-I've been reading A Good Old Fashioned Future by Bruce Stirling and kinda want to go rant on my actual proper blog about how, back in 1998, he got totally the wrong idea about 4chan except for the fixation on cats. TBH I've only just bothered to look at the publication dates of the 6 short stories therein and am a little horrified at their recentness (between '93 and '99) given that I am encountering much more than enough orientalism and homophobia to make me want to stab myself in the face. If I do write such a rant, I shall link it here so's you will all witness my wild conflations of present, past and future.

-I patched over most of the remaining holes in introthing last night; I have no fic energy but nurse full-moon hopes that if I can finish it soon then the weather here will finally get cooler. It is almost fricking october ffs :/ One of the few outstanding issues is the first sentence; it is epic run-on and has not so much clauses as codicils. I still hate most of my prose tbh, it's so clunky and over-modified.

-Nakki has started reading my dw again. Hello, Nakki! *plot plot plot plot plot, with plot*

Ah, okay, please forgive my blathery codeine infused blather. I really shouldn't have babbled on without knowing the story myself. I thought maybe it was one of those evil Other, "Asians are all communist drones trying to take over the world" kind of trope. ^^;; I am ashamed; thank you for being so nice!

trying to send an American character to a Japanese monastic retreat. This trope, it is overdone at the very least.

Yes it is. Oi.
