Also, Blind Go reveals are up!

[livejournal.com profile] lacygrey guessed that I was Otedama, who wrote What glimpses a goban, so she gets a fic as soon as I can think of a plot of sorts. Please be patient, [livejournal.com profile] lacygrey, I'm working on it!

I found the theme of children/childhood really difficult this time round. I'm not that good at writing childhood scenes, and I didn't feel I could do a good job of writing about any character's childhood or behaviour as a child. What I finally drummed up... technically it fits the theme, I suppose, but my backbrain kept wanting "creepy supernatural stuff! magic gobans! time travel! soul travelling! ghosts!"... >_<

I'm afraid I didn't have time to read more than a couple of the other fics so far -- sorry, BG authors! -- but I read Children at a Hundred, Le Ping, Zhao Shi, by [livejournal.com profile] justwolf and it was good.

Guzheng exam ended earlier today. *checks date* Well, yesterday. I don't even know if I passed, because I made quite a few mistakes--but at least it's over; I've been stressing about it for weeks.

In celebration, I went looking for Hikago fic.

My humble unworthy self, by esama. I love this fic like whoa. It has some of the things that normally give me pause in Hikago fics: amnesia, Sai comes back, Heian shrine to Sai, and Sai/Hikaru, because those aren't always convincingly done, but that's not true in this case. I love the author's characterisation of Hikaru most of all, and the way the story comes together--perhaps a little fast in terms of pacing--but so lovely and satisfying. There are a few grammar hiccups, but nothing major.

Tips on Being a Pedophile Without Looking Like One, by Moonlight Memories. If just reading that title makes a certain Hikago character's name pop into your mind, you might like reading this. But be warned: while it's funny, it's not at all flattering to that character.

Non-Hikago fic:

Take Liberties, Jeeves/Wooster, by [livejournal.com profile] thehoyden. Beautifully done.
