Murrrrr...
- RL/thesis-wise, I can finally see the light at the end of the tunnel. As long as nobody rushes out in front of me and adds another X-million kilometres of tunnel, I should be emerging into the light around mid-February/early March. WOO HOO. And then there will be porn, oh yes.
- I've seen those fannish wishlists being posted about the place. I am too addled to come up with one of my own, so for the moment, here's a Saiyuki-flavoured wish fullfilment for
samsarapine who wanted haiku -- Hakkai/Gojyo, and the shortest ficPWP I've ever written:Up again so soon
Gojyo wants to sleep but can't
'Hakkai' means 'eight times' - Aaaaaaaaaaaaages ago, I'd said there was a fic written for this year's
7thnight_smut that I wanted to rec once it was public. It now is -- YAYs! It's "The Morrow's Island Horrors", a Gaiden-themed, Steampunk (STEAMPUNK! EEEE!) AU by
whymzycal, which contains 10K (the public version contains even more Tenpou/Kenren) and it's delicious and everybody should read it. *pokes* - The Archive of Our Own is kind of awesome and fun. I've created an account for me over here, and am a little bit in love with how fabulously RED the site is, as well as the retentive geekery that's gone into the way you can search for fic, and break the search down by pairing (as an aside: I'm the first to upload Sirius/Crowley, and Sirius/Remus/Crowley -- go me!). This is a massive improvement on ff.net, aff.net, Skyehawke, and similar sites, in that I can actually find things on this one. My only 'criticism' at this point is that it's very fic-oriented. It would be fabulous if it eventually allows for meta/essays/manifestos/etc. But it's early days yet, so I'm happy to kick back and see what happens, while enjoying the red in the meantime :D
- Did JKR release Book 8, and nobody told me? Failing that, has someone been poking the HP-wankers with a stick? Because something has got the Snape-fen and the Harmonians all riled up, to the point where there are three posts in one day across
fandom_wank and
the_hms_stfu. I was reading along for the lulz, but after getting to how Lily should have forgiven Snape for calling her a Mudblood while she was trying to keep MWPP from tormenting him, or how Remus has dangerous 'special needs' and shouldn't have been educated alongside decent folk (like Snape, no doubt) and should have been sent to a separate school forfurrieshis kind, it just... We lost the funny :( {That said, this summary of the batshit!Snapefan's argument [and if you're not a batshit!Snapefan, then I'm not talking about you!] did make me LOL: SNAPE WAS A CUDDLY, CUDDLY, MAN AND EVERYONE EVER WAS MEAN TO HIM. - THANK YOU to everybody who responded to my 'hey, so tell me things about Hetalia and Weiss Kreuz' -- I am going to investigate both :D I should clarify that these aren't the only fandoms I plan to gorge myself on once the #@$%ing thesis is done -- just the ones where I wasn't sure what the source was, or where to find it. Other fandoms on my list include Loveless, Bleach (I had already tried it, and didn't find it particularly inspiring, but someone assured me it gets better after a certain arc, so I'll give it another go and stick with it until at least then), Full Metal Alchemist, Junjou Romantica, Antique Bakery, and Code Geass. This is not a complete list, but should be more than enough to keep me out of mischief for a while :D (Spoiler-free thoughts on
yaoiall of the above arerequiredwelcome in the comments) - This was not on anybody's wishlist, but this seems a good a place as any to re-post it: a Saiyuki/WK "crossover" that I did for
caeseria: ( CLICKY ) - And to finish with, a Saiyuki/HP crossover that I put together for
bigbangblackout at
midnitemaraud_r's request: ( CLICKY )
*goes back to thesis*
