today's to-dos:

[emothy]

To Do: (for today and tomorrow and onwards!)

- Finish Stalking Darkness
- Start The Earthsea Quartet (the next [two] Nightrunner books can wait, because only 1 and 2 have a particular plotline that follows on. And if I leave off, I might be able to have reread 4 just as 5 comes out!).
- Watch end of Criminal Minds 4.22 now that it's on YouTube (SSAUNSUB ROCKS!)
- Continue rewatching Prince of Tennis anime episodes and skipping the bratty Ryoma is amazing-wonderful-fucking-fantabulous-spectacular episodes.
- Aim to finish Mendol fic for springkink tomorrow, ready for June posting? (If so, then think about picking up the Gokusen girl!prompt and getting that done in time too).
- Update "fic list" on PBWikiWorks, and think about putting a version of it on fsop. (Which means taking out the links to the Hobb fic I no longer have thanks to GreatestJournal dying). [Yeah, I didn't do that bit yet].
- Think about lists in general. Mmmm, lists. (I think a J[K,TW, etc.]-drama fic directory would be nice. Some dramas have only 1 fic to their name, and if the author doesn't advertise you may never know about it!).
- Do more book reviewing/discussion. Myself and people on my friendslist frequently want book recs, maybe we need a proper place to talk about what we love and why. (Maybe Cyn and I should make better use of criticalreader.

That is an excellent idea.

Dude, I'm sure it's your or aliaspiral's fault! Definitely something that one of you said in regards to brokemycaps made me go off on a tangent thinking about it! I love organising things, I'd so do it :x I'm crazy.

Oh, it's nowhere near finished XD It's split into two parts; pre-smut, and smut [HOPEFULLY!]. So now it's just the smut that needs to be written. Which will take me about five times longer than the pre-!

Are you going to do it, or are you just thinking out loud?

If you *are* going through with a drama fic directory, give me a shout if you need any help.

I still have a ton of trouble writing smut! I can read the stuff just fine, but as soon as certain words come out of *my* keyboard, I'm all nerves.

I think what I'll do is pick a J-drama to start with and make a sort of mock-page and see how it would go; I already started wondering whether it would be best to organise by author name, fic title, wordcounts, gen/slash/femmeslash! Eventually I may be able to do each if I'm lucky ;)

Urgh, the only way I get through it these days is to insist to myself as I'm typing, "no-one else can see this, no-one else is reading it, it's just you, your words can be whatever you want, no-one can see them or say they're silly!"

Of course, convincing myself that when I'm coming to post it for public viewing is a completely different thing XD

I think delicious would work well for a fic directory. You'd be able to tag stories by author, title, wordcount *and* gen/slash/femslash/het. (Example: http://delicious.com/anenko/gokusen)

Tell me about it! I'm more nervous about these sorts of things *now* than I was when I first discovered fandom. I flock the hell out of most of my porny fic now.

There's another website I never followed the trend and used XD That looks perfect though; there's room for a summary/description, and the tags would make life nice and easy! Are they all individual accounts, or can you make a delicious that more than one person can compile into? I've already come across a couple of people who've start compiling drama fics on their own journals, for one or more dramas!

Oh, weren't we all so innocent when we first discovered fandom? It was write whatever and share it with everyone, no matter how bad the content, as long as you enjoyed writing it XD

Accounts belong to individuals, but people with their own accounts can send you links. If I found a new Gokusen fic, for example, I'd tag it with to:emothy, and the link would show up in your inbox.

I can't bring myself to regret being young and stupid; if I hadn't been, I doubt I would have been brave enough to post *anything.*
