Happy Pi Day and Steak & BJ Day! Uh, the second link is a bit NSFW. :)

I AM ABOUT TO GO GIVE UP MY LAPTOP. SOB. I had it in my car for a few hours during practice back when it was really cold, and the plastic cracked. So now it doesn't close properly and the screen is slightly endangered. But I'm ridiculously attached.

No idea when I'll get it back, but when I do, this is a self-reminder that I've been tagged. Because my handwriting is really weird and I tend to make up letters!

Old Fic, New Reviews

My laptop is flying across the country as I write this. Three weeks and counting. :/

You know what's really surreal? Getting new reviews on ff.net stories you wrote in seventh grade. Honestly, I can't even remember what they're about, but it seems like a few of them were pretty popular? IDEK. Two were set in Tamora Pierce's Tortall and another was a workaround retelling of Sleeping Beauty.

Was anyone else a Tamora Pierce fan? Oh man, I remember pretty much worshiping her in middle school. And my TP fanfic was so well planned out! I had one insanely long fic that I was so certain could be a novel - it was an AU of Raoul's daughter, the first girl to join the King's Own. I just found an entire notebook of unposted scenes from that fic.

In the same folder, I found fifty pages of a fantasy novel I wrote for my eighth grade English final project. It's only the first few chapters, but my storyboard (seriously, all of this was very well planned!) had all sorts of racial and social commentary and I had a rather beautiful twist at the end to defy all the fantasy norms. It's weird to admit that it wasn't entirely terrible. I might even have continued it, if I hadn't lost all interest in fantasy.

Does this happen to anyone else? Getting reviews on a fic from a fandom that's so old, you don't even remember what it's about? It's kind of amusing and flattering, that someone actually went back and read it.

I need a writing icon. I think I have over twenty tabs open for Big Bang research right now.
