Books, Fics and More FMA

[said_scarlett]

I actually got a bit of writing done today. I haven't had much inspiration for that lately. I'm going to blame it on still settling in. I've taken back up my research for my original work as well. I would like to get these stories published, so I will not be posting them here in my LJ, at least not publicly. I'm still plodding along on my fic, and I hope to have it done soon. I think I took too much time off of it, and I'm having difficulty getting back into the flow of the story. I'll probably end up shelving it and just moving on to something else.

I had an interesting discussion last night, about wizards and their scare threshold. They live in a world were werewolves, vampires, ghouls and things exist. They know they exist. Their fear of these things (if they have any) is a realistic fear. I can't help but wonder if wizards have any form of supernatural fear. Just something to think about, anyway.

I watched the next disc of FMA today, episodes 24-27.

I have the horrible habit of holding on to tiny, insignificant details. Long before I'd gotten into FMA, or even really had much of an idea as to what it was about, there had been a post on an anime community I belong to that was, essentially, an un-cut spoiler. It was just one or two sentences, and it didn't mean anything to me at that point. I skimmed it, and went on my business. Then when I started watching FMA, and I remembered it. I didn't know when the particular event took place. The minute people started making a big deal out of episode 25, however, I started to put two and two together. Ten minutes into the episode I felt my suspicions were confirmed, and therefor the episode has little effect on me. Which I'm a little bit hacked off over, because I'm pretty emotionally invested in the series. It all goes back to my spoiler thing. If I know something's coming, it has little to no effect on me. In a way I feel cheated, since it was pretty powerful and should have been quite moving.

I picked up Dante's Equation again. The book took a disturbing turn and I walked away from it for a bit, but I would like to get it finished and move on to something else. I'm still enjoying it, it's just taken a completely different direction than the first half of the book.

God damn it! I'm sorry someone spoiled you for that episode, and even more sorry that we accidentally clued you in by going on about how important it was. *Annoyed* I hope you were able to at least enjoy it a little?

Liked I said, it was before I had any interest at all in FMA. I enjoyed the episode, I just wasn't emotionally affected by it.

*Whimpers* I kind of knew in advance (I forget why, now...), but it still shocked me when it happened. Kind of like how I (obviously) knew the end of RotK, but damned if I didn't break poor ratzeo's hand while squeeing and sobbing all through it, anyway.

Hi!

Just thought I'd say hi to you, since I friended you just now. You seem like a very interesting person, and being a fellow writer, we'll, I'm just looking for some people to talk to every now and then. :D If I'm harrassing you, feel free to tell me to go away.
