Smut? or social issue smut?
Would I like to read quarantine fanfic? I'm not really sure.
On the one hand, it's an easy twist on the classic stranded/safehouse trope family, which has many well-established virtues.
On the other hand, is it fun to read about something if you're undergoing the same thing? If it's boring you? If it's stressing you out? If it's forcing you to homeschool algebra to a kid who at this point knows more math than you do?
What do y'all think?
My entire job can be done from home, so my days aren't really that different, except that on slow days I can wander into the kitchen and bake bread.
The kidlet was home for spring break, and suddenly the university is going online-only and shutting all the dorms, so we have to make a quick road trip and clean out their room. I suspect we're going to be somewhat under each other's feet, but we're both introverts and good negotiators. As a mom, I admit I'm happy that if my kid should get sick, I'd be there to provide soup.
I'm missing the spouse, but it seems irresponsible to take my city germs to his tiny town, so for the nonce we have an online-only marriage.

Heh. "Online Marriage" sounds like it could be some type of modern-era fic trope. *g*

I'm glad your family is doing okay, and I'm sorry you and your spouse are separated.

Glad to hear you're all doing well! I'm holding up well, too. I have everything I need, and am not actually having a terribly hard time with social distancing as of yet. I work from home normally, so that's good, too.

Time for cozy historical romance, I think.

Fansplaining just discussed this topic in some detail -- podcast & transcript
https://www.fansplaining.com/episodes/122-wash-your-hands-and-read-some-fic
The Fansplaining hosts claimed that "rona" is what cool kids are calling the virus. I'm doubtful but I'm curious what kidlet thinks.

The kidlet says, "Of *course* I can't speak for the cool kids. Who do you think I am?"
no subject
I think the difference really is that we're going through this, it's too close to home, and unlike being snowed in or in witness protection or what have you, there's really no clear end date.
no subject
As long as it was fluffy enough I would totally read one.
