So many changes have been implemented recently over at ffnet. I was hoping this latest suggestion wouldn't actually get implemented (I saw it suggested in one of the blog entries), but it did get implemented. Stories are now sortable by review count, amount of favorites, and amount of follows, which are now visible to everyone. I feel so exposed. =x
But well, I immediately went and tried the new sorting. I am curious to see where my stories would end up. Amazingly,
Hoshi ga Hoshii desu is the story with the most reviews over at the
Shaman King section. /o\ I really should...go back and edit some of the glaring errors in this fic. OTL I remember that back then, the ability to follow individual stories hadn't been implemented yet, so I was mostly getting follows for my entire account, haha... The other highly reviewed fics seem mostly of the romance genre. I wonder if that's the case with other fandoms too. Most likely...
I don't like feeling so exposed. ): I think I wouldn't mind as much if the information just wasn't visible, but the sorting could still happen. (An option for hiding the info?) Perhaps as a reader I would feel differently...so I went and tried the sorting out with the Avengers and Thor section, which is most of what I've been reading lately. Haha, I've pretty much read all the most reviewed/favorited/followed fics about Loki. OTL Clearly I've been reading too many Loki fics... I suppose this would help me with finding initial fic to read for new fandoms I get into... but uuughhhh, as a writer, I am definitely panicking.
*tries the sorting with Harry Potter* Yup, I've read most of these too. OTL
If this is here to stay... well, I hope I get used to it. =/
Anyway, onto funner stuff. Yu Wo plurked two more questions addressed to the Legend of Sun Knight characters. Translation below the cut~. (These two aren't spoilerish for where we are currently in the translations. One is addressed to Neo and Aldrizzt, and the other to Earth).
this plurk:
http://www.plurk.com/p/gubbri Q: Neo Sun, compared with your previous lifestyle back at the Holy Temple, what part of your lifestyle as an adventurer gives you the most trouble?
Neo: The part that gives me the most trouble is "where is this."
Q: Aldrizzt, has anything changed regarding what troubles you the most in your lifestyle as an adventurer, before and after meeting Neo? Can you give us specifics?
Aldrizzt: Yes, there was a change. Before meeting Neo, what troubled me the most was getting chased [and killed] by my clan. After meeting Neo, things that trouble me are actually quite numerous, but the matter that troubles me the most is probably frequently having to prevent Neo from killing other people.
(Lucathia: Neo. XD;;; Damn, now I want to write Neo and Aldrizzt again...)
this plurk:
http://www.plurk.com/p/guddil Q: Georgo Earth, will you die from exhaustion in the end?
Georgo: I-I'd like to die like that! I-If only... Can I stop stuttering?
Feel free.
Georgo: If only that bastard Sun stopped hindering me, I would be able to die from exhaustion really soon, and gloriously meet the God of Light!
Q: So have you ever successfully (beeeep) without Grisia's disturbance?
Georgo: Of course!
Q: What age were you when you succeeded for the first time?
Georgo: ...next question!
(By "exhaustion," it was more referring to using up his essence/vitality *cough* from too much sex)
(Lucathia: *face plants* Geoooorgo. You totally twisted that question! Ceo's answer would have been completely different... OTL Now I'm imagining a whole league of kids that Georgo fathered... OTL. Mothers trying to get Georgo to acknowledge his kids...haha... but how could he be the father when he's the honest Earth Knight, right? Oh dear, I might want to write this. I wonder if Georgo is embarrassed about his age when he succeeded, or if he really hasn't ever succeeded and just doesn't want to admit it...)
Oh, Neko Kreuz (artist for the LSK manhua) and Rippleless (artist for LSK merchandise as well as non official LSK doujinshi) have been plurking some drawings~.
