Plotting

So, AOOO Homestuck fic is nearing 2000, otherwise known as the point at which you lose the ability to view all works in a category. I need to get on the whole reviewing thing, don't I?

I'm almost done with Mockingjay, finally. Just another five chapters and the summation, which is looking like it's going to just be I HATE THIS BOOK written over and over until I find out if there's a character limit. Hate aside, it was fun to do and I'm wondering if I should do another book - preferably, one that isn't so intensive.

October, I think, will be dedicated fic-reviewing month. Let no one say I don't have the holiday spirit.

Not clever enough. I think I'm going to have to go save links now before things go over. I've already collected all the carapace fic, but if I want to ever review the rest I probably need to act now.

...and fuck, you mean it manages to get even worse?

Well... let's just say there's one thing that you don't seem to be anticipating at all and that I look forward to seeing your reaction to. ^_^

Also there's the epilogue. I know people who loved the books who thought the epilogue was kind of stomach-churningly sexist. But from what you've written, I'm not sure why they were surprised by that...

Well, most of what makes the book tolerable is probably the reading without thinking part/expecting any issues to end up being addressed, but an epilogue is the official end and sort of invites more thought. Like the DH epilogue and backlash. It's not really like it was some huge departure from the rest of the series, after all.
