Something to be fannish about

[krait]

So I went and bought myself something, because I was reminded of it recently.





Back when Freece was posting Captive Prince online as a serial, I swore I'd buy a copy should it ever get published... I'm incredibly happy to see that it did!

Anyone who enjoys original m/m low fantasy ought to give these a try. (Ooooh, and I just realised: I have a Captive Prince tag, and this post means I get to use it for the first time since 2011!)

I can't wait for vol. 3!!!!!

I know!!!! February is way too long to wait, but I have no choice!!

YES! By now the first volume got published in German translation, too. I kinda got a kick out of it when it suddenly appeared on my desk at work.

Ahhh, that is awesome! Maybe I should buy the German version, too, to encourage myself to practice my German again? :D

Sounds like a great plan to me. And it would boost sales, too, making the author happy as well. *g*

Maybe when she finishes it, I'll buy the ebook version, and then again, I'm not sure I can slog through it again (reading things as WIPs practically always ruins them for me) :)

Long time, no see - how's you?

[krait]

Aww, I can see that; I don't generally read WIP stories, because it's just so aggravating having to wait. (Curse of being a fast reader!) This works for me, though, because it's been so long that the WIP version has faded from my memory somewhat (I swear Vere used to have a different name??).

I'm okay, I guess. Stressed out about work and hiding in fiction, basically - I'm around and reading my friendslist and tonnes of fanfic, but talking seems like too much effort and it's just easier to pretend everything's okay by not interacting. I really want to make myself start posting again, though, so hopefully this post will be followed by some more activity soon. :D After a certain point, I feel so guilty about my lack of posting activity that... not posting seems like the only option. Which is objectively silly, so I'm going to try to shift that mindset!

Yes, that's why I think it may work for me to read all three vols in one go when they are available. But I also remember it being for me very dark/angsty/frustrating, so maybe it won't work for me, when I know what's coming. We'll see.

Sorry about work being stressful. Work is sorta stressful here, too, and I'm naively thinking it'll get better in fall. Hahaha.

Hiding in fic is awesome - maybe not healthy, but better than drugs, right?! I find interacting socially at work all day so tiring I don't have a lot left for the internets at night :(
