stuff about stuff
20 Aug 2013 12:34* I think I'm prepared to call the cross-posting a success and commit to it. I've only had one mixup that got cleared up quickly and I've certainly been posting enough. So, if you are interested in the LJ-flist trimming, feel free to go ahead. Actually, you never need my blessings for that, but you know what I mean.
Also, if I am supposed to be following you at DW, let me know. My LJ flist is tiny because of permissions and my privacy twitchiness, but DW is far more flexible with that, so if you're interesting and you know it, clap your hands. :)
* Thaw is done and I'm at a bit of loose ends. I still want to write, but now there is nothing to write. I can't really ask for timestamps or missing scenes or POV shifts or questions or whatnots like I used to do in SGA because the bulk of the reading audience is on AO3, which isn't geared for that.
Not unrelated, I went back and made some tweaks to the story, since there are downsides to writing it as a posted WIP. Most of the corrections are stylistic and/or simple booboo fixes, but I did make one substantive change, which was go to back and make Clint's... sense of deja vu about the brain co-opting a little less understated, since I think I underplayed it too much before the last chapter. Anyway, the changes came out to less than a hundred words, but I think it's a subtle improvement.
* Watched The Losers the other week because Netflix won't give me what I really wanted -- what's up with the new releases and big releases suddenly being "very long wait"? -- and I really wish they'd done a better job there. I think I only ever read the first TPB of the comics, although I wonder why that was because the premise is totally up my alley, and I'm all for most of the changes they made with respect to the characters (especially everything to do with Roque, although turning him into a three-dimensional character without also updating his heel turn motivation made it worse), but the material itself didn't translate very well from one medium to the next. I've read some fic -- holy carp and other fish, there's a lot of it! -- and I've found a few good ones. I'll take recs there, though, because there is so much of it and I just dipped toes. And yes, I read the slash.
* The baseball team is in its working-for-next-season phase, which is why Travis d'Arnaud is now the starting catcher despite being oh-fer-MLB, and I am giddy that hockey players are now skating in organized groups large enough to merit reports from bored beat writers.
* RIP Elmore Leonard and thanks for all the fish.
