Ugh, cannot seem to feel well recently. I keep having headaches, or feeling dizzy or nauseous, or shaky and tired. Things seemed to be improving a bit over the last year or so in terms of my health, but now I'm not so sure. I just have to keep hoping for the best, I guess.
I didn't manage to enter any of the westerosorting tourneys in February, which more than doubled the number of tourneys I've missed in my time there (art tourneys don't count, though - there have to be some standards!). Sorry, Martells, I'm a bad foster; I'll try to do better in March. The game will be ending soon, which will see me heading back to the Starks. I seriously considered offering to mod for the next game, but I think my health is still too unreliable. I'd definitely like to do it one day, though; I love it there, and I'd like to be able to give something back.
As for other stuff I've been doing, there's been nothing particularly exciting. Terra Nova was fun enough that I'm still watching, and I'm kind of addicted to Once Upon a Time. It's strange, I can't decide if I love it or if I'm just desperate to find out what happens. I've also abandoned all the other series I was in the middle of watching (and still not started on A:tLA, although thanks to hamsterwoman and minviendha it's definitely next on the list), and started watching Full Metal Alchemist: Brotherhood. It's so strange to watch, because I've seen the original anime, and there are things that are the same and things that are really different. And some plotlines change from one to the other partway through, so I never know if a character is going to be evil/killed/alive/whatever. Lots of fun, but highly confusing!
I'm also flailing around trying to decide if I should enter Remix Redux. Because panfandom stuff is scary. And what if I can't come up with any ideas? Or I get an author who writes nothing but NC17 tentacle porn? Or I get an author who's really talented, and I'm, y'know, not? Or my remixer hates all of my stories? I'll sign up, though, once I stop flailing and work out which fandoms I want to offer to write for. (Should I branch out and offer for something I've never written before, or should I stick with what I know? You get the idea...) Hopefully it'll be fun, and it'll definitely be a good writing exercise. It's also gotten me to finally get around to creating a fic journal, ad_astra_fic, which is still fairly disorganised, but at least I have somewhere on LJ to post fic where it won't annoy people :)
