In addition to the fics I listed the previous post, I also got another gift: Homecoming, Lan Sizhui, Lan Jingyi, Wen Ning, Lan Wangji, Wei Wuxian, the Untamed, by shirasade

Which is in addition to the fic already gifted to me: Double Date, Meng Shaofei/Tang Yi, Jack/Zhao Zi, HIStory3 - Trapped, by shirasade.

SO MUCH THANKS.

And the reveal that FlyingQuetzal wrote Lets Be Boring, Nam Shin III/Kang So-bong, Are you human too? for me, which makes me grin so hard. Thank you for your time and hard work! I enjoyed reading it.

As for me, I wrote Ventures, Lan Sizhui, Jin Ling and Lan Jinyi, with sneak updates on LWJ, WWX and JC, the Untamed. It's not as nicely plotted as I had it in my head, for which I feel twitchy about, but I hope [personal profile] halotolerant was generous enough to overlook that.

I also wrote Since there was no body, Wen Qing survives. Because I badly wanted to write it ever since I first watched the Untamed, but only Yuletide gave me the impetus to actually write it.

Actually, the prompts for Yuletide were quite inspiring, only when I started writing I realised I had to take into account the receipients' DNWs, not that that's a criticism - I mean, Yuletide's a fic exchange and who wants to get a gift that makes them unhappy?

It also means that I get to indulge in my procrastinating habit whilst I plot fics. -_-;;

Hope everyone had a nice, relaxing day and best wishes for Happy New Year!

As for Yuletide this year, I'm especially delighted to get an Are You Human Too? fic because it's the one series I've been quite obssessed with this year:

Not Chess, Laura, Nam Shin, Nam Shin III, by FlyingQuetzal

What I really loved about it was that it's Laura's POV of Nam Shin. Thanks so much, Yuletide author!

And a few others I read randomly:

Your Real Name, Spirited Away, role reversal, by ___

She who is best prepared, Legally Blond, Vivian, Elle, by ____

Offerings from the Oven, modern take, Chalion series, by ___


AND this really weirdly wonderful fandom tagged as Medieval Manuscript Illustrations:

rosy as a flushed red apple skin (never been as sweet), barnacle geese, battle snails, penis tree, by ____

the sap had risen, penis tree, explicit, by ___

In the Time of Kings, battle snails, by ___

Hilarity.

Been listening to the background soundtrack of Beautiful Mind (the K-drama, not the Hollywood movie): Left Alone on continuous repeat. Guh, I really do not know why it's so hynoptic/mesmerising, but it is.

Also, apparently Yuletide doings are coming up? I nominated AYHT, anyway.

I've been really unproductive this whole year since I stopped teaching that weekend writing class for 7-year-olds. The tradeoff is having more free time and sleeping in on Saturdays, though now that I come to think about it, what exactly was wrong with having less sleep but more money anyway? Should look into at least a bit of tutoring work. It's not like I'm reading/writing more. I've just been watching a lot more dramas.

Finished watching Are you human too? and hated the ending. What d'you mean, Dr Laura died? The foremost AI scientist in the world, not to mention being both Shin's mum, without whom there wouldn't even be the drama's events, basically got fridged. So annoyed. I know human Nam Shim needed a massive, heartfelt shock to get his head out of his ass (and he would still be a jerk) but there must be a way to do it without going for the cheap shot of killing off his mother. I loved the ending for Kang So Bong and robot!Shin, but Dr Laura's death robbed the story. I didn't always like her but she was a really fascinating character (building a robot to look like your son?), and I was waiting for her to turn the world of robotics on its head. And now. Trying to think of a good fix-it alternate ending.

On a totally different topic... Am trying to get my head around the realisation that there is a statute of limitations for sex crimes in the USA. (And I assume other crimes too?...) You mean it's like South Korea? How/what/why even-
