Feb. 28th, 2004 07:22 pm My LJ entry, 28 February 2003.
My, my. I was in the throes of depression, and it shows. I was so negative and acerbic. I still don't "rite sequals", I'm pleased to say, but I have mellowed towards the Perfect Day series, and I have certainly mellowed towards Orlando, both of whom I love dearly, as a matter of fact. Well, the series slightly more than Orlando, but hey.
And I never finished the saga, heh. Nor did I veer towards the exclusive Manliness I foresaw.
But: I do feel much more cheerful. I am not depressed at the moment. I have discovered some mindblowing fics in HP fandom, no less. I have embraced the Maltese curls. I invented boring!Orli and Desert Prince!Orli. I am writing a narratological analysis of fanfic -- and it is possibly the latter that boggles me most and represents the biggest step since last year. It gives me no end of a kick to fuse these different aspects of my life -- well, aspects that I kept artificially separated while depressed. But applying Aristotle to fanfic and finding that it works and that it makes both Aristotle and slash shine the brighter -- that is such a delicious thing.
I spent an hour on the narratological analysis today and only got about 1/8 of the way into it. It's going to be ridiculously long.
