So a few relevant things have happened over the last few months, but the one thing I'd like to bring up first is that IyHedonism, the first fiction contest community I ever modded on LJ came to a close yesterday.
Two years, 100 prompts, massive amounts of fics and participation, and man, I've gotta say that though I stepped down as co-mod a while back, it was really sad to see it come to an end. Leaving Inuyasha fandom was the closing of a chapter. This is like the ending of a novel. Even when I left it, I just kind of assumed that it would always be there. It still is, as an archive, but seeing it go affected me way sadder than I thought it would, honestly.
Ah, well. Que sera sera. All good things must come to an end.
Second thing: The game that we were running on Proboards also came to a close, but that is hardly saddening, as we all still pretty much play together and it -is- extremely hard to keep a canon-cast game running. I've learned this.
But! On to happier things~
A little while back, I picked up Mello over at Kannagara, a panfandom game on LJ and I have to say that after going through a few games and trying to find my place, I think I finally have. The writers there are nothing short of breathtaking, the setting is sublime, the mods are possibly the best I've ever seen, and I am having a fucking blast.
Their standard of writing is -insane-. Like, I've never seen so many good writers from so many fandoms grouped together in the same place. Their Naruto cast has pretty much made me want to pick up the anime. I hated Naruto. This is how amazing they are. Annnd I snagged my B player to come over with me, so this makes it a million times more fun. It's great to keep friends with you when you try out new things.
On the fic front, when I do have some time (haha, yeah right), I intend on starting a MxM chapter fic that I refuse to post until every chapter is written and edited. I just hate leaving readers hanging when I get bored with a story, so I figure that if I never finish it, no harm, no foul. Good deal.
And that's all for now. :)
