Just want to wish everyone a happy holiday season. It's snowing where I live, and we are getting a white Christmas this year.

I had a bit of time these past few days, so I read Heaven Official's Blessing (Tian Guan Ci Fu ( Read more... )

Did some potterfests stuff here and there. The next HP fest news round-up is ready to go.

Caught up with all of Natsume Yuujinchou the anime, including the OADs and movies. Matoba Seiji is one of the more interesting characters in the series precisely because we don't know what he's thinking, unlike Natori. Natori is pretty straightforward by comparison, and ( Read more... )

Finished writing this up a lot earlier than usual, so I figure I might as well post this now ( Read more... )

Buck-Tick has released their latest album, SUBROSA. 17 tracks in total, three of which are instrumental only. It's Buck-Tick, but it's also a new Buck-Tick after Sakurai Atsushi's passing. The two guitarists and composers, Imai Hisashi and Hoshino Hidehiko, are now the lead vocalists for the songs they composed respectively. Hoshino-san's singing ( Read more... )

It's the first of December, and I have nothing prepared. I got a few ideas on what to do with 25 Days of Draco and Harry, but I haven't really written anything that I could post yet. Also been busy with potterfests stuff this morning.

If you are interested in participating in winter holiday/December prompt challenges and gifting fests, I've made a post on potterfests ( Read more... )

Hi, how is everyone doing? All things considered, I'm doing all right. Been slacking off in the writing department.

Rewatching Natsume Yuujinchou. It's hard to believe that it's been 16 years since season 1 aired. It's a somewhat wistful story about youkai and humans, meeting and parting. It's not a series I would binge watch, but it's kind of ( Read more... )

Making a note of stuff that could serve as inspirations.

spook_me happened back in October. They posted a 2024 inspiration post a while back; I haven't had time to take a look yet (link).

Been listening to a few more stories off Classic Ghost Stories Podcast on Youtube. I appreciate how, after the narrator Tony Walker finished reading each story, he ( Read more... )

Preparing for December. I'd written some bits and pieces for slythindor100 25 Days of Draco and Harry; I don't have a story yet. Maybe I'll finish some of the WIPs I'd left dangling for years...

Reveals had happened for two of the HP fests I took part in. Will post the fics on my journal later.

On the multi-fandom prompt challenge front, newyearcntdown is open for sign-up ( Read more... )

Daytime is getting shorter and nighttime longer. I'm listening to Classic Ghost Stories Podcast on Youtube to get into the Gothic spirit. There's something I need to finish, and I'm bouncing around ideas for this year's slythindor100 25 Days of Draco and Harry. Maybe a Christmas ghost story or something like that? I'm not a fast writer; I probably won't manage ( Read more... )

Happy Hallowe'en to anyone who celebrates it! (I do, well, sort of.)

hp_halloween has just revealed its 2024 AO3 Collection. Each double drabble is exactly 200 words in length. If you would like to snack on some bite-sized Hallowe'en treats, do go have a look.

And just for fun, Poetry Foundation has compiled a list of Halloween poems. I didn't know John ( Read more... )
