The hardest week yet! Harder than angst week, harder still than fluff week. Humor on demand five days a week is killer. -_-

The other problem, which I realized the other night, is that it's also particularly hard when the pieces are short. When you only have 200 or so words, there's not much space for anything more than a short buildup and a punchline. And if the punchline fails, it's not particularly funny. With longer things you can throw in lots of snarky comments and smaller funny things, and even if some of them fall flat you can still achieve overall funniness. ...But it's hard for me to write that many words between 9pm and midnight on the day I need to post something, particularly when the first hour is often spent going "Dammitdammit, what can I write?" >_> Sunday's was posted at 11:57pm, and that was safely early compared to Saturday's, which made it in at 11:59:46 or so.

Anyway. Another odd set of fandoms this week, which I once more blame on the genre. All worksafe (in fact mostly gen), no spoilers to speak of.
