September 7th, 2012 12:18 AMAstinusI never finished Savers. Part of that was because I just couldn't find it anywhere. Now I just don't have the interest to look for it. So far, I've only watched the first episode. (I've been catching up on the cartoon, Gravity Falls. Which, so far, I prefer over Xros Wars.)
As for the movie, I'm going into it with the mindset that it's not going to be a complete adaption. I had that mindset when I bought the Speaker For the Dead graphic novel, because both the Shadow and Game graphic novels were so good. Speaker was...sadly lacking. The first six chapters were cut, and several scenes that had the characters interacting were cut. So at the end with the marriage was revealed, I laughed out loud because the connection between those two characters was never mentioned. So it came out of nowhere.
I could understand the cut of the last three chapters of Ender in Exile in the graphic novel because those connect the Shadow and Game series, and the Shadow series was never adapted into graphic novels. So that makes sense. But for Speaker to be so...short was a massive disappointment. That's my favorite of the series.
So I already have it in mind that this won't be a full adaption. But this movie will have Harrison Ford in it, which makes me happy.
Though I am concerned about the fandom that will soon overwhelm the Internet. I'm so used to fans of this being rare that I don't have many to talk to. If the movie makes this more popular... I have no idea what will happen.
...I need judges, anon. I need judges. So far, all that's known is that I'm hosting it. Because why would the FF&W mod post any FF&W? :V -
September 6th, 2012 7:46 AMicomeanon6Xros Wars, eh? My opinion of it went sharply downhill after the first few episodes, but perhaps that's just me. (First Digimon series I couldn't bring myself to finish, actually.)
Life, as ever, is busy with studies but generally pleasant. Been thinking about this Ender's Game movie (which they're actually filming this time!) as of late, and whether it will be a worthy adaptation. Card seems excited about the project, so I'm cautiously optimistic.
Speaking of Get-Together, do we have judges lined up for the Small Writing Contest? -
September 5th, 2012 8:42 PMAstinusPretty much. There's a lot of those, and 02 revision fics that get something just wrong enough that it feels weird. Or epilogue fics. I'm picky about those.
It's great to hear that you're writing more! You know I'm looking forward to more, and you also know that I'm here to answer any questions.
Speaking of Digimon, I finally found a way to watch Xros Wars! Looking forward to that.
Except for the one you asked about how things are here. I haven't been active much around here. Fortunately, it's rather quiet, and we're gearing up for the Get-Together.
How's life for you? -
September 5th, 2012 6:42 AMicomeanon6Can't say I do, but if I pull out my handy fandom size:OC ratio:expected cliche ratio formula, I'd say it's about 1.08x10^2 +/- 5.00.
Speaking of Digimon, I'm writing my chapter 5 in a computer lab right now. Really wish I had gotten around to it earlier, but there was a bunch of computer trouble I had throughout July, and also it's good that I spent some time sketching out the specifics of crazy things that are to go down in later chapters. Hope to have this one posted before the Get-Together.
So how are things around here? -
September 4th, 2012 11:05 PMAstinusI am so glad that you periodically sign in because I have been reading a ridiculous amount of Digimon fanfiction and I have no one to talk about it with.
Do you know how many OCs have the Crest of Trust and have Dracomon as their partner? -
June 21st, 2012 12:03 PMicomeanon6Ah, I see. Let me know when part one's up!
They are indeed fixed, thanks. -
June 21st, 2012 10:59 AMAstinusNot yet. I like to finish a fic first before posting it, so that way I can make final edits to it. Fortunately, I decided to split this fic into four parts so it's only a wait for twelve/thirteen chapters, and not fifty+.
Weird about the emblems. I'll do a little investigating on that.
EDIT: It says in the ModCP that you never received those. Everyone else has theirs, but you aren't listed at all. It's weird, but easily fixable.
EDITEDIT: You should have both now. -
June 21st, 2012 10:42 AMicomeanon6I forgot to ask earlier: Is this 02 fic of yours available anywhere to read?
EDIT: Also, I just noticed that both of my Review Challenge emblems have mysteriously vanished. Darndest thing. -
May 30th, 2012 9:23 PMAstinusIt really should. I'm interested to see just how much activity it'll generate. Especially once I get the discussion thread started.
*goes to do that now* -
May 30th, 2012 9:15 PMicomeanon6Neat surprise; should make for an interesting month.
-
May 24th, 2012 10:16 PMicomeanon6I'm majoring in Information Systems/Computer Science, and I hope to eventually be in charge of some company's computers/databases/techy stuff.
Quiet FF&W makes me saddish, and I haven't been helping this semester. :( I'll try to get some reviewing in.
I hope the knowledge of an impending surprise doesn't keep me awake, as I desperately need to get some sleep like right now.
btw, I'm digging the question mark. It's the must-have feature for avatars. -
May 24th, 2012 10:05 PMAstinusAh, school. I knew that's where you were. What are you majoring in, and where do you hope to work?
FF&W became kind of quiet. Between bobandbill being busy with uni and me being busy with work, we're trying to find time to keep the place active. Fortunately, my work schedule changed, so I'll have more time to get stuff done. Like reviewing.
Not to mention, the surprise. -
May 24th, 2012 9:56 PMicomeanon6I've been doing great. Did much excellence first year at college, and spending some time relaxing now before I start work for the summer.
I'm absolutely in the mood for an FF&W surprise. The place could always use a good shaking up. -
May 24th, 2012 9:53 PMAstinusICOMEANON6! <3 I will forgive your disappearances so long as you keep popping in like this.
I've been ridiculous. And you came back with perfect timing. There will be a surprise for FF&W revealed in a week. C;
How have you been? -
May 24th, 2012 9:24 PMicomeanon6I'm back! And I actually updated that Digimon fic!
So how have you been?
