Out of retirement, out of the (fictional) closet

[i_am_your_spy]

I have no idea if anyone is still reading this old thing after I disappeared into fandom retirement to write original stuff. But if so, hi! Hope you're all well. Since then, I've been bit by rabid plotbunnies twice, and in an effort to get all of my fic in one place, I figured I would at least post links here. (And eventually put my Watchmen stuff

Hi there! I hope you're doing well! I saw you logged on to Skype about a week ago, but was busy dealing with family stuff and wasn't able to message you right then. Come back on Skype some time. I will chat with Oil, Book of Sail and Miki (from the paintchat). We still go to the paintchat some times, just to visit and doodle.

Awright! Django fanfic! I'll be sure to check that out later. :D

I'm reasonably well! I mean, I almost died in the spring, but given that I'm doing much better.

So I'm occasionally on Skype these days, mainly to RP at odd hours with people in other countries. I am amazed that paintchat is still on! I miss it.

Eeeep! I shall have to hear about your adventure with death at some point! :(

I got very very ill back in 2008 and also in 2011 (both times, I got pneumonia and then got a severe infection from a non-healing wound -- the second time, I ended up with MRSA). I'm better now, but I'm pretty much house-bound these days.

Ahhh....RP. I used to RP on Livejournal back in 2002. Some old fan friends and I had one of the earliest interactive set of RPing journals on Livejournal. Most everyone dropped out of that fandom, but still it was good times while it lasted. :)

I guess you know about the Paintchat archive on Livejournal? http://watchmenpchat.livejournal.com/profile
We probably need to put up a final "into infinity-dated" post since there's very few updates lately. Also, in order to log into the actual Paintchat, you have to have to most recent update of Java (and some people's older computers can't handle the new Java).

Ugh, sorry to hear that! It sounds ghastly.

The short version is incredibly rare tumour that they didn't know how to treat. It's out, doesn't look likely to recur though I'll have to be watched for the rest of my life, and I now have a large chunk of metal and a piece of dead person bone where one of my vertebrae used to be, making me the most goth-industrial person you know. :)

I did not know there were pchat archives. No idea whether my senile old machine could handle Paintchat, but if I ever get some time (ha ha ha) I will certainly try!

I realized that all of my fic has something in common, and that's emotionally repressed antiheroic weirdos having awkward sexual congress while on the run.

I love you so much.

Search your heart. You know it to be true.

Weirdly, the original thing I'm writing isn't like that at all. The emotionally repressed antihero gets the least amount of action out of anyone, and the main romance is between a happily married couple and a sentient city.

Speaking of recurring themes, thanks to you, I found myself trying to decide whether any characters in the aforementioned fandoms could qualify as an AU Joker incarnation.

Yes.

You are precious and brilliant.

What was your conclusion? :D
