♠ Well, I know I've been terribly absent. RL has been kicking my ass, and I've actually been trying to be productive. However, I'm come down with some heinous cold so instead of going to uni I'm curled up watching Hawaii Five-0.

♠ Also, much as I have been out of fandom of late, I have a new obsession. A Game of Thrones. And, more specifically,

DID YOU SEE THAT Dance With Dragons is FINALLY BEING RELEASED?!?!
Gah! I totally have pre-ordered it. Let's see, when Feast For Crows came out, he'd made us wait FOUR bloody years for it, and it had been split into two books: Feast For Crows and Dance With Dragons because of length. So basically, this new book had already been written, and approved for publishing, yet we still had to wait until July of this year for it.

Granted, he was very, very ill for awhile there, and then HBO approved the show, so I get that he was very, very busy. I'm actually glad that I got rid of my Premium channels, because to be perfectly honest, I don't think this show is going to measure up to the books; I mean, even HBO can't get away with a lot of the graphic material that is in this series, and I do really prefer my own imagination when it comes to the characters and all. *g*

But that said, I was so excited I found a fellow Song of Fire and Ice fan, and yes, Daenerys fan! Heh, I can't WAIT to see what happens in the new book!

But fangirling over this masterpiece of literature aside, I miss you tons, and send lots and lots of hugs your way. (I re-read "Flexibility" quite often, and can be very, very patient...so yeah, whenever you feel inspired again, I know I, for one, will be eagerly awaiting the next installment!

Thankyou for the hugs! <3 RL is kicking my ass mainly in a good way, in the sense that I'm just very busy, but hugs are always appreciated. xD I am honoured that 'Flexibility' is still being reread...I've got about three weeks to go and then I'm on holidays, so we shall have to see what transpires when I have more time.

I did indeed see that. xD I actually really need to go back and read all the books again, because I read them a really long time ago and a lot of details are very sketchy. Hence I'm not really sure whether the show is measuring up to the books. :p It's certainly very graphic though; a lot more violent than I expected, actually, because I thought they'd want to try and make it palatable to a broader audience.

My one gripe (and I have the same gripe about True Blood) is the random gratuitous sex scenes with no relevance to the plot, but hey. I'll tolerate them.
