Hi in_lighter_ink

My goals - I don't know whether I'm online with my goals as my aim is to finish the fics, and they don't have a set word count. It will just take as many as it takes...and I'm not there yet.

Today I - reread/ enjoyed the pictures in half a volume of the (Hikago) canon and wrote about 200w of description based on said pictures.

Not much, but still moving forward. Cleaned the fridge too :(

Hello!

Yeah, that's about as far as I've gotten where actually specifying goals is concerned, too. :)

But it sounds like you've made progress today -- a little bit of forward motion is still forward motion, and that's a fantastic thing!

(Ew, fridge-cleaning. Worst chore ever.)

I find that cleaning virtually anything can made bearable by audiofic.

Rereading Hikago sounds like a nice thing to do (aw, now I want to rewatch all the anime, heh). Hey, it's refreshing canon!!

I find it hard to judge whether I'm on track for my fic goals, too. Good luck w/yours--as you said, it just takes as many words as you need to get there.

Its been a long time since I looked at these chapters. Its in the final arc that the art is the best, even though this part of the story is the most mundane.

I was really reading to remind myself about how the main characters looked when they are slightly older - something the manga does better than the anime. But I discovered something I'd missed before, not something I was looking for. There's a minor character (Amano, the journalist) who disapears between volumes 18 and 19, with no further explanation than that the replacement had to step in quickly.

I can see how they need the replacement for the story - he's a bit green and some of thie things he says are import and for the plot. But still, I think there's a story to be found in that question.

Fic goals, hmm? Not missing the remix deadline or expecting miracles of the beta at the 11th hour. Oh and not inciting the wrath of the original author^^
