cornerofmadnessand I'm already so over it. I told the students to email if they needed the notes (as a lot of them just download it). I go in, no one emailed, no one had them. WHo needs it. 8 hands go up. I make the copies by the time I'm back 3 had downloaded it. There's 60 pages of paper wasted. sideeyes the lot of them.
Trying the wayback machine again but it's weird...One I'm not sure ALL my LJ posts made it to DW because I'm seeing different stuff. I learned that the geekgirlz stuff (my old website) was captured by wayback more often than not but so far NONE of what I put on Forever Fandom was captured. Ah well.
And I signed up for![[community profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png)
fandomtrumpshate. Check it out. I did this years ago back when LJ had charity fandom auctions but I haven't done it in years (most of what I've done in the last few years have been in original fiction anthologies for charity). I have Buffyverse, Angelverse and Fullmetal Alchemist on offer. (well you won't see that for a few weeks yet until after the sign ups close).
And my collected mail was delivered with a shipment of my books from two different publishers. I didn't realize I was getting some from Dreaming Robot because I didn't see it in the contract.
Day 7 - Stretch yourself a little and try something new. Go play in a new fandom or with a new pairing. Try working in a new medium. Or check out some fanworks that are new to you. (The recs from Day 2 might be a good place to start.) Leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your post if you feel comfortable doing so.
I've been doing this a little lately. I wrote a contemporary fiction romance for the holidays after all and most of you know that is so not my genre.
I've been poking aroundsu_herald and looking at stories I normally wouldn't. Okay there are still some pairings that don't interest me but I've been looking at crossovers like this Doctor Who/Buffy crossover
I'm counting fandomtrumpshate and the chocolate box as me stretching, okay stretching backwards to the days where I did tons of ficathons (and seriously looking at my 2004 journal, I did DOZENS of them and I think that was my way of staying sane. I was a wreck. I don't know howevil_little_dog put up with me but I'm grateful she did.
I'm stretching my reading slightly with Lady Molly of Scotland Yard by Baroness Orczy okay not a huge stretch but it's at least written ages ago and by the woman who gave us The Scarlet Pimpernel. Also it's free if you want want to check it out.
And I've tried a new band. Mongolian heavy metal (though thankfully not death metal which apparantly they have done). I can't get enough of this song or those instruments!

Hm, I dig the song and need to send it to another friend right now, but as a connoisseur of various metal genres I think this is more aptly labeled as rockabilly.
But while we're sharing traditional-meets-contemporary music, here is an Indian metalcore blend that contains both guitar shreds on camel back and a tin flute:

Date: 2019-01-08 06:19 am (UTC)Honestly I agree it's not metal (but apparently they were metal and this is something new they're doing, sort of like Disturb's new album which I love but the metal fans are whining about).
I'll have to listen to this tomorrow. thanks
