Lesson learned this summer: Carry an umbrella wherever I go.
BOY HAS IT BEEN ONE RAINY JUNE. Yamamoto, somehow I blame you.
Things!
1. If you missed it on the comm a few days ago, knights_manga posted a translation of chapter one of Gokudera's Secret Bullet story, Bakudan Bambino. It's an absolute must-read if you're a fan of Gokudera, especially if you've ever wondered about the period between his running away from home and finally joining the Vongola. I'm pretty sure this is the only canon we've ever gotten concerning that part of his past (well, not counting like a two-second flashback during the Daily Life arc). And it's really good, and I can't wait for the next two chapters.
2. Happy Birthday, viridianphoenix! Hope you have a great day. <3
3. Question: Would anyone be interested in betaing a KHR fic for me? The mods over at khr_undercover have requested that everyone who signs up for round 2 (WHICH IS STILL OPEN BTW if anyone hasn't completely burnt out from mini-bang XD) find someone to beta their entries before submitting them. So if anyone on my flist is interested and wouldn't mind reading over my submission (which probably won't be finished until at least a couple of weeks from now), let me know. I HAVE NEVER ACTUALLY WORKED WITH A BETA BEFORE, so uh. This should be interesting. XD
4. MEME WHICH IS PURELY OUT OF CURIOSITY AND I ASSURE YOU IN NO WAY HAS ANYTHING TO DO WITH THE FIC CHALLENGE MENTIONED ABOVE:
What do you think are the "trademarks" of the fiction that I write? What type of themes or characterization notes or quirks keep on manifesting in my writing? Essentially, what do you think is a stereotypically "Makeste" way of writing fic?
I totally will not be taking notes at all, I swear.
