Three months late, I start thinking "maybe one of my new year resolutions should be to post more often! because I have paid space/icons" -- but I've done this before and that never panned out, but I can't actually TALK right now, so. In writing it goes!
The problem with following anything that has a developing canon is that it is so easy to suddenly find 500+ half-formed ideas going BOOM in a dramatic flash of gunpowder plot.
(Now that I think about it, though, I think pretty much with the exception of my earliest baby fandoms, all of the stuff I've followed enough to want to fic were things I followed as-happening. God knows I hung on to the bitter end of the FMA anime, and even though I'm still collecting the manga as it comes out, I've been thoroughly distracted.)
In some fandoms, this was not so bad -- GetBackers, for example! I am undergoing a revolution, I miss my old dorklove now that it's gone. ._. For some reason not knowing who the fourth King of the Volts was never bothered me (beyond a "C'MON TELL ALREADY" sort of way). ... Then again, I always theorized it was an already-established character, and it turned out to be someone entirely new. XD; Or hell, the way no one stays dead -- except maybe Saizou, but I forget if Ginji fixed that too.
Or in tactics, where the whole thing's a little more tricky -- they've been doling out little hints here and there about Haruka's past, and recently there was that whole wtf-curveball about Kantarou's mother (was it a nightmare or a memory? WE DO NOT KNOW), or even the implication that Raikou's name was originally something different. (And given how big a deal names are in that series, what the hell does this mean.)
But it's still not so bad -- maybe because mostly, I was in both fandoms for a while before the left-fielders started showing up. It's one thing if you're comfortable with the developing canon and THEN the WTFs start happening (though I am persistantly stubborn -- it takes me a lot to start something, but when I do, by-god I will follow it through; the only series in recent memory I've dropped is Higurashi, but that's because it keeps blue-screening my computer).
It's another when you sort of drop into things just as the bombshells start falling. (Which is also to say, OH MY GOD GOOD-BYE MY IDEAS. Is Tsubasa a weekly serial? I know it runs in Shounen Magazine, but I only bought that for GetBackers, which I'm pretty sure was monthly. But, uh. Aiee.)
...
In other news, I have reached the disgusting/painful stage of illness recovery where swallowing is sort of like dull knives in my throat and I keep wanting to work on ridiculously pretentious all-over-the-place Okami fic (file title: the courtship of amaterasu and ushiwaka) rather than pretty much ANY of my challenges. :(
SEND HELP PLZ.
P.S. I love BPAL's grapefruit note, but it makes me sad that it never lasts when I wear it. D: The currants and musk are really nice, but ... grapefruit. D:
P.P.S. I have homemade lime bars and you don't! Nyah~♥
Seriously, though,![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
