Oh, and no, I never got around to posting the photos. I'm still editing them, actually. Derp. I'm so horrible about that. Really need to get that done... That as well as a graffiti photodump of the stuff I took pictures of a few weeks ago. Sigh, I'm so lazy.
Fic again - yeah, it's strange. I mean, there's a lot, but there's not a lot that interests me. Sooo I guess, to me, it seems like nothing, when really there is something, just not what I'm looking for (doesn't help that my interests are so narrow, but I guess that's my own fault). Argh, if only I liked US/UK. :| This would all be easier.
As for the kink meme, I don't check it much either nowadays. Though I really should be updating the Baltic index soon... anyway. Posting used to be very simple. There would be the part (which moved slowly in those days). Someone would request such-and-such. I'd see it, write it, then post directly in reply to the request, no problem. Then there would be a masterlist on the first page of the part, and you'd reply to that with the pairing + scenario in subject and link to the fill in the reply. Very simple. Now it's like, askdfh. You have to find the request, and keep track of where it is (because it moves so quickly). Then post it in the fill-post with link to the request. Then post a link to that in the fill-report post. It all seems very convoluted to me. Also, with the previous system, if one had a paid account then they could comment-track the replies to their request, and that way easily tell when/if it is filled without constantly checking. Or they could just check the fill-report thread on the first page of the part, and since it was subjects, just a glance would work. But with the new system it requires checking a separate post, and of course comment tracking for your request does no good any more, and I just don't like it. (Bah, ranting again).
Saaaay, the most recent Swe/Fin ones are good, eh? Thanks for the mention, I'll have to check them out. I love that stuff when it's well written. Problem is that a lot of it.... isn't. And man, I love it when people deanon. 'cause then I'm like, "OMG, that was you?!" I've made some excellent friends that way. Well, mostly Tikula, but anyway...
OH SO YOU GOT AROUND TO READING IT. AND YOU LIKED IT. THIS MAKES ME VERY HAPPY why am I capslocking fffff it is too late in the evening for me to be replying, I'm sorry. What I really mean is, I'm so happy that you liked it. I honestly was not expecting it to have such a good reception; man... all those comments, such a pleasant surprise.
And -- Paranoid to comment to me? Why? ... Er, well, you don't have to answer that if you don't want to... But anyway, you can always comment anonymously on anything that you want, if you feel that way. Anonymous commenting is enabled on all of my entries, always. It's actually always been that way; never really felt the need to require people to be logged in (and I'm pretty sure for a while I had some friends who didn't have LJ, which might also be why I kept it on. But that's neither here nor there.)
Anyway. All those terms like yandere and tsundere and so on, argh, I don't understand them at all. I guess part of it is because I've been out of fandom for so long, maybe. Argh, stuff like this makes me feel so old and out of the loop! But also I guess some of them are just untranslatable and you either get it or you don't. But I really don't like it that characters are reduced to those terms, when there is so much more to them than that. I love England, but the focus on the tsundere nonsense drives me up the wall and now I can hardly ever read England fic any more. Argh, it's enough to make me want to throw up my hands and just write some England/Canada to get all this anger out of my system. Something like what I did with "The Sun Rising" or, argh, I DON'T KNOW. *facedesk* Trying to be an example again. I don't even know if any of that ever actually works out, but I still try, because I know that people have considered pairings they wouldn't consider before, because of my stuff, so why not ways to portray characters -- Oh, I don't know, it's late and I'm babbling. I'm sorry. On to something different.
Re: Your comment of 25062 characters exceeds the maximum character length of 4300.
