Still Not Dead

[kowaiyoukai]

HI again people! I'm at jelost's house again for the week, this time with siriuslyyellow in tow. Here's what I've been doing that you probably don't care about:

- playing Arkham Asylum. HOLLA BACK!! This game is FUCKING PHENOMENAL!! I am loving it. I'm 43% done with it so far, so I'm looking forward to finishing it. Plus, now I can access the section where you can play as the Joker since I'm at the internet now. \o/ I am kicking ass and taking names with solving the Riddler's challenges. XD

- finished watching Oz and I fucking loved it!! Keller/Beecher FTW!! NO SRSLY THO. Where are the fanvids when you need them? ALso finished Band of Brothers (have I said that already?) and loved it!! Winters/Nixon FTW!! Yes I ship them even though it's based on real people and no I don't feel bad about it at all. XP

- currently watching: Animorphs (shipping Tobias/Rachel & Jake/Marco--that last one by accident--they are WAY more slashable in the TV show than they were in the books) & Psych (I am confused about my ship at this point. Probably Shawn/Lassiter even though I'm not convinced yet) & Farscape (John/Aeryn (sp?) totally rocks!). But soon I will be watching SGA and life will be a happy place for me.

- read Hush. Um, WTF it was so not as good as I thought it would be. Batman needs to stop chasing after Catwoman and accept that he and the Joker are in love already. FOR PETE'S SAKE.

- my cell phone is no longer alive due to lack of money. DX No tweets or contact with the outside world for me. *headdesk* Am possibly getting a job to correct the situation, but that would mean less time for writing, which would SUCK. *le sigh*

Things you might care about:

- Apogee 10b is coming along. I re-wrote it b/c of a few comments that had me thinking about something else I should do, but I'm hoping it'll be done soon.

- Apogee BB is totally stalled b/c of 10b, which means either I'll finish it in a rush of staying up all night four nights in a row or I won't finish it at all and put it out later myself.

- working on my first ever fanmix for a fandom I'm in but not currently ficcing for, and it's almost done! \o/

Um, I think that's it? I'll reply to the comments I've gotten these past two weeks later. Right now, I think I'm off to write. Or sleep. Not sure yet. We'll see what happens when I get to the air mattress and have to make the decision to fall upon it or walk by to my computer, which I brought with me for writing purposes.

Just wanted to update now to say I'm alive and working on shit and there's no need for panic. :P

ILU ALL LIEK WHOA!! ♥ ♥ ♥

Lol, I don't like romance all that much, honestly. I like gay romance, but I don't like when the story falls to the romance and loses its plot. However, I love character interaction. I have a YA novel with a male main character and a side character whom he's really close to. And like I said, when my stories don't have romance, they're heavily slashy in different directions. I consider those to to be a canon couple, but they don't actually do anything that we can see in the story. In fact, they may not even fully realize what's going on between them. But personally, I like that stuff. Most of the time I prefer it to something being shoved in my face. (Though I like it more when eventually they do get together, but for the sake of this story, I can't see any actual relationships between any people fitting in. You can tell they love one another, though, either brotherly or more than that.)

Oh but thanks! I hope it does turn out to be a good story. ^^;;; It's been very hard to write, though, because I have it ALL plotted out yet I don't really feel much for the main character. He needs some sort of quirk to keep me focused on him. Everyone else is more interesting. >< I do that all the time with main characters. Ugh.

Yeah, a mix of romance is good. ^^ When I was younger and first getting into yaoi, I would ONLY read things with gay relationships in them. Like it had to have gay sex, or gay love, or I wouldn't even touch it. Het, especially, just pissed me off. Lol. I got over that as I got older, of course. So yay, it's good that you do that. ^^ I true to do it, too, though not necessarily all in the same story.

I guess my feeling on "subtext" is that sometimes that's what it is, and sometimes it's just up to interpretation. Like the movie 9 which I just saw... Film adaptation of the short movie. The character relationships are so endearing, and while I'm not going to slash together two genitalia-lacking dolls made out of burlap sacks, the way they touch and treat one another was very moving to me. So yeah, to each their own, I suppose. XD

And yes, you are so right. The internet is one of the biggest things that gets in the way of writing. I swear. Gonna try to get more writing done today. Good luck to you on that front!
