It's the first actual novel my SO has read in five years we've been dating and then he made my brother read it and then they both hounded me and did not in any way understand my seething rage. And that's hilarious, and I think I completely agree -- Itachi totally gets to go to Industrialist Heaven in the Sky but Madara's a bit more like D'Anconia gone utterly batshit crazy, coming to mutilate Dagny rather than carry her off to go be relatively useless except for the tits thing. Oh geez, I'm both flattered and desperately hoping these mentions aren't followed by 'bitch be crazy' -- I'm Miri, I started writing fic to escape being a lonely high schooler, and next year's the ten-year reunion I'm going to blissfully ignore.
YESSSSS I can't wait; I have enough live experience via youtube and the download thread on the band's messageboard (http://board.shearwatermusic.com/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=1950) (check the later pages for things still up) to know that it's quite likely going to be life-altering and a cause for Tears of Beauty (which I haven't had for music since, er, the last Lilith Fair but that's Sarah MacLachlan and she had ten thousand people in tears so it was okay). I'm totally that way; as soon as I got TGA it was straight to the player, headphones, curtains drawn, and roughly an hour lying in bed going yessssssss. Truthfully, since the bands have split I've found myself more inclined toward Shearwater's music as well, but I can't deny the power of Will's lyrics -- even if they're mostly about groupies and whatnot these days. Just -- I love that sort of storytelling, and the way he strings words together will make me forgive just about anything else. And hey, there's nothing wrong with that -- the fact of the matter is you heard them, and you love them, too. ♥
Hahaha seriously I have dreams about writing something half that beautiful. And -- yeah, she's kinda that way, isn't she? Weirdly enough, I haven't read her Earthian yet, and I do know canon -- gay angels, bad animation, that's about all you need to know, haha. Still, she can make KHR poignant so I don't really think there's anything I'd put past her. Naruto writing in general is -- well, there's a reason I don't read at FFN. There's absolutely no quality control or even care, much beyond wanting as many OMG I LUVVVV IT reviews as you can, and it shows. There are some gems there, but I think I can count you all on one hand? Maybe two. :| I came off my no-fanfic thing for Merlin, because I hadn't read fanfic that wasn't by one of my hand-picked favorite writers and most of those dwindled away in those years so -- yeah. I've been spoiled and got really picky but this fandom has been an absolute joy to play around in. I JUST WISH IT WOULD GIVE ME SOME NARUTO INSPIRATION BACK :|
