Progress...

[nia_kantorka]

Heya, friends!

Sorry, for being a dozy smurf when it comes to posting here. But yeah, I'm quite busy with rl and writing. My FrostIron story is progressing, and I'm pretty curious if it'll get longer than my longest story so far, or not. It's not that there's a race going on or something, but the fic has passed 15k already. If I'll have the time during our upcoming vacation (the hotel promised functional and free wireless...) that I'll manage to follow my full outline, there's no way in hell that I'm done in 4-5k.There's also the tiny problem that I'll have to finish my hp_nextgen_fest fic. At least the Muse is active and I don't have to fear a lack of words. That's something, isn't it?

During my research for said FrostIron fic I stumbled over a recording of Billy Talent's life concert at this year's Rock am Ring festival. Due to tempests the festival had to be cancled after their gig, and they gave a stunning last show that day. So energetic and powerful.
If you want to take a look...

Long story short, they mentioned their upcoming Europe tour in autumn during that gig, and yes, candamira and I will go and see them in Frankfurt in December. Gosh, I'm so happy that I'll get so see them finally. I wanted to years ago, but I was already seeing Placebo that year, and it was in a matter of days, and just too much of a hassle. This year both bands are on tour again, but the timing is better and so - lucky me - I will see Placebo in Stuttgart with an old friend, and Billy Talent with Canda (aka a new friend) in Frankfurt. Mr. Kantorka only shakes his head at my quirks (and taste in music *phew*), but -HA- I so don't care. And it all started with fic research. :D

I love to do research. It's an essential part of my job, and I take it as seriously for stuff in my stories. The craziest thing I did this time (so far). I followed the Hudson river to its two springs (wasn't easy because the real springs aren't called Hudson anymore). I was looking for something else though-the tidal changes in East and Hudson river and how they differ. In case you are wondering and don't have a clue about New York City, they differ a lot, as the Hudson is a real river, the East river is actually a salt water estuary. Yep, fic writing is very educational.

Okay, I'll cease my rambling for today and hope you're all doing fine!
Love <333

Yey, for Frosti-ron (:D) progressing as it should and even exceeding expectation! I hope it's looooong, I miss your writing and I know how much effort you usually put into being meticulous and getting all the right facts together! :) Keeping fingers crossed for your next-gen - I'm hoping for a pairing (pairings?) I can totally drool over there!

Heh, I totally agree with people's eye-rolling not getting to your musical taste - I barely know anyone who listens to the same music I do (and certainly no girls) and I still thoroughly enjoy it. It's still quite a time to December, but I do hope you enjoy your concert! :) *hugs-ies a plenty!*

Haha, in comparison to your fics it's only a crump of fic, but it has kind of epic proportions from my pov. :D
I hope my nextgen will turn out drool worthy. No promises though. :)

Yes, it's some time until the concerts. I love arena concerts and am really looking forward to both of them. :)))
Your taste is a bit harder than mine, but as long as there a lovely melodies, I'm game.
