TaleSpinners

I am signed up for WritingMonth and so can you! If you want to be buddies, I'm 'kalloway' there as well. ^_^ My goal is 100 stories but that is 100 very short stories. Last year I managed 80 despite my life being absolutely on fire so maybe I can manage the full 100 and I think a We Didn't Start The Fire joke goes here or something.

Did the pre-signup for a secret santa in the one little gunpla discord I'm in. Offered to subsidize a local friend for the next month if necessary. (probably necessary) Gonna try to toss some cash at the food pantry. (obstructed more by their hours being counter to mine than anything - obviously a me-problem) Still debating how much I want to do with holiday_wishes, though I suspect the annual 'I can give more!' will envelop me at some point even if I want to humbug.

Comic-con is on the 22nd so I suppose I need to actually start sorting through things. I'm burning some vacation time the week before so at least I'll be mildly rested and hopefully so tired of looking at my stuff that I just toss it in the bags of whoever walks by our table. Or something.

Finished watching the quarter's JFF films and will, as always, aspire to watch the next batch before the last possible minute.

Alas, gonna be AO3 links for most of this, sorry. ^^;; But I've seen this going around and sure why not?

Bit of everything...

The Other World's Books Depend on the Bean Counter 1 (Kazuki Irodori/Yatsuki Wakatsu/Kikka Ohashi) - manga, read before and why I ended up getting the novels. I still have the last novel to finish (or, probably, a re-read of the whole series; it's only three books) and then maybe I'll get back to picking up the manga? BL isekai-gone-wrong series, does start off rather dubious.

Land of the Blindfolded 1-9 (Sakura Tsukuba) - from the box of manga I dragged home to read last November and then, uh, just put in the stacks. This is some vintage shoujo where the leads have supernatural powers. (In this case, being able to see the future/past at times.) A nice romance, and all the side bits with the puppy and turtle are cute. I'm debating keeping this one; I suppose I have a month to decide.

Disgaea 1-3 DVDs - the Disgaea anime is okay. It's certainly an adaptation, and it's enjoyable on its own but it also has moments perpendicular to the game but... (It kinda makes me want to replay the game, really?) I think this was out, originally, because my mother had wanted to watch it back before she decided she did not actually like the Prinny plush she'd adored for more than a decade. Anyway, she also did not like the anime and I suspect that was the beginning of the end for the plush, which I rescued.)

The Perilous Void (Jason Lutes/Keny Widjaja) - this is a TTRPG book to use for generating basically everything you need for Space Adventures. It's a joy to even skim through. I don't really have a dedicated tabletop shelf right now (or shelves, at this point) and need to rectify that somehow.

Mobile Suit Gundam Movie Trilogy - I think this was out because the boycritter isn't actually familiar with much Gundam/Universal Century.

Try Knights - I bounced off this the first time but enjoyed it on try no. 2 (lol). This is a sports anime about rugby, which I have no knowledge of and the series expects that of its audience and does its best to teach along the way. (I cannot say I understand much more, but-) Lots of pretty boys, lots of ship bait.

A pile of keepers this time (and debating for a bit on Land of the Blindfolded), surprisingly.
