Short fannish updates:

* I got my assignment for femslashex and I'm already at work on it! I get to incorporate one of my favorite AUs/genres in here. Here's hoping my recipient will like it. It's already a lot of fun!

* I was hours deep into the hole that is Marvel wikia when I found out that there exists a limited-distribution, print-run only issue of Avengers where it's post-CW and Tony watches a video message that Steve left for him before his death. A;DLKFJAS; The issue itself was distributed for overseas soldiers, which is very obvious in the story. It's not as shippy as my description sounds, but there are still some good moments and mostly I'm delighted that there exists post-CW angst that I hadn't discovered yet, and that no one in the fandom seems to have talked about ten years after the fact! Maybe we'll uncover more nuggets in the future ;)

* I think the summer of business is winding down and I can think more about writing and fanfic. For now, I'll keep it to short things for (very late) TRB submissions or bingo fills, but I'm actually feeling okay with writing now. I cleaned up a nearly complete WIP I had and posted it, even!

* Part of the reason for this is that I'm actually reading lots of comics lately. Also, I see mostly squee on twitter, so I'm more full of positive feelings for fandom right now.

* I watched Wonder Woman yesterday since it finally came out in Japan! In short, I loved it, and I definitely want to rewatch it again soon. I totally got chills at No Man's Land (everyone's favorite scene in the movie, yes??).

* Okay, not fannish, but I passed the JLPT N3! I think I'll make it a goal when the semester starts up again to also get back into the Japanese study habit and start preparing for N2 next July!
