Ad Mundo Exteriore,
Am fully out of my brief little spurt of depression and so happy that I feel like I'm bipolar or something. What I needed apparently was to get away from all the people at school--no offense, mes amies--and enjoy some blessed isolation, or rather, the company of my parents, my Scientific American magazines, The Count of Monte Cristo, and my computer. I really must have more of the misanthrope in me than I thought. I'm myself again, once I'm finally alone.
I find it amusing that there are at least ten GW fanfics in the list of fifty random old fanfics relisted in the Classics section on FF.net. Was slightly disappointed not to see mine among them, though the fanfics aren't old by any standard. I posted them up during the summer after all. I haven't really bothered advertising my fics, so I shouldn't expect anything, but I do wish there was at least one review on Returning. Maybe then I'll be motivated to write the rest of it. As it is, I'm considering abandoning it for lack of inspiration. So hypocritical, since I always beg my favorite authors to finish their stories. But see, the difference is, I don't have a group of fans, not even a small one, that want to read the rest of my fic. So I can't get blackmailed.
Which reminds me, I really want to do some type of crossover between an anime and The Count of Monte Cristo, book not movie version, but I can't decide on a suitable anime. I can't figure out characters for GW, and I don't like writing WK fanfiction. CCS will never work in a billion years, and I think that I'll never be able to write for .hack, being too caught up in the canon universe. X/1999...hah. And it'll be awful as a crossover with HP, though the characters may conceivably work out better. Maybe I should post a challenge somewhere and make someone else write it instead. ^_^
I wanted to copy out some of my profound musings from yesterday just before midnight, but my brain is spinning from linear spaces and bases, so I'll spare you the agony of reading my conceptual shorthand. Consider yourselves lucky.
I watched The Way Home, which was very charming and quietly unconventional. The writer/director writes/directs films like a novelist writes novels. Lots of showing rather than telling, very little dialogue, extremely subtle and slow-paced, low-budget but beautifully done. Keep an eye out for whoever she is, because her movies are wonderful and subvert the medium in ways that one would never have expected. Actually, most people may find her films boring, but they play out like a thoughtfully written book, leaving a comfortable, satisfied taste in the mouth.
