Stanley Hall on the Feast of the Transfiguration

Real life = very busy. If I were capable of shorter posts, I would have done a better job of updating, but unfortunately, I haven't found the time.

For the few of you in Hikaru no Go fandom who don't follow the blind_go community, silvermuse89 and I stepped down as moderators yesterday. chaineddove, doumeki and trixie_chick have kindly agreed to take over running the challenge, and judging by how enthusiastically they were brainstorming ideas for future rounds, I expect they'll do a wonderful job. Anyway, it probably comes as no surprise to anyone, given how infrequently I update these days.

This round of fifthmus fics have been generally quite good. My submission, Portraiture, was written for qem_chibati. ( Some comments )

More importantly, ontogenesis wrote The Journey for one of my fifthmus requests: Touya Kouyou journeys to a remote city in Yunnan and plays go there. Am completely thrilled that ontogenesis got assigned my requests, and even more thrilled by the fic she wrote. Go read it now! ^_^

Started watching Kure-nai on arboretum's recommendation. Murasaki is adorable and bossy! Episode 5 was a little bizarre though (the cast decides to put on a musical).

Finished Library War. Not sure what to think of it; the series turned out to be frothier than I expected. I did like the relationship between Doujou and Kasahara but the hospital scene was a little trite. >_> I would like to read fanfiction for the series though.

Yours &c.

Post-script: lacewood, I got your email; sorry for my lack of response and perpetual tardiness. I'll get my chapter to you soon! >_
