I suppose this is exactly the kind of thing that Plurk is for, huh

- Dear active Mass Effect fandom on DW:
Where are you?
Signed, me.

- C'mon, self, you need to at least start writing FFEX fic! You already know exactly what you want to do, and you know you'll need a beta for it this time more than ever so you need to be done early. Why is this hard?

- Apparently people in this house stayed up all night playing Portal 2. I will have to see how that is at some point, but I have too many other things to do first.

- Speaking of things, why can't I seem to make myself pick up DA:O again? I'd just gotten to a good part... that game feels like a lot of effort to me and I can't grok why.

Yeah, for the "next big home of fandom" it was made out to be, DW has been kind of a disappointment.


DA:O is pretty tedious at times. (I blame level scaling for most of it - it's probably the worst thing ever ever to happen to RPGs.) I ended up setting it to casual after killing the 678th derplock. At that point, it didn't feel like I had anything left to prove.

My feelings about DW are much like my feelings about AO3 - I prefer them to their larger, more populated alternatives mostly because of their user features (in DW's case, the splitting of access lists is a huge selling point) and the fact that their staffs show a lot more respect and concern regarding what their user bases think about the site's decisions. This ends up distancing me from a lot of fandom-related activity, though, and that's a real shame.

I should probably just set my game to casual too, if it isn't already. I don't play for achievements; I play for the lesbian romance story!
