Livejournal has so obviously been attacked by the NaNoWriMo bug. I'm seeing people enthusiastically count their words on flist and all those little pics of the meter measuring your progress. It seems like everyone is doing better than me though. =( I only have 298 words written, and with people talking about five thousand words plus, I feel a teeny bit guilty. I suppose once I finish my paper this weekend, I'll try to bring the count up to ten thousand. And no, I will probably never post the whole thing, though I'll filter clips out.
Along with the courtesan urge, I've been digging out the fic recs through my flist. Maybe because it looks like writing is definitely going to play a prominent role in my future or that my life has taken a little twist I didn't expect, I've been wanting to read more fics lately. Everything from Snape/Lupin to
this fantastic Pansy/Millicent fic by
fidelis_haven that
lilith_morgana recced has been going through my computer. Am looking for other fics to read. Mostly in the
Fruits Basket,
Kyou Kara Maou,
Bleach,
Monster,
Samurai Champloo,
Saiyuki,
Cowboy Bebop,
Naruto, and
Harry Potter fandoms. If I rabidly drool over your recs, please don't hurt me. =)
Sakura-love is coming back for
Naruto fans. Being gone for so long, there's a tendency to forget her existence, but exist she does and yes!
She's dedicated to her new place and in Tsunade's words she's
incredible at what she's doing. And it also turns out that Naruto...
( spoilers )Akito is gorgeous and cute and I love her more than ever.
The con was a success if you consider that there are few fans of Akito out there.
