superhero_muses--Are you on social media and can your readers interact with you?
I actually do not have a presence on Twitter as a fanfic writer! Twitter's public and widespread nature makes me very leery of it as a place to discuss fanfic--in my case specifically, a lot of the actors whose characters I write about are extremely engaged on Twitter. And because it's pro wrestling, there's a weird level at which they're basically RP-ing their characters a lot of the time (for example, they'll "argue" with whatever wrestler they're currently feuding with, playing up the conflict that's on tv), so it's extra-awkward if they see anything about fic, like the character itself is seeing it. So for fic-author purposes I stick to AO3 and Tumblr!
Writing this week was mostly research and planning, but I'm hoping to get some words on the screen soon. The daughter of my husband's former college teacher has come to live with us (she was going to school in Tokyo and her dorm basically kicked her out), so... that's a bit of a damper! We'll see if I can find a way to work around it... How goes social-distanced writing for you all?
