Back to fic. I guess you're right that there isn't that much fic being written. I mean, okay. I don't know much about modern fandom, so I can't judge. But for example when I look at say the hetalia_daily updates for the main comm, there isn't really a lot of fic listed compared to the fanart. And there's rarely something relevant to my interests. It's kind of discouraging. I guess the only thing I can do is keep writing stuff that I like and hope other people will get the same idea.
The kink meme... don't even get me started on the kink meme. I posted something there the other day, and I swear, I spent half an hour just figuring out how to do it. The system seems so much more complicated now than it used to be. I mean, back when I posted there regularly, it was very simple, and no big deal. But then again... that was back in part two and three. Sigh. It seems like so long ago. Now the place is such a mess, and it seems like the mods might have jumped ship, and kasjdf. I don't even know now. And a lot of the fic that gets put out there is such crap nowadays, argh! ... Er. Sorry about that. Just had to get it out, I guess.
Heh. When you sent this, it was before the 23rd... and now it's come and gone, and no Balticfic for me. Sigh. Such a disappointment. On the other hand, there hasn't been a rise in Balticcest nor in rapefic, so at least I can be thankful for that. Agreed on the amount of rape being depressing (and for me, disturbing). As for yandere!Latvia, there is a lot that is going around - maybe not more than usual, but maybe more visible now. To be honest, I don't really see it. Even going by what we see in canon, I don't see him as being... yandere. Then again I'm not entirely sure what that is (bloody newfangled terms) though I get the general idea.
I SAW THE INVASION. AND I CONSIDERED PARTICIPATING. But I didn't feel lik playing, sooooo I didn't. Ffff. I'm a huge stick in the mud, I know. Aaaand now the vampires are gone. Mostly. However, I know one of the Edward RPers, so maybe some day if I feel particularly ridiculous I shall rope them in to having a sparkle-off with me. Just for you. ;p I've been playing a little more in general, or trying to. I'm so flighty with when I feel about doing things, bahhhh. But it's nice to be able to do it, especially when my usual partners get involved, because I know it makes them happy. (And vice versa... a good long thread just makes me feel, omg, so good.)
Anyway. That's it for now. <3 Hope to hear from you soon.
