... Er. Sorry. I'm just a little touchy about stuff like this. I'm not anti-American per se, but I spent most of my life with everyone around me acting as though everything Canadian was inferior to American (literature/music/culture/everything) so I'm just a little bitter and angry.
But on a more positive note. YES. ADORABLE FOREIGN FANS. I don't know what it is, but so many of the ones I've run in to on my internet wanderings just seem so nice. And cute. And willing to talk to me about where they live. And stuff. And... I'm going to stop now before I get too hand-flappy.
I dunno about cosplay - I mean, I'd love to do it, but practically speaking, I'm not sure I could! When it comes to sewing, I'm only good at hand-sewing (though I'm sure I could do machine with practice) and I don't own a machine, so... I dunno. I'd probably want to go as Poland or maybe Lithuania, but considering how awkward I am, Sweden might be a better choice. ;p Ah, but it'll be quite a while before I'm even able to go to a con, so I should probably not linger on it too much. I'll just get sulky and envious of everyone who does get to go.
Anyway, back to LJ. And tags. You know, there probably is a place for suggestions, though I can't recall at the moment. I think I might go looking later on and see if I can find it. 'cause having a multi-browsing system would be excellent. Would probably take thm a long time to put it in, but it would be so worth it.
Back to fic again. This:
Reading a story someone else wrote is a different experience than writing something you yourself wrote.
That's precisely my feeling on the matter. I mean, yes, I do like writing the things I have ideas for, and I even like re-reading my own writing (when it is good). But reading things other people have written is so much more fun. Other people will always interpret the same characters in a slightly different way, so it's nice to see a different take on it. Sometimes they come up with things I never would imagine. And sometimes the writing is better. And you know, it's just... It's nice to read something new, something that hasn't been stewing in my own head. And it's just... ARGH. I WANT TO READ SOMETHING. GODDAMNIT. *FLAIL* ffffff
I do hope that the Baltics will get a bit more popularity as a result of episode 29, but at the same time, I'm a little uncertain. Call me a pessimist, but most Balticfic is rather raperific, and I don't see that changing. However, I am holding out hope for some genfic to pop up, especially since the Baltic Way anniversary is right around the corner.
LATVIAAAAAAAAA oh, lawd. Yeah, I guess I should just get around to doing that, at least once. SIGH. I probably won't change much in the way I play. I mean, people say do this or do that, but ehhhhh. Half of it I can't be bothered. But I'm considering ways to adjust things slightly.
Anyway. Yes! He SPARKLES. At one point, someone suggested that I write an Estonia/Belgium Twilight crossover (Eduard and Bella, get it? fff) but, er, that wasn't something I was quite willing to roll with. Still, I must admit that an Estonia VS Edward sparkly faceoff sounds bloody hilarious.
I think... I think I should wrap this up. And go to bed. And I'm sorry my response was slow this time. Visitor and all. Yes.
Re: Your comment of 15526 characters exceeds the maximum character length of 4300.
