The last two times I've 'fallen in love with' a work of fiction and gotten involved in its fandom, I've written an essay about how I became a fan of that work, why I like it so much, and what being a fan has been like so far. Before that, I also wrote two other LJ entries describing how I got into two of my earlier fandoms. I've recently gotten into yet another fandom, so this entry is the fifth in my series of essays on that topic. All previous entries in the series are filed under my "newestfandom" tag, but it's neither necessary nor required that you read the previous ones first.



(I've realized that I never wrote one of these for "House" when I started getting into it last year. Oops. Maybe I should write a mini-post about why I like it.)



( Cut because it's LONG. Spoilers for Inception, of course. Also, the scene that ends both the movie and graphic-novel versions of Watchmen is alluded to, though not described. )

I've been working on this story a little bit at a time for the last few days, but haven't had time to post it until now.

( The AA Awakening )

Yesterday I wrote another haiku. Today I wrote (and recorded) an audio segment for a podcast I listen to, Jack Mangan's Deadpan Podcast.

( Dumb Memories of Cicadas )

Yesterday I wrote another haiku; here's the link. Today, I wrote the second half of another short story I've been working on.

( Truce at Cayucos )

Yesterday, the 15th, was another haiku day for me. Here's what I wrote.

Today, I wrote another snippet of "Christy's Reawakening." This continues on from the last one I posted.

( Around Town )

The story continues. This is the beginning of the next scene, which takes place the morning after the snippet I posted yesterday.

( Waking up in Daydream Dome )

Today I wrote a scene that takes place a year or two prior to the events of my incomplete short story, "Secrets of the ORCAS." This scene was written in response to august_writing's writing prompt for August 4th, which was:
"A phone rings in the middle of the night.
Who is it?
What do they want?
In what way does this change everything?"

( The Phone Call )

Today I worked on one of my short stories, "Christy's Reawakening," which is part of the Daydream Dome Chronicles. Here's the snippet of conversation I wrote today.

( Cut for length )

I wrote a haiku and posted it directly to august_writing for the 4th, and completely flaked out on the 5th. I am sorry. I did write something for today, though. It's a scene from one of my fanfiction works-in-progress, Life After High School.

( Life After High School, ch. 15, scene 1 )

Here's what I wrote today, August 2.
