Fannish state of me
Aug. 9th, 2022 09:14 pmI'm really looking forward to going to FanWorks convention in a couple days. It will be great fun to be with fans in a fannish space for the weekend. Also STEAK!!! Yum. And vids: yum.
I have been in input mode for ages. Spent much of the summer marathoning Star Wars: Clone Wars in preparation for Obi-wan Kenobi, which I watched earlier this week upon completing Clone Wars. Then immediately turned aound and watched Ms. Marvel because Disneyplus is what I watch during meals now. The Star Wars stuff was awesome and epic and Ms. Marvel was so adorable!!!
I beta'd a couple vids for <user name="heresluck"> last month, so now I need to watch Heartstopper, the British show about adorable teens falling for one another! It's on Netflix. Also, h.l assures me that there is enough friend group camraderie on the show to satisfy her "found family" thing, so I look forward to that aspect, too. But, mostly, these boys falling in love are so adorable OMG! If you haven't seen <a href="https://heresluck.dreamwidth.org/1248894.html">Hold On</a>, the vid she released online a couple weeks ago, please do that right now! The other vid will show at FanWorks and be released online this weekend!
I continue to read actualfax books pretty much every day. Mostly fantasy novels, but currently non-fiction: Every Good Boy Does Fine: A Love Story, in Music Lessons by Jeremy Denk, which is SO GOOD! He traces his life as a pianist and the observations and insights about Western art music and the musician's life are choice. Denk has an elegant, insightful writing style and he's lived an interesting life! (Especially interesting to me as a fellow Oberlin alum who was there just a few years after he was.)
I haven't been reading much fanfiction recently, but when I do it's still men's hockey RPS.
And now I need to go pull some clothes out of the dryer, so I can fold them before bed -- gotta pack tomorrow for a trip on Thursday!
P.S. If you are also attending FanWorks and somehow still need a place to stay, I have half a con rate Double still available to share with the right person.
