ThIs is what I get for not being on Tumblr
I missed the signup for Interhigh 2018! By two days! Waaaaahhhh!!!!!
Well, I will just have to sit in a corner and write a sports anime fic on my lonesome then. I have two extremely stupid Slam Dunk fics on the back burner I can dig out and work on.
I have been writing a tiny bit about two out of everyone three days, as per my goals for Get Your ( Read more... ) -
Get Your Words Out - 2017 result, 2018 pledge
I wrote about 50,000 words in the first half of 2017 and about 13,000 words in the second half. The second half of 2017 was crazy. But it was good crazy. I didn't reach my goal of writing 75,000 words for Get Your Words Out 2017, but 63,000 ain't bad. It's Good Enough. But I am annoyed at how much of my writing is...half-done, unedited, on-paper ( Read more... ) -
AlphaGo Zero
AlphaGo lost 100-0 against the newest version of itself, AlphaGo Zero. The crazy thing is that Zero had no human input whatsoever--it just learned by playing itself. I am excited but also non-plussed. I can only imagine how pro go players are feeling. This machine leapt over a thousand years of human learning in a few days.

Women who write shounen, men who write shoujo
In the wake of the success of the Wonder Woman movie, today I want to talk about something that is only obliquely related to Wonder Woman: shounen series created by women, and shoujo series created by men.
As with all my meta blog entries, I am writing for me me me and will only reference series I have seen.

Happy (belated) Hikago day!
Happy belated Hikago day! I wanted to post something on May 5th but I didn't have anything ready -_-
But! You can check out the 5 fics at tuulentupa's unofficial blind-go post, one of which is mine!
And below the cut is a snippet of an unfinished Ochi fic. I like writing Ochi. He's always grouchy.

Get Your Words Out - April check-in
I've written 33937 total words so far this year. I made a pledge at Camp NaNoWriMo to write 25,000 words of my novel in April, but HA that didn't work out. And I still...don't actually know how Camp NaNoWriMo works.
Most of April was spent wrestling with Dragon Naturally Speaking, first the technical hurdles and then the mental ones. I might write ( Read more... )
