dagas_isa1. I managed to complete the first draft of my thesis today. I still need to add more citations, take screenshots and make them pretty and explainy, and create fun charts, graphics and tables, but the core writing has been done. Zero to approximately 30 pages done in one week. Would have been done sooner, but I was lazy on Thursday and Saturday.
2. So, there existed a possibility that one of my fics was being ranted about on fanficrants. So I ended up leaving a question just to make sure (specific story might indeed be worthy of ranting about, but quite objectively not for the reason the ranter was saying), turns out it was some other fic they don't quite remember. But heh, got an interesting response from hir.
"Wait, are you the author on the Pit that wrote the really depressing Fukunaga/Akiyama fic where they were both kind of drunk and she kissed him and he turned her down, and to add insult to injury it was heavily implied that his reason for turning her down was because he saw her as a guy?
Because that story almost made me cry. And that's a compliment, since I rarely actually care about what happens in fic."
So uh yeah, that's kind of an awesome response to the fic (also, authorial intent being meaningless, I don't think I've shared my interpretation of why Akiyama turned her down, because multiple interpretations are yummy).
3. Speaking of other fanfiction stuff, I've gotten two requests to do a sequel of "Corruption of Kanzaki Nao"... particularly one where Akiyama finds out about what happened. While I'm certainly not averse to the idea, I'm not sure if I can make it safe for the Pit. Especially because some of the better jokes would definitely push it into explicit territory. But this is probably the first time I've actually had more than one person request a sequel.
Oh yeah, and I managed to get my FF Exchange fic in on time. I'm proud. Now to work on my LGBT fest fic, which is still stuck in the mire of PoV switching, and I haven't even started rewriting the part with the aliens yet.
4. And in yet more Liar Game news, vol 12. is coming out soon. The cover is kind of awesome. Probably one of my favorites of the covers so far. So I guess I'm going down to Kinokuniya soon to get a copy ordered.
5. TILTH! Muu and I finally go around to having his birthday/our online-anniversary dinner at Tilth again. We do have pictures of yummy foods and even one of us at the table. Also, Friday was absolutely gorgeous, and after spending the day in the student lounge, being able to eat out on the Patio was especially appreciated.
6. We might actually see a movie in the theater Wednesday. Alert the presses. It goes something like this.
Muu: "Hmm...how about we go see a movie. We haven't been to one in a while." (for reference's sake, last one we saw in the theaters was Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince)
Me: "You just want to see Iron Man II -.-"
Muu: "We did see the first one in theaters."
7. I don't know what to put for seven, but it's a lucky number, so let's end this here. Happy birthday, J-chan! ♥♥♥
