Oh fate, how you mock me so! /drama

Urraghhh, bigbangnitro , where were you two years ago when I totally would have been on you like white on rice??

I mean, it doesn't even really make sense that I'm all "bawww" about this, because I'm close to finishing the vampire AU, and I was intending to include a fanmix and Xpyne's fanart anyway...so it's not like I'm really missing out, other than, you

I'm nostalgic for those days as well. Couldn't you, like, lock yourself in a room for three days with some manga and fanfic and sort of re-grow the passion? I'm tired of things changing. One sees a lot of change in 40 years (especially in fandoms). Change Is Bad. I stand by that.

lolol, this sounds awesome, and if I wasn't in the middle of trying to find a job and a place to live for an impending move all the way across the country, this summer would probably be the perfect time to stage a revival.

It's like...I still love the series and the fandom on an intellectual level, but my creative impetus for Saiyuki fanworks feels...distinctly lacking, boo. But, as I hinted to Whym above, I think moving will be good for me, I've felt so creatively stifled while living at my mom's house again temporarily. :T

♥ to you, too and the sad situation with jedishampoo. I'm just working on moving IN with my best friends, and I don't know what I'll do when it comes time for us to part ways again. ::huuuug::

Super good luck to you with the move - It will be a real adventure and really different! I've found that different parts of the U.S. are almost like different countries; the culture shock of moving from Tucson to Virginia was worse than that of moving from Virginia to England, for example. I've never lived in New York though - it sounds utterly exciting and awesome.
♥ I know... Still very, very meepy but once I've moved into my own (incredibly tiny) place I probably won't be as assaulted by her obvious absence as often. I keep telling myself it happened for a reason and that we were too comfy and keeping each other from doing things or socializing with others, but the impulse to go meet others is still not hitting me real hard. Love your friends while you are with them... I've lost touch with more than I can count!

LOL @ your icon!!

I am just all squeey over you getting close to finishing the vampire AU, I cannot wait ;) (Although not squeey about it being the final fic *pouts*)

♥

[soliandxpyne]

Ahhaha, it seemed perfectly fitting at the time. :D

Argh, so close, yes...I think you'll definitely enjoy it. I worked out some of the kinks that were bugging me in it, was able to fix the rushed pacing from about halfway on (loldeadlinefail), and I've expanded with more backstory and characters, so the universe I sketched out in the first version is much fuller, I think. And, well, only time will tell if this will really be my last Saiyuki fic...

[caeseria]

I was going to try to make a coherent return comment, but I can't stop looking at your icon LOL It's worse than alien mind control ;) ♥

Suffice it to say, I shall wait patiently for the fic and enjoy rereading it with the changes!

[despina_moon]

I'm totally with you. Fandom is a harsh mistress and right now, I do feel myself drifting away from it. There are other things calling to us and the community has sort of come unraveled.

I feel sad about that, but that it is how it goes.

I still luff you both and hope you will come to Yaoi con just to visit us.

♥ ♥ ♥

[soliandxpyne]

Arrgh, curse you, real life. lol

♥ to you, too! (Ah, but we'll have to see if Xpyne's willing to do the trip up to San Fran by herself, as I'm moving to New York at the end of summer, so flying all the way to SF in October will be out of the question. :[)

[despina_moon]

Whaaaaat?!! Wow, I missed way more than I thought. New York, eh, what fun!

What will you be doing, you sly thing?

[soliandxpyne]

I HAVE NO IDEA, AHHHHH!!! D: Oh, you know, whatever I've got to do...hopefully I'll be able to get a job at one of the many museums, even if it's only in the gift shop or something. :P

But I need to get my shit together to apply to grad school, and I want to be able to say I've DONE something with my life since undergraduate, you know? One friend has to move their for an internship as part of her graduate program in fashion photography, and I'm not doing anything with my life right now in California, can't stand my job anymore, can't stand living with my mom, and I'll be going with my two best friends, so we figure why the hell not, might as well have our mistakes adventures while we're still young and can!
