Apparently when you get a new battery, you are meant to let it completely drain, and then fully charge it.

It feels weird to deliberately drain the battery in my phone. And kinda... mean? I'm ignoring it's forlorn beeps of being critically low on battery, and opening youtube to try and drain it more and-- I'm aware that my phone does not have feelings, but sorry, phone! I swear it's for the best!

I'm thinking of writing fanfic for NaNoWriMo-- specifically the Tar Miriel/King's Man femslash I've had kicking around. I was originally planning to write something original, and I even have a couple of ideas, but they're not as solid as the Tar Miriel/King's Man fic.

It feels kinda like cheating to do a fanfic? But I know it's not-- and it's an investment in being more likely to complete NaNo. A fic where I have reasonable idea of what the plot will be, and which comes with pre-built ninjas* to throw at it if it gets stuck, is way more likely to get finished. And my original ideas aren't going to go up in a puff of smoke if I don't do NaNo with them! I can always write them later, assuming I'm not hit by a bus or something.

Plus, the planned fic will be a relatively high fraction original, considering it's a Character With No Direct Dialogue/An OC. So that'll at least be practice for original works.**

*Not literal ninjas. Literal Sauron though!
