I've been doing the not-really-posting-anywhere but continuing to completely read LJ and skim a bit of Tumblr (with not very good friend overlap but I can't be bothered to fix it...) If you're on tumblr and want to go friend Gement I'll do my best to both friend back and actually start checking that account.

I actually currently do my skimming and very occasional reblobbing from my originally Homestuck-centric MeddlingGeminiform account. I don't post enough Homestuck stuff to feel like I need separate accounts at this point. Maybe I should give up on name unity between platforms and just tell everyone to friend MG, or delete the Gement one and rename the MG one, or... I don't know. Hi, I have trouble managing my social networks. Any opinions on which way I should play that one?

ETA: Please follow MeddlingGeminiform (that's a click-to-follow link). I will rename it Gement in a few days.

In other news I've been unemployed since the end of September which may or may not change soon, and I've been playing a lot of games on my phone which does not feel like where I want to direct my energy, but clicky-buttons.

I want to get back into playing the drawing games, those felt really fulfilling, but I've been anxiety-paralyzed about those for quite a while now. :/

Much more interesting bit:

I have been successfully writing Rosencrantz & Guildenstern Are Dead fanfiction, and I'm about half done with my giant ambitious thing, tentatively titled "Rosencrantz & Guildenstern Are Magic"! If you're interested in sneak previews or consulting on plot points, do please comment on that. The general shape is a massive exploration of fanfiction culture, matching the beats of the original play and movie. All prompts, alternate settings suggestions, and "please do a crossover with X" appreciated. My notes document, which is separate from my draft, is 24 pages long, with lists like

• "Matching pairs of characters"


• "Possible dumbshow settings"


• "TV Tropes linkdump"


• "Stairs and hallways in movies"


• "Maudlin 90s songfic lyrics"

So yeah, come play!

I am so glad you posted because I've wondered how things were with you about 3 times in the last 2 weeks and kept forgetting to ask.

My life is unmanageable currently (work ft + 150 hours of internship + cataloging class) so I am not able to do ANY of the things I would like to do until this summer (ok, not really, but it feels that way). *hand to forehead* But despite my lack of output, I am intrigued to hear of all the things you have been doing.

Hope the anxiety re: drawing goes away, I love seeing your drawings and I know how much you enjoy making them (when it isn't anxious-inducing).

I am another person who has been thinking of you recently. I continue to think you are awesome. :)

I have no good suggestions regarding social media management: I assume everyone knows who mimerki is; I have a couple of other usernames I use when I either don't want strangers to stalk me on other sites or when I want to use a set of resources but don't want to be social.

I want to hear all about "Rosencrantz & Guildenstern Are Magic". All about. :D
