I think I'm fandom-wandering again.

I'm pretty sure I mentioned this before, but I've seriously fallen back into old fandoms (I guess SMT counts a new fandom for me, but whatever). I've found myself rereading old favorite NGE and FF(IV, V, VI, VIII) and Xenogears fic. This may or may not be related to how I'm hunting down the last two volumes of the NGE manga, ripped my NGE CD for archiving purposes, and that a bunch of us are watching Rebuild of Evangelion tonight.

I have no idea why I'm doing this. Additionally, this is leading me to play with some of my original fic universes. Which is slightly frustrating, because I have this giant pile of 'gateverse WIPs that I can't even be bothered to poke at right now. Which then makes me feel guilty.

MY LIFE, SO HARD.

Speaking of my life being so very difficult, I just realized that my next 4 or 5 weekends are approximately completely devoured, because the show I'm Master Electrician for (Jesus Christ Superstar) runs the first 3 weekends in September. So that also means all my available free time after this week is going to fly away.

So, you know, my life will feel like it did 3 months ago.

(I kid. I actually do love JCS as a show, and I've got a bunch of friends in cast, and it's reminding me of some of the best times I had in high school.)

Hee! Fandom is FUN--just repeat that, and wash the Gateverse Guilt away. :-)

Heh, you raise a very good point!

Wait, don't you want me to finish some of this Gateverse stuff? *suspicious look*

I never said I don't want you to finish it... just that you shouldn't feel guilty. Annerb, on the other hand, I get to make feel guilty. ;-)

I see. I must have missed the nuances before. :)

I could try to make you feel guilty (mostly because I want to READ some of it) but I see my WiPs collecting just as much dust...So mostly. Don't push it. It'll happen if it happens. If not, you can let them die or declare WiP amnesty and deadness and let us see it as is.

(though part of me still really wants our DoomFic to exist)

Aw, your life. Sounds awesome!

[also, I am home. The game-playing device thingy we have is the....xbox? You were going to teach me to like games or something...)

Yeah, that's the track I'm taking. I seem to come 'round back to fandoms in cycles. So I'm likely to come back to 'gateverse eventually. (I have about 3, including DoomFic, that I really want to finish. Just, the words aren't coming now.)

I actually do like my life!

[XBox, huh? Big black thing? I'll have to think about this one. XBox360 is a bit easier, as it had more/better games. :P At least, of the kind I like.]

*nod*
(Me too! On all parts - 3 or so, including DoomFic, and words hiding in the corner - but I've started reading fic again - though I'm dabbling in several fandoms - so that might be a sign)

YAY! [and now that you have a paying job, once you get vacation time, you could visit me!]

[Um. It's grey? I didn't know "XBox" and "XBox-360" were different things. I can inquire further]
[Or just make you steal me next time I come to Boston]

So does this mean you know where to find the NGE manga number 9? I have 1-8 and 10, but I can't find 9.

[identity profile] ultranos-fic.livejournal.com 2010-08-24 05:48 pm (UTC)(link)
Huh, I have a copy of 9, but not 10. 10 seems to be next to impossible to find. I tracked down a copy for under $30 (because I am NOT spending $35 for a single manga) on Google, but god knows if it'll still be there when I can go buy it.

Huh, maybe they both had small printings and each of us just lucked out in the opposite direction.
