So Skyrim has pretty much eaten my brain completely: I should have known, for in the dark days of Oblivion I must have played that game more or less exclusively for about half a year, but there it is. This game is like sweet, sweet crack to me and I can't see myself playing anything else until Mass Effect 3 comes out (I did buy and play Assassin's Creed: Revelations but while it was a fun game I only really enjoyed the bits where you got to play as Altair and the multiplayer. I'm really ready for the franchise to take a new direction).
Not unrelatedly, I have been spending an inordinate amount of time
writing Skyrim fanfic on my tumblr, which is mainly about my PC Skuld and her misadventures with Erik the Slayer, but also includes
a fic about Forsworn/Nord relations in a sort of Romeo and Juliet way, if that's your thing. I'm having a ball writing it, though!
I haven't completely neglected Dragon Age- I'm considering getting Asunder and wrote
a short drabble for All That Remains that has been sitting in my head for ages.
In the real world, I'm ploughing through A Dance with Dragons, aka Massive Huge Brick: The Book and searching for employment, which is a long and tortuous process that makes me want to tear my hair out. Now I think of it, maybe my Skyrim obessision is quite easy to explain :/
