    Over halfway done; got a good chunk of it written this last week, hope to finish in the coming two weeks. It'll have to go on hold a few days for the SWC, though!

    Is that one the 02 rewrite?

    Also, Happy Fourth!

    How goes the chapter six?

    Also, I'm working on my own Digimon fanfiction right now. I'm only on the first chapter.

    I see a possible lose-lose situation fandom-wise: either it's really good and you get a bunch of nouveaux-Ender fans who get confused on which elements were in the books or movie(s) (there was only one elf at Helm's Deep, you wannabe LOTR fans), or it's really not good and you have to tell everyone "Read the book! It's not bad like the movie!"
    Or you get the people that claim to be the biggest fan ever! who don't remember any details that were in the book. And want previous adaptions to change to fit the movie. I will be absolutely pissed if the graphic novels change just so all versions of Ender have dark hair.

    This VM brought to you by people not realizing that Novinha is Brazilian. And the official movie Twitter spelling "Theresa" wrong. And there's one more thing I have to check before saying anything but I have more faith in what I think.

    I HAVE SOME...I mean, I have some free time now.

    Yup, that was a trailer! I had to lol at the massive spoiler at the end.

    Trailer was about what I expected: very Hollywood and lots of blue/orange, which is the color of Science Fiction now. (I miss when Science Fiction was black and green...)

    I never put much stock in trailers, because they lie like nobody's business. They generally make bad movies look better and good movies look worse, so I'm hoping the movie itself is more character-driven and less stock-scifi-hollywood than the trailer. If the script and content is substantial and smart enough, the apparent understatedness/stoicism of the performances could be a strength rather than a liability. If they're trying to make an action-y thriller on the other hand...it looks like a very same-y movie.

    I think the movie will really come down to what they showed almost none of in the trailer: how Ender interacts with his fellow battle-schoolers. And of course, how Bean is portrayed.

    So no, the trailer didn't get me too excited; but then again almost no trailer's actually gotten me excited since I was 12 years old. :P (I don't know, they just never do anything for me; maybe because they're all so similar.) Still excited for the movie, though. Hope it's smart, fun, or both!

    And while I'm rambling, my semester will be done in a week; and after that I hope to spend more time writing and reading here cause I miss it. :(

    AAAAAAAHHHH, ANON. GOOD LUCK ON YOUR FINALS BUT YOU SERIOUSLY NEED TO TAKE TWO MINUTES OF YOUR TIME AND WATCH THIS LIKE RIGHT NOW.

    I couldn't sleep the night before and then I watched it and nearly exploded and then I went out and bought two more copies of the book.

    help me what is my life

    Go pass your finals and be awesome and then return to some semblance of a normal life for a few months?

    NO TIME RESPONDING QUICKLY AAAAH

    I loved how Asa smirked a little as the camera was fading out after he said "The enemy's gate is down." Can't wait for the full trailer; battle room looks cool, and the two stars sound good too. Harrison Ford rocks.

    BACK TO WORK FINALS APPROACHING

    I HAVE FIVE MINUTES

    I did not know the Ender's Game movie poster was out; the battle room looks pretty cool. Also, apparently it's getting released THIS YEAR?! Whoa.

    Hi, Anon! Is your spring break over already and you only have a few short minutes to take a break? I'm glad you were able to join us for the CYOA fic!

    Did you know that the Ender's Game movie poster has been released?

    Ach, I wish. It's spring break now, but it doesn't look like I'll be able to finish chapter 6 before it's over, much less review anything. This has kind of been the semester from hell.

    P.S. would it be a dick move for me to slap a "The End" on my Digimon fic at the end of the most recent chapter? :P

    Seeing as how I just found a fic with the summary of "Summary: Davis dies and the digidestend don't care", it's safe to say that the fandom really doesn't like him.

    I don't know why I didn't realize that about Pokemon and Digimon. Now it's clear why I prefer Digimon over Pokemon, particularly when it comes to writing fics. I'm all about exploring the characters and how they interact with each other. (That's why 02 is my favorite season to write about, since that's the season where "relationships with friends" is explored the most.)

    Actually, I've never used A03 before. I've only visited the site once for a recommended fanfic. So I have no idea what it's like, only from what others have said about it. This is their Pokemon section, which will give you an idea.

    Go anon go anon go! Write write write!

    I imagine that lots of people were disappointed with Davisuke's personality in the sense that he had to follow up on Tai(chi). I wouldn't know because I don't really read Digimon fic, probably because I'm more interested in using a franchise's setting as a starting point for a story about new characters--hence I'm drawn to Pokemon fic because Pokemon's biggest selling point might be the world and the monsters. The Digimon anime rely more on character and narrative, so it's like there's less of a void to fill. But eh, that's just me.

    Now that I'm done dumping thoughts onto your page, I keep hearing about this AO3 thing. Is it any good?

    PS: Rah rah rah! Goooo Asty!
