Catching up and october round-up post

[dhampyresa]

I go away for a week and fandom pretty much explodes. How fucking typical.

CAPTAIN MARVEL IS GETTING A MOVIE! I am very excited about this. (So is Black Panther, but my knowledge of T'challa is limited to the Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes cartoon and the one trade I flipped through that had his sister be the Black Panther.) With any luck, the catsing will be better than the Wanda and Pietro casting. Admittedly, I'm terrible at faces/slightly face-blind, but why doesn't Wanda have curly/wavy hair? Her hair looks so flat; it's oddly distressing. Pietro's hair is an absolute disaster too. (I don't suppose finding an actual Jewish and/or Romani pair of actors was ever an option? Thanks, Hollywood. /sarcasm) Also, is that a French flag I see in the protest in the Age of Ultron trailer? DNW Hollywood!France. DNW.

Yuletide assignments are here! I got mine. I like it! I was literally looking at the letter just before I got the email. No, really: I closed the letter tab and refreshed my email and there it was. On the not-so-good/wtf side of thing, I seem to have lost my physical copy of the canon. WTF? I still have the digital copy, but still. Whereever did it go?


Fics posted: 1! (Experiment in Red, MCU gen friendship between the Winter Soldier and Wanda)
Fics worked on: 2 (the above (editing counts as working on) and a yuletide treat (...I suspect I will be less than anonymous to more than a few people if/when I post it sorry not sorry))
Fics started: 1 (the yuletide treat)
Fics finished: 0.5 (not sure if I should count Experiment in Red)
Fics I should have edited and posted a long time ago: At least one.

Wordcount for the month: 33 187
(Cumulated wordcount for the year: 400484)
Fic words: 292 (...I could have sworn it would be more than that)
Original stuff: 22 142
(Projects worked on: 2)
Various stuff: 10 753 (/frowny face)
Stuff in French: 0
Most words written in a day: 2 608
Least words written in a day: 51 (technically, I think this should be zero, but I did all my writing while I was away on my phone and just split what little I'd written over the days while I was away)
Average words written in a day: 1 070

Books read: 3 (The Mirror Empire, The Blood of Olympus, Crimson Angel)
Comics read: 4 (City Hall (1, 2, 3, 4) I read more, but I didn't talk about them here, so they don't count)

Glasses bought: 2 (new prescription, so new lenses (that darken in the sun, omg, this shit's life-changing, no joke) and sunglasses)
Watches bought: 1 (my dad bought it for me, because he broke the other one. GOOD GOING DAD.)
Hairs cut: ALL OF THEM (I was tired of looking like one of the Beatles)
 
And now Imma catch up on my flist.

"I go away for a week and fandom pretty much explodes"

I expected you'd have such a reaction. :'D

Undecided if I'll watch Age of Ultron when it comes out, but I definitely +1 your DNW as far as Hollywood!France goes. Blech.

Je vois que tu as trouvé toutes les infos Marvel, sinon je l'aurais mentionné. Je suis très contente qu'il y ait de la diversité perso féminin / POC. J'attends toujours un perso LGBT ou qu'ils canonisent la bisexualité de Steve "On Your Left"/"Till The End Of The Line" Rogers. En plus, j'ai réalisé que je connaissais Carol Danvers du dessin animé X-Men des années 90, alors depuis je fangirlise encore plus.

I have those type of lenses too. Pretty cool
