimo now has a March season. Last November we decided to split the three months more evenly along the year, and this is our first attempt to have a Spring season.

There aren't many participants so far, as most people have wandered off to other places - although we do have a Dreamwidth feed, too - but we find these virtual get-togethers helpful to unstuck our blocked stories and generally exchange our experiments with other struggling writers.

So, if you want to join the fun, or just to read the discussions, hop over to picowrimo. The posts are accessible for everyone, and perhaps you'll find the one or other snippet interesting.

As for me, I've decided not to put up the next chapter of "Brothers-in-Arms" to AO3 just yet. Usually, I re-post there my older stories one chapter a day, but since Chapter 2 hasn't had a single hit yet, I think I'll wait until my regular readers (all 2 or 3 of them) catch up with me. Otherwise what is the point?

I must admit that I'm a bit disappointed. I know the Cadfael fandom is a small one, and I deal with secondary (or tertiary) characters in this story, but I secretly hoped that after "Lost in the Past" having been such an unexpected hit, people would get interested in reading about the same characters in a canon-compliant story, too. Ah, well.

If my whining got you interested and you're planning to hop over to AO3 to take a look, I think a fair warning is necessary: "Brothers-in-Arms" starts off as a slash story. Nothing explicit or descriptive, and one half of the couple is killed off early on, but I know that quite a few people don't like slash and I wouldn't want you folks to stumble upon it unawares.

I've been having a kind of involuntary writing hiatus due to lack of inspiration for most of February but I do have some stories I should be working on, so I might drop by at Pico. It's always very nice!
