Over the past few years, I've noticed a pattern where I go into a spiral of writer's insecurity after posting certain types of fic. These are usually little ficlets, or fics made up of thematically connected scenes ( Read more... )

I've suddenly remembered the time I found the final volume of Revolutionary Girl Utena at a local fair's second-hand book stall. I was openly very excited, because I'd been struggling to find a copy.

The middle-aged man running the book stall obviously had no idea what manga was. '...It's a strange book, isn't it?' he asked, hesitantly.

I received a request for a Pokémon manip post, and, hey, who am I to refuse? (I can't guarantee that I'll run off and make a Pokémon-related manip every time someone asks me to, but it's certainly not something that generally requires much prodding. I am weak-willed and very fond of Pokémon indeed.)

Well, my 'Torchwood: Miracle Day will contain an average of one explosion per episode' prediction was clearly a bit on the conservative side. How many explosions were there in the first episode, again? Three?

I'm quite gripped by the concept of Miracle Day, though! I'm interested in seeing where it goes. At the moment it seems to be at 'good ( Read more... )

Goodness, it's been more than half a year since I last made a silly photomanip post. That won't do at all.

Dear whoever just anonymously bought me paid time: who are you? You are the best, that's who you are. Thank you so much! ♥!

I'd like to do something in return, but obviously as I don't know who you are I don't know what you'd like. What I've decided to do, therefore, is make a new Entry of Interesting Things ( here is the one from last year, ( Read more... )

FOR GOODNESS' SAKE, RIONA.

A couple of nights ago, I dreamt that I was being strangled by a Furby. They don't even have arms!

Anyway, I have been musing on the wonders of the Internet. One of the things I like most about the Internet is the way you can learn all sorts of pointless trivia as you leap about from page to page.

Therefore, here is a pointless trivia entry! Tell ( Read more... )

EVERY TIMEand this particular realisation meant I had to send an e-mail full of desperate questions to my supervisor, and that makes me feel awful for imposing ( Read more... )
