Oh my God, Shoreless--on your personal journal you mention trying to plow through that monsterpiece "Atlas Shrugged," ( why? ) so it may entertain you to hear that "Shoreless" was actually written as the direct result of a debate on whether Madara counts as a Randian protagonist or not (verdict: Itachi--yes, Madara--no) D: And--yes! long in meeting, she's even mentioned you a bunch before and my lazy ass just *barely* made the connection...and I never know what proper etiquette is in these fannish interactions, but, I'll somewhat properly introduce myself--I'm Shivi, I'm a college student, and I totally started writing fanfic to escape econ lecture :)
Seeing Shearwater LIVE? OAIFJAOIF jealousy, its waves radiate towards you! I can't even imagine the music live; the first time I heard it, I had to stop multitasking and lie down and just listen not wanting a single other sense to distract me from what I was hearing... your words are a healing balm--I ask people if they know Shearwater and they're like "a boat. a bird." NO! What kind of world do we live in!? I actually prefer their work to Okkervil River's, probably because they vary their instrumental arrangements so much more. And since I'm a n00b, I heard TGA first--which was lucky, or I'd likely have had the same reaction you did; Rook is a really. hard. act to follow.
"Above Reproach" is exactly that fic! Although I honestly don't think Mai could write anything I wouldn't like...(I read and loved her Earthian fic, and I don't even have any idea what the fuck Earthian is, good god) And really, I used to think the Naruto fandom was just sort of normal, and THEN I started reading in Merlin and KHR and...my GOD. I have hope for humanity after encountering the writers there.
