Before I'm out of town for the weekend--

[izkariote]

Quick update on the interview I mentioned last post: talk with the Chair went well. She says I've got an excellent record, and they're hoping to sign me on for another year with the department. The thing is, a lot of the old faculty members are returning, so there's a big chance that I won't be teaching as many classes as I was last year.

This is actually perfectly cool with me, because I'll just increase my load for my MA classes. I'll be earning less money, but studying IS a whole lot easier than teaching, much less studying AND teaching at the same time.

We talked a bit more about other things too, like how it's a good thing I'm sticking with the dept and srsly doing the scholar thing. She DID give me a fair warning about maximizing my semester (apparently she heard that I finished my sem rather early last sem, and with our New Nazi Administration that's frowned upon), but beyond that, all was well.

Changed the layout over at stitchedophelia due to that semi-creepy stalker person I mentioned before (although not in detail; you're going to have to ask me for that yourselves~), and I've finally got fics to pimp out. \o/

Fic Dump!

Gintama
+ But if I try to find you there are only shadows (Katsura & Takasugi, for rainy_takako)
+ Going to bed early doesn't help much (Gintoki, for rainy_takako)


Gundam Seed
+ Your place in my heart is the whole of my heart (Ramias & Fraga, for psychoshoujo)


Gundam Wing
+ I can't say which of me is in you and which of you is in me (Une watching Treize, for psychoshoujo)


House M.D.
+ A ribbon around her throat (Thirteen, for psychoshoujo)


Persona 3 & 4
+ Shitting bricks (Kitchen Shenanigans; for psychoshoujo)
+ Where the wild things are (Yosuke x Souji; for psychoshoujo)
+ Who slid out of my heart? (Kansji & Naoto; for psychoshoujo)
+ The throb that sways my heart, my soul (Daisuke & Kou, for psychoshoujo)


Soul Eater
+ Nevertheless, to be curious is dangerous enough (The Kids, for rainy_takako)

Basch is extremely difficult to play, if only because of the speech pattern. ;; I do hope that I'll get used to it soon, the way I did with Raidou.

Speaking of RP-related things: World of Darkness folks, I have a proposal to make: why don't we move our game online? It'll be easier for us to do sessions, I think. Lemme know how you feel about that.

--And tomorrow: Batangas.

Hum! Hum!! Ah, well, we can always roll dice with a random roller! Only mods will have to do it all the time.

Yeah, and to reduce the hassle of that, we'll just have to come up with alternative means of getting combat stuff across.

...Now to talk to the other players.

Leave the mechanics-crunching to moi. I've played a system or two that uses wound levels (or similar shiz) instead of numbered HP, and it should be easy enough to appropriate those rules to WoD. Fights will go a lot faster, but it's always easy enough to invoke Cut Scene Power to prolong their suffering the scene. \o/

What I'm more interested in developing is our Exterminatus screening process for the inevitable new bullet magnets players who'll wanna come in.
