Miscellaneous is a fun word
Jul. 12th, 2011 09:50 pmIt makes me think of people misusing cellophane.
Work has been kicking my ass lately, so my presence online has been both sporadic and fleeting (and mostly related to geeking out about every little tidbit to come out regarding Theatrhythm.) But I've been super-busy! Somehow kinda finished my SMASH! cosplay on the weekend (just in time! Though it's a little unpolished still), realised it won't fit in the little suitcase so have to drag out the big one. :(I need to stop making things involving helmets, apparently.

And managed to see Kung Fu Panda 2 on the weekend, which was awesome, and also the new Dr Zhivago musical! Anthony Warlow was unfortunately sick for the performance I attended, but his stand-in still gave quite a good performance. Really liked the music, but then, I do love the tragic dark ballads and the russian war choruses, it appealed very directly to my tastes. And the set was amazing! Kind of weak ending, but that's probably more the story's fault than anything...
Oh! And this is quite late, but carzla on ff.net wrote a mini-sequel for The Fifth Act called Visitations, where Vincent takes Sephiroth to meet Lucrecia. It was quite good! I recommend giving it a read.
Along the lines of recs, lately my fanfic attention has been entirely captured by this amazing Harry Potter fic World In Pieces by Lomonaaeren. It's wonderfully written, quite dark, and is managing to scratch all of my alternate dimension travelling itches at once. It's gen (though mentions past Harry/Draco relationship in the new dimension), featuring a mentor Snape, has great characterisation, and it's pretty much all of my favourite things in a Harry Potter fanfic. Everyone should read it.

My own fiction efforts have become highly schizophrenic lately, where I am trying to work on five different longfic all at the same time. That's even after throwing two out. :|

Yup, twelve... I have something like 36 unfinished fanfictions that I haven't touched in a year or so. I'm terrible with keeping on schedule, I swear my muse Ailill is ADD. (Or, more likely, ADHD; he also keeps me up at all hours saying "WRITE THIS NOW OR YOU'LL FORGET IT BY MORNING".)
This is why I only ever write short-ish fics.
