And so another November draws to a close. I did manage to blog every day, but I didn't feel terribly inspired by it most of the time. Probably because I got so mired down in the election during the first half of the month and work stress in the second half. I'm a little disappointed that I didn't get more fic written, although there are three WIPs that should appear sooner rather than later. I hope.
I have managed a nice lazy holiday weekend, which was good. Grocery shopping, the Ferry Building for lunch yesterday, and we've cooked every night -- although tonight we're just heating up some pre-made ribs, but I did make cornbread from scratch, and it smells yummy. Lots of reading, some good spacing out on TV; we caught Star Wars on TV on Friday (you are never going to get me to call it A New Hope), and The Empire Strikes Back is buffering up now. I always forget just how much I love those movies. I always meant to snap up the non-special edition trilogy when it came out on DVD, but I never got around to it. I should check and see if they're still available.
So that was my four-day weekend. I hope you all had a great one as well -- safe travel to all who have not yet returned home!

I am grateful for my aged videotape player due to things like old Star Wars.
I look forward to your fic-- I think Muggy roped you into something Kinoc-related, for one, and you two are starting to get me more interested in Kinoc!
I also selfishly look forward to your reaction to the latest chunk of ye Epic That Ate My Brain. I'm drawing near (but still haven't quite reached) the Crimson Squad chapters that you inspired. ETA T-2 chapters to Gippal, 4 chapters to Nooj, 8 to Paine. Gah. Yes, it's huge. The farther I go, the more I am in awe of what you and Kunst achieved with DSHND. (Which I am scared to finish, lest I get into too much story-overlap, but I have NOT forgotten that it is waiting on my To Be Read box.)
Muggs' request wasn't specifically Kinoc-related, but I do intend to work him in there, because I love working with Kinoc. He's easily my favorite minor character in FFX. Unfortunately, that isn't one of the WIPs -- I'm not that far along yet. But I am poking at the bunnies; hopefully one will hop along soon.
Re. epic: I've been following along! I'm just the worst reviewer ever. It's nice to see you back at it, though. I especially like what you're doing with Rikku and Wakka. But I will do my best get you real reviews eventually. I think writing an epic collaboratively was actually easier than when I wrote one solo, because we could bounce ideas off each other and rein one another in whenever we got too far off the track. We also outlined a lot, which I highly recommend.

And I do not need reviews (though they are loved), but love to know I've got a few readers. (Which you are not obligated to be, since after all I was lame and haven't finished DSHND yet, but I am most grateful to know you're there).
Oh, well, not Kinoc from you yet, but I will watch for your stuff. There are few of us now, so it's easier to keep up. *wry grin*

I will write more Kinoc; I am a founding member of his fanclub, after all. ;) It's just finding the right ideas at the right time.
There's a crackfic in that somewhere .O.o
