thistlechaserSo let's see... when we left our hero last, she had a whole list of things to do. How much did she get done? Almost everything! Oddly, the only one thing I was sure that would happen today (the GMing/ONS) didn't. Players flaked and canceled, leaving us with only one PC, so we called it off. I would have liked for it to happen, but it being canceled at least gave me time to do other stuff. Stuff like...
Read HP fanfics! Playing AC! And combining the two:
Yes, that's supposed to be Blanca as HP. I added the scar and black hair, but it's hard to see from that angle. If I catch up with her in my village, I'll try to get a better picture. (I meet up with her on the train so often that sometimes I don't find her in the village before I have to draw her a new face on the train again.)
My fanfics recommendation page is coming along. Chia (Fairly_Bright) found a good one (Wear My Face), and![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
isiscolo's recs page gave me Harry Potter and the Polka Dot Plague. Both of them (and my mood) really got me thinking about Snape tonight. He's such a complex and tragic character. Wear My Face went into the possible reasons for some of his... issues, and Polka Dot Plague went just a short little bit into the future to show how those issues come into play; Polka Dot Plague showed the conflict he must have to deal with: running a house that turns out evil wizards when Snape is a turncoat working against them, how each of the graduating students from his house who turns to the dark side must hurt him.
After reading through so much crap, it's wonderful to find stuff of the same quality (or better, in some rare cases) as the books themselves. I still have to read through the bad stuff to find the good, but knowing there's good stuff out there is the light at the end of the tunnel. And with Chia (funky_brother) helping, we have two sets of eyes working to find good stuff. Heck, I should give her credit on the recs page...
