So I do think I've recovered from the latest crippling bout of self-doubt, mostly.
Those of you who know me know that I procrastinate like hell. Not because I'm averse to doing work, but because I'm a perfectionist to the highest degree, and the task of sitting down/standing up/assuming whatever position is necessary and working on something

But this is... Academic writing more than novel writing. I wish you much luck!

...I am admittedly guilty with the same thing with academia, except possibly more so because I actually AM good at writing papers at the last minute. I tend to get As on them. My bad habits are positively reinforced. /facepalm

I've gotten better at paper writing since I've come to college at least! Maybe I've learned a thing or two after all in these past four years. This paper I'm finishing up isn't going to be my masterpiece or anything, but I am looking forward to sharing some of my resources for it at "Undone Sundays."

With stories, I think I tend to -- not run out of steam, exactly, but I hit a bump and end up turning the bump into a mountain of Oh God How Am I Going To Get Past This I Do Not Know Enough And I Suck. Hetalia's made it worse, in some ways, because I am convinced that I have to research everything ever before I can even type a friggin' sentence.

Not to mention everything else I'm stuck on lately.
So I'm really, really pleased that you feel better about all this crazy, 'cause someone should. *smile*
(also yes OMG how did you not watch Tutu before this~)

And as for you -- stop it. Stop it right now. I think Mith and I might need to introduce you to the write-x-words-in-x-minutes game.
(I don't know! I mean, christ, I'm an Utena fan, I really should've seen it ages ago. But I have finished the first half of the series now and I KIND OF LOVE IT A LOT. I don't know if I'll end up ficcing it, as I am entirely satisfied with the series so far and expect to remain so, considering how well it's crafted, but I uh possibly ship Fakir/Ahiru something fierce.)

But the x-words-in-x-minutes game is -- but the words have to be correct words otherwise the fic doesn't hold together with voice and theme and -- eeeeeeep.
(*griiiiiiins* Oh I think you'll remain satisfied. *does not spoil!* There are things I could fic for it, but they're thematic and meta more than anything else. And I ship Fakir/Ahiru too.)

We are making you play the game.
(*nod* And as I usually write fic to fill in the missing bits -- yeah.
Mith and I are cosplaying them, I think. Because she would be such a hot Fakir. And I -- I just really really adore Ahiru. She is that kind of protagonist done right and oh god I want to hug her forever and ever.)

AND I SEE YOU ARE WATCHING TUTU (llamrei will be pleased) I APPROVE OF THE WATCHING OF TUTU. :D)

She should be pleased, she sent me the DVDs because she is SO AWESOME LIKE THAT. AWESOME LIKE THE SHOW IS AWESOME. EXCEPT MORE AWESOME BECAUSE SHE ACTUALLY EXISTS.

SHE IS THE MOST AWESOME. And also existing, I am very happy that she exists. :D HOW FAR HAVE YOU GOTTEN IN THE SERIES THOUGH?

Finished the first season! I adore Ahiru to ridiculous extremes oh gosh she is so damn cute without being saccharine, which...I do not find often enough in anime. (Also man does she have great chemistry with Fakir. *cough*) But show! I love show! Is so brilliantly constructed, and the attention to continuity is beauuuuuuuutiful.

Also, hi! Followed you back from JF due to saying_yes_2010 and thought you seemed pretty cool!

Hi there! I am glad you think I am cool! ...I am kind of an utter dork, but uh, hopefully I am a cool dork.

I am also a complete dork! S-so there's that?
