i am postponing the Animu Boston: Chinese Porno Cartoon Tragedy writeup for a few days, mostly because my brain is still a pile of slush swimming in beer and liquor, and also i forgot my camera so i am hoping other people will upload pictures of some of the fab things i saw/did over the weekend.

I BET YOU ARE ALL TERRIBLY DISAPPOINTED.

so i am going to shower you all with sparkles and confetti and cupcakes!!! fanfic praise with this meme taken from bri_ecrit:

We can all feel a little sucky about our writing ability sometimes. So this is the meme to try and deal with that. Comment here and I'll give you detailed love for as many of your fics as I can. Afterwards, post this in your own LJ and spread the love.

I EXPECT MANY COMMENTS FROM MY MORE WRITER-LY EL-JAY FRIENDS. EVEN IF YOU'VE ALREADY RESPONDED TO SOMEONE ELSE'S. EVEN IF YOU ONLY HAVE ONE FIC TO YOUR NAME. THERE IS LOVE AND TENTACLE HUGS TO BE HAD AND YOU CANNOT ESCAPE!!!

I have no idea whether I replied to my entry or your comment...but I put something up!

I can't go wrong with tentacle hugs, calamari or takoyaki. Oops...(I'll play)

OH MY LOOK WE CAN BE LJ ICON BUDDIES!

so. meme time!~

I think I've mentioned elsewhere how much I enjoy the way you write Siegfried, but it bears repeating: you write a wonderfully multi-faceted, layered Siegfried, one that manages to incorporate all of the different personalities Namco's foisted on the character in a way that is believable and natural, not forced. I'm especially fond of how...astute you write him - in Bitter Frost, even if he's not certain about Soulcalibur's motives/true nature, he's not completely blind to them, either. It's a much more interesting approach than the big dumb heroic swordsman archetype most other writers (including the game's :| ) slap onto him.

This is specific to the latest chapter of Bitter Frost, but I think your Hilde is pretty much perfect. Her speech, her confidence, her mannerisms are exactly what one would expect from someone in her position. And that you managed to write very formal dialog without it becoming overly ornate or needlessly complex is an impressive achievement. (I, for one, probably couldn't do it XD )

(sorry it took so long to reply, LJ bein' a douchebag & me being naturally pokey makes for slooooow replies ._. )
