The usual cumulative post about my writing & other random things.

First of all, while I haven't finished the full revision, I'm starting posting my Annie Leonhart-centric fanfic this week. The first chapter is ready, I polished what I could polish, the beta-reading happened... I need to let go of it.

I even posted a snipped from it. (Contains spoilers for the ending of Attack on Titan, I guess.)

Now I'm feeling all so giddy about it, because overall I'm really excited about this story--and I'm excited because it contains things that extremely fun to me; I think about it and I smile to myself, and even chuckle, and everything. Having being able to finish writing the story, even in its half-revised state: this is such a great accomplishment.

As usual, this is the most important thing to remember.

( Ranting and some spoilers )

Speaking of other things, now.

Media

• I'm so very excited for the last episode of Attack on Titan airing on November 4th. If you never started watching it because it wasn't finished, at least now I can say: heh, you have about 2 months to catch up with it--88 episodes? Do it. It's going to be fun.

• Wary but still curious about the new AoT project that will be announced on October 4th. Although... it may just be a re-edition, a silly mobile game, or a spin-off nobody will care about, so... no expectations.

• I've fallen behind with Link Click, My Happy Marriage and Undead Murder Farce lately, mainly because I was traveling. I'm glad I have a lot to catch up with.

• I dreamt the episodes leading to the ending of Monster by Naoki Urusawa... when I haven't watched them yet. Yes, I invented it. It looks like I need to go back to it as well.

• Oh, Dead souls by Gogol was really the perfect (audio)read for this summer. Familiar, yet refreshing, and so, so funny.

Other things

After many years mostly traveling only to go to games, and spending the summer holidays resting at home, I finally made a long-distance and a long-awaited long trip this year, and in a context I never considered feasible for me (group tour with people I never met before).

A few takeaways:

Crafts

( Read more... )

Finally, Games

I can't say I'm unhappy at the moment. I guess this is good, heh?

I hope you're having a good time as well.

Thanks for reading, and to the next one.

Yes yes yes, I'm here (again).

( Reflective, albeit more hopeful stuff regarding my most recent rant about fandom )

On the other hand, while I haven't had the time to experience a lot of media in the past few days (travelling), some random comments about stories and more things:

• The Phantom of the Opera (ALW musical) still remains nonsensical in a very funny and enjoyable way. Enjoyable expecially for the fact that it's all good singing. Then, wtf-productions appears out of nowhere, and we appreciate them. We can only appreciate.
• I went to a theatre museum and the most majestic thing I saw was a travelling wardrobe, which included hangers, drawers and all, used by (probably?) a theatre actress. The world is a place full of wonders.
• The first two episodes of My Happy Marriage (anime on Netflix) were good and I'm on board. I only need the will not to look for the light novel/manga in the meantime.
• First episode of Undead Murder Farce: I'm intrigued but not as much as I would like to. Too early to say, though.
• I still hope for some progression in Spy x Family (manga). Mind, I just enjoy it and that's enough, but... a little progression? Please?
• I bought another book by William T. Vollman, An Afghanistan Picture Show. I hope it's a good one, although maybe I would fare better with another of his Seven Dreams.
• I'm trying to listen to new music. The Rika playlist facethestrange once shared is very useful and very in line with what I want. Thank you!
• I started working on a collaborative writing project, something something vampires (not the name, but I must stay quiet for now I think). Vampires!

But most of all, as a palate cleanser before going into the revision of my longfic, I joined the julybreakbingo. Be it writing or embroidery I hope I can create something fun and different.

Like a travelling wardrobe.
