there's something about stars

So at this time I have to assume I am not going to make it to the 50 fannish posts challenge. The benefit to that is that at least I will let myself free from the obligation and might be able to post more?

Anyway.

Long time no see, hope you are well! So many new things since last time!

I posted a fic (Dreamcatcher, Dami/Yoohyeon, ~2k) for ForTheRecord fest as a pinch hit, which I am decently happy with all things considered! I am also currently writing another which is cool but also sucks because while I write I can't read as much and I miss reading so much!!

Also, a new community for kpop fic kpop_fic opened! I have been wanting to check it out and be more active but while I gather spoons for that, I know they are doing cool things!

(Anyone enjoying the Infinite comeback and concert content too?)

So many new thingies to absorb these last few weeks too! Good Omens and Heartstopper and the Red, White and Royal Blue were my particular choice, but I also know a vampire BL dropped that apparently was super good?

Also watched Nimona too and it was absolutely delightful -- an automatic rec if you have not seen it yet ♥

Was also able to go to the Mamamoo MyCon showing here in theaters!! It was weird, because my body wanted to feel the bass from the concert and it is not the same in theaters, but also it was so so cool to be able to do this! We have come so far, and I am so happy to have had the chance!

OH OH also!! I don't know if there are any HSM enjoyers around but THIS IS LITERALLY THE BEST NEWS EVER (to me). I can't wait to give it some time and go back to the tag and see if any fic pops up!!

I am feeling some kind of way about twitter and not having a good alternative for the fansites -- everything else I know I would be able to organize differently, but that is the one thing keeping me there and I absolutely hate it. By the way does anyone of you a good way to set an rss feed that is not terrible looking for twitter accounts?

Also TweetDeck died on me finally last week and god it was really the only way to make the site really usable for me (especially since I have like 10 accounts). That plus the whole media companies erasing things and not releasing physical media anymore is not helping to the whole mood of everything. idk. We'll see where we end at... In the meantime if you have good tools to mass download pics from Naver articles please share?

Also the best thing August has brought? I have been able to work some more on some fic binding. God if I were able to not work I would devote my energy to do this all day, it's so satisfying. Currently experimenting on ways to apply gold on the spine of books in a way that does not involve heat as I do not own, and I do not wish to own, an Iron; also working on an author's(friend's) copy of the fic too to send them.

Hope you have a lovely week!!
