 *sigh* My brief flirtation with fandom secrets has ended. In the end, I couldn't not read the bitching and the fandom elitism, and thus got irritated by it all. Seriously, this makes me so glad that I don't really participate in fandom that much. I post fics and art and comment on a few entries I like, but that's about it. I love many many different fandoms and I don't get that some people think you're not being loyal by doing that. Seriously. Some people should find their lives and stick with it. Fandom is for fun. It should not be used to start arguments and start flame wars and it should definitely not be elitist and an excuse for blatant snobbery. For example, the new Star Trek film made me really want to watch the original series, but I was then put off again due to the elitism in the fandom. Excuse me for not being alive when TOS aired.

It's as bad as the Dir en grey fanbase. 

I know it shouldn't take fandom secrets to make me realise this (I am a bad, bad person) but it makes me appreciate you guys more. <3 There's a whole depth of stupidity out there untouched by the wonderful people on my flist and I feel like my eyes have been opened somewhat. It's like, you hear about stupidity and wank, but you never know how bad it is until you realise it.

Disclaimer: Okay. So I stereotype and have mocked Twilight fans in RL. But I'm trying to change, really. I have seen the error of my ways.

 Wow. So I was looking through my old sketchbooks and found some of my drawings that I had been too lazy to scan. For some reason, I  think ink drawings look much better photographed rather than scanned in. A mix of original characters, DCU, Avatar, HP, FF7, Code Geass and Yugioh. :D Told you it had been a while...some of these fandoms I don't even remember drawing fanart for anymore.

 Uh. I think I'm regressing in terms of my fandoms. Remus Lupin, why do you have to be so appealing?

I blame this.

Seriously. Not many things can actually make me lol this much. And yes, I am using txtspeak. Because nothing sums this comic up better.

 It is so HOT. If I didn't know I was going to China again this summer, I would be complaing a lot. Every year, I complain about global warming in the summer and then decide it doesn't exist anymore because the winters are just so horrible. D: 

I got a pretty camera as well from my parents recently. :D I am definitely going to put that to good use. Expect pictures after the hols. :)

This has been sitting on my hard drive for a long time now, just because a) I wanted to make sure my characterisations were correct, and b) I've been a bit intimidated to write in the DCU. Not only is there fandom history, there's writing quality to maintain and I'm not even sure where the plot is going. This snippet is unfinished at the moment, but I think I may continue it sometime in the future. :)

Title: A matter of perspective
Fandom: DCU (Mainly Bat-verse)
Pairing: Dick/Jason/Tim and others?
Summary: When Tim is kidnapped by three blue eyed. dark-haired men and an old English butler, he makes it his priority to escape as soon as possible. AU.
AN: Um. Not sure where this is going. May have to take liberties with Tim's family history.

( When Tim wakes, he's only aware of the throbbing in his head and the fact that he's lying on a stone cold floor, hard and unforgiving... )

 :D Exam are finished now. Catch up required. 

Meh. Exams went okay. Two went horrendously and two went okay, so I just need to wait a month to see if I need to resit this year. D: On the other hand, the subsequent partying has been great. :) Freedom at last.

So. The Easter holidays are over and this is what I spent it doing.

( original fiction reccs )

You can find some more under my favourites on FP, but I would say these are the well written ones with somewhat believable characters. The other stories are just their to satisfy my other guilty pleasures. Namely: highschool fics and weeping angsty ukes...

Oh yeah. And remember this? Well. Reading all this original fiction has revived my inspiration somewhat. I'm currently writing a chaptered story based on my utterly failed webcomic. Meh. Perhaps it will help me flesh things out a bit in the drawing aspect of things.

Why can't I find any decent original slash? Fictionpress makes my eyes bleed sometimes. But after spending hours trawling through angst and more angst, I found one. Stories about abuse don't always sit well with me, but I think this one looks at the effects and processes of healing afterwards sympathetically and realistically. I stayed up the whole night reading this one.

Also. I think I may just be in love with China. And maybe Russia too.

...As for work, I'm devastatingly behind now.

;_________; Yeah. The Kuroshitsuji anime was a piece of shit. But the ending. I wanted to see more, but I can understand why they left it off at that point.

Not a fan of shota at all. In fact, didn't read Sebastian/Ciel fanfiction for that very reason.

But. For these two, I may make an exception. *sniffle*

And my day today:

9.00am: Wake up.

10.30am -11.00pm: Frantic studying in order to keep up with the insane schedule I've set for myself.
11.00pm onwards to unknown times in the morning: the internets. or trying to understand the world of hetalia.

This life cannot be healthy. D:

Easter is finally here! :) Now I can finally start revising in earnest...considering the distractions I've faced these coming weeks.

And also. If you haven't already heard of it, go to http//:www.fmylife.com. It's terrible. But I still manage to spend hours on it. I am a bad bad person.

I have spent the past week obsessing over a new love. Horatio Hornblower. If tales of the British Navy, swashbuckling adventure and captains and privateers are your thing, I highly reccomend the series. Plus, it helps that Jamie Bamber plays an adorable supporting-character type role that makes me go squishy everytime I see him. Although I actively look for slash in series, this particular one made me forget about the slash. Oddly enough, it engrossed and absorbed me so completely that I didn't even think about the slash until halfway through the series. An impressive feat. But then again, I kick myself for missing the most obvious of hints. (However, Robert Lindsay as Captain Pellew is amazing - so different from his role in "My Family".)

:) Horatio is so adorably serious all the time and Archie's wicked smiles and teasing manage to make me smile every time. I'm so horribly tempted to write for this series, but to be honest, I don't think could really do it justice. I don't like writing fanfiction for novels (especially historical ones) just for the fact that it's extremely difficult to get the...feeling for the era right. Plus. I've been reading through the fandom fics and never have I been so intimidated and awed at the writing quality.

Old fandoms. You just have to love them. Though the flipside to that is several fics have now gone missing due to broken links and inactive authors. D: Oh well.

And also. I have been a very bad friend these couple of months. Uni has managed to take over my life these days, and somehow managed to extend over the holiday period. :( Hopefully this will change with the new term.

Arghhh. I have spent £116 these past two weeks. D: Granted, last week there was a birthday party, and this week friends came over, but still. I feel bad, because I don't even have a job. But. Pretty shiny things in London...

On the other hand, christmas holidays are coming soon. :) The catching up I'm going to have to do is immense, but I'll get through it somehow.

Just dropping in. :D We have quite a lot of work to do - not long assignments, but just little meaningless tasks to do. It kinda builds up after a while. We're in week 4, and it's weird to think we've been here for a month already. Well, off to do some more reading...

That's it. I'm never going to be able to write decent fanfiction for Code Geass. Ever.

I've also never come so close to crying over an anime. ;_______; It's just a cartoon.

And also. Update to that Grimmjow/Ichigo fic I started ages ago. I'm starting to think this will be more humour than actual slash.

Fandom: Bleach
Pairing: Grimmjow/Ichigo
Summary: In which Grimmjow is not an Arrancar. He is a Shinigami captain.
