Man oh man, it's a good thing I ran out of episodes of Baby Steps and Haikyuu, or I would never get any work done. >_< I'm not the athletic type, I'm the use-my-brains type, so all these shounen sports series are a huge wish fulfillment... but I can't afford to spend all my time watching anime or reading manga, I have to finish grad schoolwork ( Read more... )

I suddenly find myself writing a lot of Kuroko no Basuke meta, and always in response to an ask... O_o Is it because the usual suspects have fallen silent and I am the only one answering the asks that show up, or is it because people genuinely want to know what I think?

Must be all that sports manga I've been reading lately, but man, I miss Deathmatch. The White Suit Society was a killer team--

Some days I wonder what I would be like if I didn't have as much ambition as I do. If I were just the kind of person to be content with little achievements and little successes, if I weren't the type to reach and reach and reach and then add a few more things to reach for even while the first several goals were still only a little underway...

I never feel lonelier than when I need reassurance and can't think of someone to get it from immediately. ETA: God, this is ridiculous, full-on panic attack from something insignificant? That's just WRONG, world. >_< ARGH. I need to go do something else or I am going to spiral down. *grabs a book* [Edit: Way to make me feel loved, guys, both ( Read more... )

Dear Not Prime Time Author,

*curls up into a ball* Why do I always do this, put tons of pressure on myself by starting something and then getting scared (of all things) that I won't be able to finish it properly? >_< Dammit, Ai, for all the pressure you put on yourself, Fadeaway worked out fine. Kise no Copy will be fine too. What ISN'T fine is NOT continuing. Just ( Read more... )

And in a 180-degree change from the previous post... OMG one of my fics has 99 kudos. I have never been so close to triple-digit kudos before. Fadeaway is less than 1 week old and right now it has 99 kudos and 826 hits! It's currently the #15 KiKasa fic on AO3 by kudos sort! OMG ♥ *bounce squee excited jiggle* ♥

I know I'm not translating for popularity, but I have literally hundreds of translation posts, and yet no one knows me. How do I know this? I get maybe 20 notes every time I post a translation (if that--most of the posts have less than 20 notes.) On the other hand, other people's translations get hundreds and even thousands of notes.
