not a fic

of course

Of course I’m late to the news that the mod of Unconventional Courtship has stepped down from the comm and as of now the fest isn’t running this year. Of course.

I had ideas for UC but then again I can use one idea to create a rewrite and the other for Iddy Iddy Bang Bang if that runs this year.
