Hello, flist! It's been a while! ^_~

So I recently finished reading a book of short stories by an author I discovered really randomly - I basically picked up the book on a table at a bookstore because the title (This Cake Is for the Party) intrigued me, and ended up buying the book, and really enjoying it

I think SF is a tricky fandom for fanworks. I can't speak for other writers, but I know I definitely have a hard time keeping up with all the crazy, ridiculous things the series has thrown at us, just in terms of having a framework to write in that makes any kind of sense? XD;;

Sometimes I think it may just be me - I'm really not into the whole tokusatsu genre, so I find a lot of the really crazy things that have happened hard to relate to, and therefore...hard to write about. And IDK, I wonder if that has something to do with why more people aren't writing? Sometimes I just get so overwhelmed with whatever crazy thing has just happened in the episode that it makes it hard to focus on what I really love about the series, which is the characters... At least that's been my main roadblock. *nod* And I wonder, just in terms of how low the hit counts and all of that are for the fics that are being posted, if a lot of people just aren't reading or seeking out fic for the same reasons? It's a bit of a mystery to me, really. O_o

But yeah, I definitely miss the old days of LJ, where people and communities were active, and everything wasn't relegated to tumblr. I haven't really been able to 100% embrace tumblr because it just feels so impersonal to me. I keep telling myself I need to check it more, for SF related things, especially artwork, since I just haven't seen a lot of what's out there, but I admit I'm really behind. XD;;
