Where the wave of moonlight glosses

This has nothing to do with anything, but I think it's pretty fun. Incidentally? One of these idiots is my little brother - a friend of theirs is in India right now and misses being able to eat bagels so he asked for a video of Lou eating a bagel. He got this instead.



And in slightly more topical news, the newest issue of bb_shousetsu is now available! (My contribution is mostly ridiculous, but at least it was fun to write). I haven't made my way through the entire issue yet, but I've noticed that there's a lot fewer comments on the stories than usual - if you like anything, please take the time to let the writers know!

Late as always, but now that the reveal's happened at Yuletide, I can officially thank the lovely and talented gryvon for the fantastic story she wrote for me. Coming to Rest is a beautiful (and sexy!) fic for the oneshot manga A Sex Therapist that looks at the beginnings of Bar Kain and the relationship between Kain and Tsuzuki, the owner of the cafe upstairs (which is lovely). If you like hurt/comfort fic, falling in love and first time sex, you should read this fic!

Also! skeren sent me a lovely little Zack/Cloud picture for Christmas that I have uploaded here for your viewing pleasure. (skeren, there were some fairly deep folds in the paper and I tried to remove the worst of the creasing in Photoshop - let me know if you'd rather have a copy sans my edits and I'll send you the original instead).

Personally, I managed four fics for Yuletide this year - my assignment and three pieces for Yuletide Madness - which I'll be stagger uploading here over the next couple of days. Oh yes, and the December issue's up at bb_shousetsu and it has some really fantastic pieces in it (and mine too). Check it out if you've time!

*deep breath* Right, so I've now officially told my supervisor, the Graduate counselor and the future head of the department that I'm not going to try and get into a PhD program next year. I've been dithering about this for... months now, good god, so I'm glad I've finally made a decision. I even think it's the right decision too, though I still kinda feel like I'm wimping out. *sheepish* I'm sure I'll feel better about it soon?

And in slightly better more interesting topics, I may just possibly have written something for the newest issue of Shousetsu Bang Bang - an online original yaoi fiction journal. I'm mostly happy with it? Another few days to edit would probably have helped (school!), but considering it's the first complete piece of original fiction I've done in a long time, it's a pretty good start.
