Fandom-ish but sort of. . . in an indirect way.

Fic writing update, since that's what's on my mind these days: not going that well. I had a hard time plotting it out and then I thought I finally had it and I've started writing and now I'm like "maybe I escalated too much" - in kinkiness, compared to part 1, since this is a sequel. It's something I've seen in a fair amount of erotic fiction, but I don't think I've seen it in fanfic and it might just be too much for the audience. So now I'm thinking of doing two versions, but I still don't have a good "plot" (aka sex act) without the kinky parts. Plus I feel like I really lucked out with part 1, it just works really well and is hot, even for me, without being too kinky. I guess I need to internalize the dynamic I had going there and see what comes to me and not rush things. Grrrr. I wanted to get it done before everyone had forgotten about the first part but without my commute for me to be bored and horny on, it's hard to get things done. I also wanted to finish it before my hormone cycle affects my ability to write things because I can't tell what's sexy if I'm not getting turned on by anything. Oh well. It's interesting. I'm still really amused by the thought of me writing fanfic. And it's such ridiculous fanfic, too. Good times!

edit: I may have something. lol. I don't know. It's really hard not to repeat myself but keep the same dynamic and same sort of level. I'll have to try and think about what I've wanted after reading a really hot fic and wanting more.

Apart from that, Katie is actually starting to get into Arashi! Unfortunately, she's leaving for school on Sunday. >.< But at least now I can talk to her about them! Yaaaay! I thought when she said she didn't like subtitles she was just making up an excuse but she actually has been having trouble. Cos, I thought when she said she was a slow reader, it was just cos I skim things too much and she was comparing us, but actually she's been having a hard time keeping up when there's a lot of talking going on. Understandable. I've been trying to find videos that don't move too fast.

Also! She and mom are getting into Hana Yori Dango! So, basically Katie is Jun-bait. ::sigh:: My own sister! XD It's ok. Actually, the first episode they hated - they were really upset by the bullying and they thought Domyouji was gross - I despised him, too. But I told them everything really turns around and to please give it another try and they've been won over. And of course, Domyouji is so loveably inept (that was a Monkey Island reference) that they've fallen for him.

We also finished season 6 of Buffy. ::sniffles:: Actually, we have one episode left, from the middle, and then flatulentturtle can retrieve it! Thank you so much for lending it to us. We're already like "I can't wait til winter break, when we can steal season 7! ::rubbing palms together::" . . . if that's OK with you, of course ;)

In other news, I'm getting nervous about going back to Smith. What if people have changed? Or just the dynamics - the friendships, the way people get along with each other. What will Lawrence house be like? ::bites nails:: And Corey isn't going to be at meals. . . I'm just nervous that more things will be different than I'm prepared to deal with. :-/ Oh well. My classes seem awesome. Also, I think I'm going to try to enter the religion essay contest thing again this year. Although I don't know when the date is for that. But I wrote a paper on religion in Heigl, Feuerbach and Marx that the professor (in Manchester) really liked, so I was thinking of submitting that. I don't know if I should submit it somewhere to get edited or not, though.

edit: I just talked to shadowflute (this is totally unrelated to my other edit, by the way XD) and I feel a bit better. Anyway, I'm going to do my best - as I told her, this is the Hina influence - I'm trying to be positive! :D But also, I think I got a lot out of going abroad and will be better able to handle whatever now, if I try.

I really need to get started packing. :( Everything is really messy. And I'm getting sad about Katie leaving. And I want to go into the city sometime after she's gone, but I have to go to Rockefeller Square and Union Square. XD So incovnenient. (One is at 50th St., the other at 14th St.) I guess I'll go on a day when Charles will be downtown, see if he wants to meet for lunch, then catch a Lexington Ave or Broadway train to Union Square, then take the 6 up to 51st St. and walk over to 5th Ave and then. . . just walk back to Penn, I guess. Ugh, it's annoying to go by myself. I'm annoyed with myself for not doing these errands when I was still in the city every day. Or at least before Katie left.
