Hump Day

Halfway through the week and I'm already looking forward to the weekend. So tired.

I had a really lovely response to the fic I posted yesterday. Lots of people leaving nice comments and welcoming me to the fandom. I don't know if it's because I'd been tweeting about being so nervous or if the fandom is just Like This but it's already in the top 10 for my most commented on fics on AO3 and it's only been up for 24 hours. By comparison the Untamed fic I posted in June had a comment from one fan who comments on everything and a couple of my friends and that was it.

It's not like I was expecting people to be mean or anything. It's just the fear of being seen and judged. I don't know, anxiety is never logical. I knew, logically, I was getting worked up over nothing but the feelings were still there. I suppose if I try and get back into the habit of writing and posting regularly maybe it will get easier.

But the comments were nice, especially when some of them were from authors whose names I recognised. I may have had a bit of a fangirl moment. As I mentioned in an earlier post I've been kind of overwhelmed by how kind and welcoming everyone in this fandom has been.

I'm also just over halfway through Detective L now and it's still a lot of fun. I'm especially loving that it goes down the usual trope of pairing the brains with the muscle, only in this show the muscle is a small woman who kicks the shit out of men twice her size. It's amazing.

It's starting to develop an underlying plot arc as well. There's a criminal mastermind nicknamed Captain (who is basically Moriarty) who is presumed to be a man Luo Fei caught and imprisoned 10 years previously.

But recently they introduced this guy and I don't know there is just something not quite right about him.

Clearly this is just a regular psychologist who just happens to find Luo Fei interesting and wants to date his best friend )

I've pretty much settled on watching The Lost Tomb Reboot next. Initially I was going to watch the original show first and then watch the reboot but I'm too impatient. I want to join in yelling about it with my friends. Although, tbh, I'm doing a pretty good job of yelling about it with [personal profile] naye despite only having seen a few gifs :D
