extrapenguinMoving requires packing, which is terrible. Don't move if you can help it, kids. Even if your life may fit into a trailer and stuffedish car.
I also don't deal well with leaving. Part of it is that I'm terrible at keeping in touch with people outside of my immediate environment.
This December will likely be spent first writing stressfic, which may or may not be Yuletide-related (I'm taking my prompts file and outlines with me), then gorging on Yulefic. Let's see what this flavor of stressfic looks like, from outside and inside. Perhaps, come author reveals, the![[community profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png)
fandom_stocking stockings will have all been posted, and I can start filling them?
In more positive/less gloomy news, I've discovered I like nekomimi. (Example.) This leads to a very cracky fic idea: all Dixingians have cat ears. Zhao Yunlan, cat person, likes petting Shen Wei's cat ears, which Shen Wei also likes. At some point, Zhao Yunlan pets Ye Zun's cat ears, and this is the first time ever anyone has been nice to Ye Zun, so he abandons his world domination plans just a little bit so that Zhao Yunlan can continue petting his ears. This is probably some subconscious reaction to stress: I just want a cat(person) to pet, and I also want to be petted. Also indicative of my stress fantasies' shapes: "And then they all lived happily ever after, very cuddlily."

Date: 2018-12-20 07:23 (UTC)Oh, whoa, they've actually started posting stockings again. I was starting to wonder if they'd linger in limbo forever!
Good luck with the move! (I hate packing, and also moving, and am also terrible about keeping in touch. I wonder sometimes how much those things are related to moving countries at 11, going to a place I'd never been to before and never expecting to return to the only place I'd ever lived. I'm guessing some.)

Date: 2018-12-20 14:22 (UTC)!! Perhaps they'll all be posted by the end of the year? It could be a nice start-of-the-year fest, then. I'll see if I can find inspiration from anyone I know, or find people who've requested my fandoms. (My newest ones sadly do not have tags for the comm.)

A whole lot, probably. I moved in a way less drastic way at an earlier age, but still a complete reorganization of my social life, and I do think it's exacerbated any natural tendencies to be terrible at keeping in touch.
