I am doing the thing where I am avoiding posting or talking to people just for the sake of avoiding it, so I figure it's time for a post.

I haven't posted or commented on anything in forever, but it's not entirely me just being out of it, for once. The causal breakdown is something like 20% fandom burnout, 30% generalized winter antisocial, and 50% camp.

I have three characters in camp now: Graham from Baccano!, Kimiko from Dresden Codak, and most recently Medusa from Soul Eater. ...I. I knew apping into camp would eat my life. I did. But it's been a lot of fun - the RP itself is often really awesome, and it's a different kind of social interaction with a different kind of people. And it's sort of. Constant.

...The last thing I posted here was my haiku-in-comments post, wasn't it? I. Yeah. To give you an idea of what camp does, we proceeded to have an in-character haiku post, after that. In which I, despite my misgivings, had Graham speak in haiku. Er, a lot. Because it turned out he needed to have an epic, plotty conversation with Jack Harkness of Torchwood about Stein from Soul Eater, and clearly the best way to have it was in haiku. o-orz but it was so awesome

Also! The other day I started writing a fanfic just because I had an idea I really liked! For the first time in months. And I'm still enjoying it so far. Maybe I'll actually finish it, even. \o/ (Camp is to blame for it, as well.)

...I really love Soul Eater a lot, you guys. The premise is cool, the art is cool, they do relationships really well, and almost all the characters are reliably different and interesting and awesome. Including female characters! Love it so hard. ♥

Finally, have a random link. Because it is relevant, and I thought it was awesome: If famous poets wrote zombie haiku.

There we go. An update.

Ahahaha, zombie haiku. xD So Much Awesome.

Also, I think it's interesting that so many people on my flist hit fandom burnout at the same time.

I also have had my time sucked by a community recently, so I know the feeling. But the most important part is that whatever you're doing you're enjoying it, you know?

Yeah, I seem to remember a round of burnout going around about this time last year, too. Maybe a little earlier. Although that was after a whole bunch of challenges, and honestly I'm not sure I ever got back to the point I was before then. >_>
I. I did [info]ironman7 last year. Just. What.

But yes! And I am having a lot of fun. I just feel a bit bad that I have suddenly disappeared from my previously-frequented corner of the internet. ^^;
